Well the backline will be 100% cured. You’ve forgotten about dropping Hooper back to Club Rugby to fix up the pack.

Wrong, Alan Jones has indicated that Hooper should start at 12.

 

[A mutterer]

Not gonna lie, wouldn't mind seeing Hooper in the backline.

Only problem is that he ain't pretty enough, nor a regular hair product user

According to the NZHurld, "The Australian newspaper is reporting that Rugby Australia will wait until next month before they make a decision on whether Cheika is the right man to coach the side at next year's World Cup..."

Who wrote the article? Growden, or someone who might actually have some off-the-record info?

 

[Slim 293]

It's Wayne Smith......... so, probably not the most reliable journalist.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^ so who is reliable? Or to put it another way, if RA really were having second thoughts about TGC taking Wobs to RWC & wanted to get a feel for how the rugby public feel on the issue, who would they talk to off the record? Timing seems curious, too, or is Smith just trying to out-Jones Jones?

Maybe not, but he hair flicks like nobody’s business

Apparently Cane injured his knee at training yesterday & took little part in today's captain's run. As you'd expect the official line is that he'll be good to go but Dismal's favorite 6/8 was seen running some moves off the back of the scrum towards the end so could be 7. Savea 20. Frizzell if they don't want to risk Cane so early in TRC.

I've been saying Hooper is our best 12 for years!!

HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) played THP in the under 20s (him and Vui shared time there). He has moved to the LHP side because that is what the Tahs needed.

Presumably that will continue next year with HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) the reserve LHP and Vui the reserve THP.

Both really promising young players, especially in their positions.

Hooper at 12? He was tried there many moons ago and in his own words he didn't enjoy the experience.

He is not our best No 7, but he is certainly not in the running for No 12.

Obviously. Who would take anything Alan Joned says seriously?
