The Independant 22/02/10 from Report on Bath v Worcs match
"Salvi, up against the deeply committed Worcester captain, Pat Sanderson, was quite something to behold, especially in the early stages when the contest was at its most balanced. Time and again he snaffled prime possession on the floor, and armed with the best kind of attacking ball, the likes of Nick Abendanon and Joe Maddock looked a million dollars. Unfortunately for the West Countrymen, the Australian has the call of the outback ringing in his ears. Or rather, the call of Canberra, which amounts to the same thing, culturally speaking. The ACT Brumbies are very keen on his services for next year's Super 15, and Salvi is likely to accept their offer.
Breakaway forwards of his calibre do not grow on trees – Steve Meehan, the head coach, knew a thing or two when he lured Salvi to England last summer – and Bath will feel the lack of him. At least they are getting their money's worth now. A Heineken Cup qualification place beckons, and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they will slip, ever so quietly, into the Premiership play-offs. "
Are you Brumbie bu99ers pinching our Mr Salvi???? Slimey Dingos! He's a fantastic player.

. Salvi was also good for the Brumbies but was going head to head with Smith . I rate Salvi now better than Waugh.
