Not enough Brumbies in there? Close to the most morbid preview I have ever read.

I like this team however I wonder how/when he is planning to have a look at Kellaway.

Yeah I read that the other day and thought it made sense, a good way to achieve multiple objectives

This is the thing, we can’t expect a new coach to suddenly catapult us to number 1 in the world. What we need to do first and foremost is arrest the slide in the rankings and start climbing back up them and improve the abysmal win/loss ratio we have had over the last few years. We need to beat...

Try the royal oak, fairly rugby heavy pub.....and good grub

I tipped McReight to start even before the M Hooper injury. However, I now think it will be P Samu

I don’t think anyone has written him off, only that he he needed to go to another level to displace the incumbents for this years World Cup, and didn’t do that. It sounds pretty academic now that he is injured though. He definitely has a future.

My guess is Eddie wants to see him get through the game. It’s a bit of a risk to give him a spot in the 23 and then he blows the calf again during the game. Bell is a bit different as surgeons have literally removed the issue, well that’s my understanding anyway. He just has to get fit.

BR has written him off but everyone else is pretty philosophical about it.

Agree, I think it will be Frost, and he might even be trialled at 6.

Although he was largely anonymous on Sunday (lineout excepted), so was the rest of the pack and I think he has to start this weekend so Eddie can get a proper look at him.

That doesn’t look like fun.

It would but they would look like soccer players. Hoops is the answer.

This right here is the most obvious solution to the problem - make the away jersey hooped. In this instance they perhaps should have gone green and white or something, but as long as they are 2 contrasting colours it solves the issue right?

But this is just totally subjective. On a similar note M Hooper missed a few but mostly because he was one of the only players attempting to make them. Someone else asked if there is a stat for tackle attempts, it would be interesting to see that one. For the record, I don’t think anyone is...

Sounds like Bell playing but no word on Tupou

Yes, I wasn't talking about 'never again' for these players, only that they probably had to show something special to make it to France. T Hooper and Nonggorr are definitely ones for the future, I wasn't meaning to write them off forever.

I don't think he will bring new players into the squad for this game unless there is a gaping hole that needs too be filled. He'll likely just sit out the blokes he doesn't want another look out, those ones probably being Uelese, Nongorr, T Hooper and Vunivalu. The potential omission of...

I agree. He almost said as much.

Considering how Zane went, highly likely pending the fitness of Tupou
