Reds v Tahs Trial

[RugbyReg]

Anyone planning on heading to Lismore for this trial?

There's every chance that I will be there.

Who's media accreditation do I have to steal? Juan's or Moses?

 

[Sully]

I think there are free tickets with your reds membership. I will probably head on down. what date is it?

 

[RugbyReg]

23rd. 4pm kick off (Mexican time)

 

[Juan Cote]

Nodds, if you're going I'll tell Reidy and you can have my accreditation. Shouldn't be a problem as the Reds need all the mates they can get - the reason why I got accred in the first place!!!

 

[RugbyReg]

cool, I'll be going with my family, but if I have to be dragged away to fullfill my media obligations THAN HURRY UP AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!

:lmao: the duties of a G&GR corespondent must not be taken lightly

what do we reckon for a lineup, i think Quade will be rested as will most of the wallabies, will be the first chance to see Lei Tomiki and Chambers in action, it will also be the first game in almost exactly 12months for Turinui. Backline is going to be the interesting one.

15. Toua?
14. Chambers
13. Turinui
12. Fainga'a
11. Morahan
10. Lucas
9. Kingi

 

[tranquility]

apparently tomiki is struggling at training, but i still have high hopes for a good season from him..

 

[chief]

TOCC I couldn't agree with that backline more. Obviously not the best team, but for the trial they need to sort out a second string replacements for injury

 

[Sully]

They mentioned on a rugby podcast that Link does that he was hammering them at training!

 

[Juan Cote]

Noddy - might be some horse trading for accreditation as it appears as thought we have to go thru the Tahs. Not to worry, will email you the details in due course

I aint the coach but I would be playing Turinui and Toua off the bench given their long lay offs. Also, from a backs perspective, what about Connor and Davies, and even Lance?

In the forwards I hope to see Shaw, Schaatz, Slipper and Anae get a run.

 

[RugbyReg]

lets face it, every fit non-Wallaby will play. I'd expect even a fair few of the Academy to play, even the current schoolboys.

 

[chief]

I'd reckon Quirk will be making an appearance.

 

[MrTimms]

I will be there, but working. I usually have spare time on my hands though.

 

[fatprop]

It will be interesting to see who the Tahs run out, Waugh, Baxter, Frieir, Fitzpatrick etc are all "non- Current Wallabies" and will make for a solid 2nds pack

And Tom Carter lining up against Morgs will be worth the price of admission on it's own.

Assuming the that no tourists play, the Tahs could roll out

15 Adam D'arcy
14 Nemani Nadolo
13 Rob Horne
12 Berrick Barnes
11 Sosene Anesi
10 Daniel Halangahu
9 Josh Holmes
8 Ben Mowen
7 Phil Waugh (C)
6 Ben Coridas
5 Will Caldwell
4 Chris Thomson
3 Alastair Baxter
2 Adam Freier
1 Jeremy Tilse


16 Damien Fitzpatrick
17 Dan Palmer
18 Hendrik Roodt
19 Chris Alcock
20 Brendan Mckibbin
21 Rory Sidey
22 Tom Carter

 

[spectator]

That's more than a fair side. Will Barnes be ready?

 

[Juan Cote]

Nup. racing to make the first game

 

[TOCC]

in a Ewen McKenzie interview in Inside Rugby, Daniel Braid approached Ewen after there pre-season development camp and told him that it was the hardest training his ever done.

Im excited about the idea of having a fit team, hopefully the forward pack just comes through ripped

 

[Sully]

So 2 sources for the hard training. That's great. Hardest training ever that's a big statement coming from him.
