Can we get a home final?
Two bonus point wins and two losses by the chiefs would put us even on points but 8 wins us & 9 wins them so wouldn't they still be ahead?
Or do they look at bonus points before wins???
So last home game of the season after a rough trip to Fiji.
The force have become a bogey team for us so I'm not at all confident for this one.
Is it wrong to hope Vuni gets a suspension so he's unavailable for selection?
Surely he can't be in the 23 after costing us time & time again this...
Both can be true.
We've all heard the stories of Wilkinson doing extras after training to nail his kicks from everywhere & it won him a world cup.
I know if I was a potential Wallaby selection and it was known we didn't have a solid option to take our place kicks I'd be spending every spare...
Don't want to drag up the great old Quade vs Foley debate but this was often the argument on Foley's selection as he had the better kicking percentage.
What the stats didn't show was the options not taken as it was known he didn't have the distance a "better" kicker would have....
I see the opposite.
We all debate the options at 10 and the main thing alot here stress as the deciding factor is their goal kicking ability.
Surely if any of the potential locks, centres, wing and FB options we're debating were also known as a gun off the tee it'd also help their chances of...
Doran needs to lay off the crack pipe - apparently we're going for our first season win since 2014....

Why are we instantly ruling out Lynagh with at least seeing a squad selection and how the rest of the season plays out?
I'm not suggesting he's a starter (or even in the 23) but to flatly rule him out when there's no one standing out as a sure thing seems odd.....
I usually agree with this sentiment but the problem is that no one else does so out of our choices at 10 I feel he'll likely miss out on his kicking ability.
Which is shit for him as he'll get punished for having a skill no less (and likely better) than the rest of the team.....
Why would a provincial side with their best players out for national duties treat this like a test match????
It's a fantastic publicity & revenue raising opportunity as well as a chance for some fringe Wallabies to show their worth....
