And he has duly been called into the squad

I reckon we’re missing Kerevi more.

What Aussie tight heads do we have based in Europe? Is Kepu still there?

Well we threw that one away. The refereeing didn’t help. Nor did the rolling maul off every line out. We aren’t going to win many tests, nor fans, if we do it every fucking time. It’s ok to have it in the armoury but it needs to be a point of difference used at the right time, and definitely...

There are accentuating circumstances for a few Reds players not being there admittedly -namely BPA, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Wilson and McReight. I think having the 3rd choice Brumbies hooker in the national team because he knows how to rolling maul is a bit of overkill though. Yes, I’m aware hooker is an area of...

caught the last half of the WAL v SAF game. Now just killing time watching the ENG v TON mini till ARG v FRA starts. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning. What’s the go here, the soap dodgers are wearing a cerise jersey which means Tonga have to wear their white away strip - is this...

Or 3) there’s a contractual obligation with SANZAAR that runs until 2023. Everyone conveniently overlooks this. Covid gave SAF an escape route but the fact they were released so easily permanently is no doubt a signal that the end is nigh. I suspect that what RA are working on behind the...

Well there's 6 Brumbies in the forwards and 1 Red.

Their odds just went from 100s to 15s

At super level for sure. Helped having an in form Foley at 10 and Folau at 15 though. His skill set is more suited to fullback.

based on what?

Ah OK, my bad.

Because Brumbies hookers are the bestest. Great to see Perese get a (potential) debut.

it will be interesting to see how many Australians are in the USA side at the 2027 RWC. Hoilsey might even get a run.

Yes, which isn't as silly as it sounds. There's an international airport there - the Kiwi teams could clear customs there.

I think there shouldn't be a limit on caps but also that it should only be one way. I can cop that Pocock might want to go and give Zimbabwe a leg up to play out his twilight years, but not that Mike AAA decides he made a mistake and wants to switch to NZ or Australia. Tier 1 to Tier 1 is an...

I read it that way too. I don't think there was any entitlement involved.

It’s a schmoozing exercise to try to lock in their allegiance before we can - same with Louis and to a lesser extent the hooker that no one had heard of until Eddie picked him. Maybe one or all will go on to play 100 tests, and good on them if so. But until they actually get capped they’re...

I thought he was back up for Muirhead? I didn’t mind him as a player but he left our shores to ply his trade in Europe before he could even crack the Brumbies starting side, I doubt he’s high up on Rennie‘s hit list. He’d need to commit to Aus rugby before he even gets a tackling bag holding...
