Brumbies 2012

[Brumby Jack]

Vaea could also have a crack at 6 surely?

Not when Mowen, Kimlin and Fardy are there and would only be last resort.

 

[Slim 293]

Unfortunately for Vaea, his role as an impact player off the bench seems ideal...

But, I don't really want him coming on for Hooper...

There really is a major difference when he's not on the field...

It will be interesting to see where Fotu Auelua fits in I believe he is going to SA on tour.

I am starting to think that there has been a rash of razor thefts in the Oz Super Rugby teams.

Whichever thief struck, they struck A LOT harder on the Kiwi teams!

Good point Jnor. Who is the Super Rugby razor thief?

You guys will play a Welsh XV on Tuesday June 12 http://bit.ly/I3gOOE

Does anyone else thing Mogg would make, in time, a excellent international open side winger and could be exactly what everyone is desperate for Rod Davies to be?

 

[Slim 293]

The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised to see Mogg playing on the wing for the Wallabies at some stage this year...

The kid has great acceleration...

He needs to work on his defence though...

 

[tranquility]

Mogg will be a Wallaby this year for certain. Certified freak.

 

[Brumbies Guy]

Mogg's biggest weakness is his defense, his tackling stats would make Quade look like a star. I think he'd probably benefit more going to the Wallabies extended camp, and then having a full preseason with the Brumbies rather than getting thrown onto the wing for the Wallabies. He was just a kid with a massive boot playing club rugby here in Canberra only a couple of months ago, it would be a rapid rise if it happens.

 

[Slim 293]

At fullback in a one on one situation you just don't have confidence in him making the tackle...

Otherwise, just about everything else about his game is excellent...

Just needs to shave a few metres off his kicking sometimes...

I'd rather him put it up in the air and contest it that way as I have more confidence in him being able to retain the ball...

 

[Bowside]

Mogg is not ready to play test rugby. He still makes too many little mistakes. He will probably be a wallaby one day but not just yet.

 

[qwerty51]

If Robbie is willing to select someone like Davies who has zero winger skills Mogg will get selected.

 

[Slim 293]

There aren't really a lot of fit winger options at the moment...

Ioane and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

Maybe JOC (James O'Connor)?

Mitchell and Turner are both crocked...

 

[Paradox]

Tomane's gone well.

 

[en_force_er]

Tomane's gone well.

He has gone well, which is to say he's certainly on track for a 2013 Wallaby berth (which is all we could expect and more).

I would mind seeing A.Smith run as a blind winger (which he's done for the Brums before) and Digby run as an open winger.

Yes, Digby isn't accustomed to that role but he has the pace for it.

Younger blokes like Shipperely, Kingston and Tomane all deserve a crack.

A Smith is to slow for a wing posy.

 

[tranquility]

Ship Her Lee? Shorley......

 

[fatprop]

Maybe because of injury or the Scotland game, but Ioane and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are the obvious first choices for test matches
