It's obvious, but no Kurtley.

So in effect the minimum punishment he'll get is a six match ban and $60,000.

Of course, it could still be a lot more than that

I've already heard rumors out of Victorian club land of a Victorian push to undermine and ultimately oust Cheika.

Time for a bit of Victorian Bias to take over the boards, dammit. You NSWmen and Qlders shouldn't have a monopoly on bias!

Funny how in the media down here Link was a Victorian when he got the job, and a Qlder when he left it.

I think the next Wallaby coach should be the winner of a reality show, like Big Brother.

Looks like 9 Tahs, 9 Ponies, 7 Reds, 4 Rebels, 4 Force.

Uncapped: English, Faulkner, Godwin, McMahon, Speight.

Edit: Rebels -1, Force +1

It's crazy looking at the amount of caps some of those players have. Players like Higgers, Kepu, Fainga have a lot of caps but are only now seem to be playing like worthy Test players.

Guess it takes 20+ caps for most players to adapt?

Interesting only 3 Force players. Nathan Charles injured, Badger unavailable, and a couple on the fringe. Highlights that they went well as a team this year although they seem to have a couple more foreign players than others.

I am pretty excited about the quality of the uncapped players, it also says a lot about the depth of the squad. The last side picked for 2014 may look a little different to the team that played France.

4 Force players. McCalman, Hodgson, Godwin and Faulkner.

He must either still be suffering from some concussion symptoms or they've decided to give him a long break given how long it hung around after his concussion.


In that case it's fair enough I suppose... Still, a bruiser like him would have been useful on this trip given no tpn, Moore, Douglas etc.

Good opportunity for younger blokes and out of favour blokes like Horwill to show they can bring the physicality required to navigate through hard games away from home.

From this squad what's a hypothetical 1st string team and who would you be giving opportunities vs the BaaBaas


Verse BaaBaa's would blood Godwin and Luke Jones. Probably give Cooper a start too to see where he is at. Our locks have been under performing so it would be a priority to see what other contenders can do. I would say the same about 12, except the for exceptional game Lilo had last week.

Maybe trial some-one at Fullback to cover Izzy if he goes down.
