Brisbane Global Rugby Tens

[Brumby Runner]

Not sure if the Brumbies have yet named their wildcard player, but Powell will probably still just be coming back into some fitness after the later off season for Wallabies, so George Gregan would probably be a valuable inclusion.

Gregan will be 45. He looks fit but I still think it is a big ask. Why would he do it too?

2018 draw

 

[p.Tah]

Who is the team with the green shield in pool B?

 

[TOCC]

French team: Section Paloise, they have a pretty good squad with guys like Mowen, Slade, Saili, Tom Taylor, and Conrad Smith, whether they bring them over is another matter.

King Carlos is Coming

"What chance then this weekend we see a little of that Spencer magic? Maybe a banana kick, or one of those grubbers off the knee? Or will he keep it simple? "When do I ever keep it simple mate?," he says with a smile, admitting he'd love to cross paths one last time with the Crusaders over the weekend.

Note: Randwick halfback Short and Warringah prop O’Connor have been training with the team as cover in their specialist positions.

Any Super Rugby significance to Fitzpatrick being skipper with Latu in the squad?

 

[Simon.]

The way these teams lists are going the title could be anyone's. Harder to pick than a broken nose.

I don't think so. He was captain of the trial game last week and I think it is just showing his senior place within the squad. I'd be surprised if he is the frontrunner for the 2 jersey this year.

I'd be putting my money on FIji!

I doubt any Super Rugby significance but in the 10s he might get sometime at prop as he has previously done in the shute shield for uni.

I expect it will follow the Sydney 7s trend... there’s a general malaise towards rugby at the moment

 

[Jets]

I scored two free tickets today. Not going to help ticket sales but there will be a couple of bums on seats.

Break out the Tyvek suit to keep your "enthusiasm" to yourself.

Shifting From Sat/Sun to Fri/Sat will hurt too maybe the shift to afternoon/night will pick up a couple more

Think Sydney's problem with 7s is that it's time to move them shortly, festival sports always struggle after a couple of years, once you get dressed up, get pissed, you've done it and it not going to keep you coming back to sit all day to watch a game that noone really takes too seriously. Not sure, but aren't the League 9s in Auckland going same way?
