I don't think Wallabies are generally available for the Super sides during the Lions tour anyway are they? It's the best of both worlds for me, I've bought tickets to the Lions game and my son lives in Newcastle so will head up there for the Wallabies game the next day.

Fair play but was meaning domestically, and mens - that's not being sexist as women's sports calendars seem to sing to their own tune.

Righto, so no cricket or tennis on TV signifies that it's officially the start of footy season. Bring it on.

Well if he does have a storming Super season and cements himself as instrumental to the Wallabies setup after the Lions and RC we can still select him right? Happy new year everyone.

You don’t think all those things would be useful for a 10? I’m not suggesting he’s not a good fullback but when mentioning his skill set I was mostly referring to his footwork, offloads and drop kicks and kicks at goal. Granted they only show his good ones, but at least he has the ability. We...

I think the big thing is that at the end of the Eddie debacle we were miles off being a Top 4 side. Now I reckon (despite the rankings) it’s SAF and NZL in the top 2 spots, and between now and the next World Cup the other 2 spots will be battled out between us, Ireland, France and England...

This has been brought up before but watch this. I know it’s only schoolboy level but take note of his skill set.

The ref made some calls in our favour as well, but none were as significant as the penalty he gave against Valetini after deeming he did nothing wrong in the lead up to the first try, the blatant knock on into Wright leading up to the second one, and letting them off the head butt to Valetini...

There is some confidence here, I like it. However I like to take a risk averse approach so I’m putting last nights $50m Powerball winnings on the Wallabies with the 14.5pt start.

OK so if I had just waited a day I wouldn't have even needed to send out all that stuff yesterday. I'll sign up and check it out.

Which is why I haven’t mentioned it before. When the game was mentioned in a prior post I thought about it for a bit and decided to write as it’s no secret that a few players returned home sick and it’s nothing really controversial, it’s merely just a talking point.

Which probably lends itself to the alternate idea of getting the participants to selecting their team(s) and maybe having a ballot within that - I'm sure a Force supporter will be happy to have the Force. We can also do things like devalue the plays that score easy points such as tries and run...

Ok suggest we wait and see what that might be then. The old format was a bit stale so my idea was really just a starting point to change it up.

I'm just getting a bit ahead of the game here and have been pondering on a way to make the competition a bit more interesting. Firstly, aside from the 10 bucks or so we have to pay the organisers to play, what if everyone also put in another $10 to pay for a nice bottle of scotch, or a voucher...

Just on that, I have it from a reliable source that a lot of the players were quite ill and that a forfeit - although obviously not seriously considered - was seen as the only alternative to what eventually transpired. It makes sense given how good we were in the first 20 minutes and that a...

the best kick went to Valetini's left footer off the ground from the bungled Scottish lineout throw. We should have scored off that except for Tate's brain fart edit PS also an 8

I think he has already made the call - I don't think he needs to shoot the lights out, just needs to be on par. Personally I would prefer Donaldson there as well but the evidence is mounting that that's not going to happen.

Joe's brief is to provide a team that is competitive against the Lions so it's probably no coincidence that he's 5-1 against NH teams and 1-5 against SH teams. I am guessing that he sees Lolesio as the best fit for his strategy against the Lions, and said strategy being practiced against the...

I agree that against Wales when we were clearly going to win he could have taken the risk and given him more minutes. I guess the benefit of keeping Donaldson on the bench is that he is versatile and you could envisage a scenario where just about any injury aside from a front rower can be...
