interesting omission of Afusipa?
any word on his status with the rebels?
I'd assume Chamberlain is gone?
I'm assuming Huxley is also gone. Interesting to see Hilgendorf still there. given they have Danny, James, Kurtley and Kingi who can cover 10. or is this them showing him off to UK clubs for a potential contract.
Those boys will be crushing a lot of cans over there that is one thing that is certain.

Interesting to see them play on the same team....
Johansson almost ripped off Mortlock's head!

Good move for the Rebels to get Johansson back from Italy. He originally from Melbourne and he certainly has potential. If I recall correctly, he scored a try on debut for the Wallabies and was pretty decent at Test level. Can play 10, 12 and has a very big foot. Hopefully he fulfils his potential at the Rebels.

Johannson was always on the brink of becoming a realy good player. I do remember his test debut (as rugby_man said), but after that he faded off the scene, not helped by the Reds struggles over those seasons.
I'm happy to see him back.

Lloyd was one of the best schoolboy players in recent memory. However as he was so big, he took shortcuts in his preparation that did not hold him back at that level - even dominating against the Kiwis schools team. However he failed to do the work off the pitch to make it at super level, and his game got found out badly. However if he can apply himself, he still has plenty of ability to become more than a handy super player and certainly a better option that some used this year by the rebels. One disadvantage is that he can only play 12, even though when he scored that try for the wallabies he was on the wing?? ha ha

Good post trank. He can play 10 at the club level so he might be handy if there are a couple of injuries in a game but he probably wouldn't start in a match there.
When I saw him for Oz Schools in 2003, I think, I thought that he had a big future though he looked like a league player playing the wrong code. Like some others like Josh Holmes, he was a schoolboy star that never really made it. Maybe that cruel reality of what might have been will bring him back on track belatedly.
There was another player in that 2003 team that also bullied opponents - a 6 or 8, but who looked a bit short for lineout work when he became a senior. He turned out OK though - TPN. Digby was also in the team and though I saw him play I can't remember how he performed, but he's done rather well too, hasn't he?

Was that Tatafu!!
I went out and watched the Test at Balleymore, and the 6 was incredible in the match and I always thought that it was Oli Avei from TSS, who went on to do not much. Leon Bott was also on the other wing, and a bloke by the name of Anton La Vin played a fearless match and has good judges rating him very highly. Shame. Dom Fuller and Matt Brandon were the halves in that side, but for some reason never got picked up by anyone. They have been dominating premier rugby in Brisbane since.

DO NOT GET ME STARTED! How those two haven't been picked up I'll never know.

Yeah - that was TPN alright. Oli was a year or two before that. TPN used to swap with Salvi at 6 and 8 in 2003 and they were also co-captains.
Since then Anton La Vin has been a very good club player in Sydney but never kicked on for a Super spot.
Larno
No - I didn't expect that you Ulster guys would ever cheer for the Blue Filth. Please post the teams if you get to know them beforehand. I dare say that Leinster will play their dirt-trackers and academy guys.
PS - is Pienaar back with you guys after the RWC, assuming he gets on the plane to NZ?
