I was actually wondering if that might be seen as an 'outside the square' variation, with Bobby V or someone hitting it up at 12.

They aren't reshuffling, they are (at least seem to be) permanent changes to facilitate his best team going forward.

My recollection at the time was that there was no way RA could justify competing with that money for a 17 year old and that it was a better outcome to let the NRL develop him and then buy him back later. Which is exactly what has transpired, probably a bit over what was anticipated though. He...

3. Bell 2. Ikitau 1. Sua'ali'i HMs pretty much everyone else

Don't forget Tom Wright (J), Jeremy Williams (S) and Dylan Pietsch (K)

that kind of gets covered in this article: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/british-media-predict-joseph-Sua'ali'i-will-transform-wallabies-and-lure-new-generation-of-aussie-kids-to-rugby/news-story/89a1183e4496b0ad975a48fe89804393 “The birth of a star”. Former NRL gun...

Schmidt's MO seems to be to avoid reshuffling and bring the next pick in that position to cover for an injury. If he wants to give Skelton a run then it will be at the expense of a lock, either way I think we will see Gleeson in the 8 jersey. The caveat here would be if Wilson is out for the...

Pietsch looked upset he was taken off and certainly didn't look in Disneyland. I reckon it was close to time to bring on Jorgo anyway but I don't think we heard if he failed his HIA or not.

Well that's no surprise. Mark Geyer on MMM this morning said something like 'you have to be concerned about the state of Australian rugby when a player from who has never played a minute of pro rugby gets named MOTM'. Never mind the result of the game, or that he is equally a rugby product...

That one was Pietsch I think you are referring to, when he was shouldered into the sideline chasing a kick where he may well have scored if he regathered. The Kellaway one was where he perfectly executed a kick chase, smashed the receiver, stood up and went for the jackal and got penalized for...

TBH I'm content with the Saffa's beating them and then they give Eddie's Japan a hiding.

Would have liked this but I couldnt split out the bold part

I thought after I wrote that that perhaps leaving them as they are I.e switching in defense might actually be the answer:. the poms were doing the same thing. Wasn’t thinking of him as a crash baller, more an offloading role like SBW

That was incredible! Mods, we might need more numbers than 3-2-1 for the voting. Pretty sure we have found our centre pairing although JAS will probably end up at 12 once he settles in.

His first ever gig for the Lions 11 years ago wasn't great, but I actually don't mind Matt Burke as a presenter and he has a good rugby head plus a bit of wit. I've had a beer and chat with him on the odd occassion, seems a pretty genuine bloke. He finishes up at 10 at the end of the year, I...

It doesn't say - based on their current national sides I'm guessing one of France, Ireland or Scotland.

There was a global talent scout on the sidelines at Scots College on July 27, 2019, watching play unfold in a Sydney schoolboys rugby game. Scots were leading Kings 15-0 at halftime. Then Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i decided something needed to happen. The Kings player stopped waiting for the ball...

Good, Ireland drop to 3rd in the world rankings. The pundits can now officially cease referring to the side that has still never made it out of the RWC quarters as ‘the best team in the world’. Well done ABs, I don’t own a jersey so was donning a black T shirt

So our (effectively) national 3rd XV managed a draw against a club side.

Similarly, I'm sure there is a more complex structure to it than what was reported.
