Call me crazy but with some of those forwards it actually looks like we might have the size to compete for once...

If those filthy Mungos hadn't struck, then the likes of Angus Crichton, Tobias Rudolf, John Walker and Tom Wright from NSW also come into the picture and several could have attracted the attention of the National selectors. Pretty sure that we have lost talent to mungoball north of the Tweed River as well as these athletes.

No Underhill. Vindictive England policy strikes again. Fuckwits.
Mason is the only specialist flyhalf. I've seen Jooste play flyhalf as a schoolboy, but he didn't look like a specialist to me: just one of those best boys in the team that are given the 10 jersey. Mind you, I said that about Debreczeni at Trinity.
So, what happens if Mason is hurt at Jooste plays 10 - who then is the backup for Maddocks at fullback?
.
Jooste is known as "Bernie Junior" apparently at the Brumbies and was reported to have been recruited as a 10.
Underhill can qualify to play for USA as he was born there
One thing remarkable about Maddocks and why he will be preferred at 15 - if it ever came to a decision between Jooste and him - is that he can kick the ball a long way with both feet.
But the Aussies could have a banana skin game against Scotland. They gave Wales a tough game and will be better than they were last year.
