I think you'll find that CA's contract will either be downgraded or not renewed. There are rumours that the major naming sponsor is a logistics/delivery company that isn't FedEx.

That would have to be DHL?

I think I'd much prefer to have 'CA' on the front of the jersey than a big DHL logo.

Viliame Iongi is lining up on the wing for Tonga against the All Blacks tomorrow night.

Is he still part of the Brumbies Academy?

He has been pretty outstanding during PNC (Pacific Nations Cup) et other preparation games. 7 tries for 6 games.

Number 69, a very popular position. Played a bit of that myself in years gone past.

How good was Nic White for the Woodies vs Randwick on the weekend… He sure made Josh Valentine look run of the mill. It’s going to be a good competition to see who wins the starting Brumbies scrum half jersey in 2012 between White and Prior.

My agree didn't quite do it.

I think Nic is a future Wallaby. It's a big call basing that on Shute Shield form but you can see the makings. His strength is sniping so the other side of that is that he has get quick and accurate delivery up to that level - not that it is bad by any means. Sure, it helps playing in the best team in the comp, so we have to discount him a bit for that, but he has a mojo that can take him a long way IMO.

He impressed earlier this year for the Brumby Runners v the Junior Tahs, not at scrumhalf but as the 10. Versatile - and he kicked the goals too.

I don't know a lot about Prior but Qld posters talk highly of him. Nevertheless, because I reckon Nic is definitely Super quality I think that he will get the nod.

I heard a rumor yesterday that the Brumbies will play the Blues in a trial in Darwin in Febuary. It was going to be the Chiefs though it fell through is what has been doing the rounds.

Nis White reminds me of Ricky Stuart... Always thinking, always getting the extra yards... Always catching the opposition out...

White was outstanding on the weekend. His ability to pick out the right reciever as in FitzPatrick's try and the quick throw at the finish for Reilly's try were evidence of a very good footballer along with scoring three himself and an allround kicking game had it all on show. With his brief appearances last year looks ready to step up.

Postmancheros: For those who don't remember, the Postmancheros is the ACT Brumbies' bikie gang which rode around the streets of Manuka, Griffith and Kingston on postie bikes. However, prop Dan Palmer has decided to upgrade and is getting a custom motorbike made up in the United States and it's due for arrival in a month. Matt To'omua had his postie stolen earlier this year so he gets Palmer's old wheels. Henry Vanderglas has also left, but the rumour is To'omua is about to add two more members to his gang. Peter Kimlin and Nic White have both purchased postie bikes and are ready to roll. ''Kimmo even has gloves,'' To'omua boasted. ''We're not losing muscle, we're adding it with Kimmo and Whitey and Palms's new bike.'' Palmer said he was a foundation Postmancheros member and he couldn't turn his back on the gang. But he might look a little out of place riding next to To'omua, Kimlin and White.
