I would guess Hooper would slot in there and Leota would go to 6

I don't think there's any need to read too much into the Kellaway omission, he's being rested as a function of circumstance. It's Georgia so we need to name a strong team but also get some minutes into some players' legs ahead of Fiji & Wales. - Kerevi is pencilled in for half a game so Foketi...

I don’t think we are sure about anything, considering Christy doesn’t appear to be either.

That sounds like a reply from a Brumbies supporter. Rennie also picked Donaldson, maybe he just didn’t quite find his mojo with the Tahs, he was shuffled around a bit with Edmed and Harrison, and then Jorgensen initially Bradburys his way into the 15 jersey straight out of school and turns out...

it makes this inference: Donaldson told reporters on Monday that he trained largely at flyhalf in France where he was expected to back up Carter Gordon. Gordon struggled with goalkicking against France two weekends ago, without a recognised back up on the field.

Kellaway is Randwick as well.

That should heat the forum up a bit. It looks like goal kicking might be part of the reason but I don't think its a long term solution to have him starting over Kellaway. But, he may surprise us like Tom Hooper has, aside from that missed debut pressure kick v Italy he was pretty good in gold...

Foketi is the reserve 12, we start him there and leave everything else the same. Jorgensen is the reserve fullback. Agree with FP though that it could happen in the back end of this game.

His mum is a kiwi

I noticed that too - when I first saw it I did a double take thinking that Georgia had recruited him onto the staff.

Well yes but I do know people other than those I went to school with. Also, half was specifically referencing AFL infiltrating the GPS schools. I thought about this afterwards and I actually do know one that plays in the SAFL and he’s the stepson of a school friend. Thats about it...

does that mean we can select them?

I have resigned to that MO as well. I've done for every EOYT I can remember, works a treat.

Easts and Randwick, throw Sydney Uni in there too, rugby clubs are thriving. I don't know of a kid in my circles playing AFL. Not really under pressure at the boarding schools. The schools are modifying their intake, and there are less boarders, which means proportionally there are more kids...

I also had a good look at their squad. The obvious thing was that a lot of their forwards are playing in top European comps but most of their backs play in the Georgia team in the European Cup Eastern Conference or whatever it is. It's been mentioned by some on here that their strength is in...

The point was there are a lot more of them than ours. But fair enough, I'm half way through a bottle of red and didn't cross check the details. My bad. The coaching setup thing was just an adjunct to my original post though.

One thing that astounded me while I was investigating this was the coaching setups: The current coaching staff of the Georgian national team:[11] Name Nationality Role Vasil Abashidze GEO Manager Lekso Iordanishvili GEO Manager Levan Maisashvili GEO Head coach Lado...

I was curious to see who Georgia played in their lead up matches. When I'm doing the form for the horses the first thing I do is look at their most recent starts and rule a line through anything that is stepping up in class sharply from their recent runs - doesn't always work but around 3/4 of...

Good point - yeah probably Roff, but I vaguely recall Little having the occasional shot.

History would suggest we should agree with you. However, not only do we have the weakest pool in RWC history, the whole thing is structured for us to build a team. Look at our pool games, we go Georgia into Fiji into Wales - traditionally each of those is a step up from the previous game, and...
