Any news on when Hanigan is back?

Reported as either this week or next. Still being monitored

Thanks. We need him back. He's much maligned at test level but very good at Super Rugby

 

[wamberal]

Hanigan is a whole-hearted player, gives everything he has got, every week.

[KOB1987]

This game will either be 3-3 with neither team able to do anything with possession or be one of those 53-48 type games where the defence on both sides goes missing.

Forecast for kick off Friday night, 26 degrees with 70% chance of rain (Thunder Storms) and 75% humidity. Why does this winter sport start so early in the year?

 

[Braveheart81]

Why does this winter sport start so early in the year?

Because the overall season runs for more than 9 months.

On the showing of both teams defence I suspect tries might not be the issue.

I don’t know if I want to watch this game. Once you’ve seen it you can never unsee it!

Maddocks looks to be getting a wing spot.
Harrison to remain at 10
Bell may start.

Couldn't find the bit where Bell might start?

Maddocks has come off the bench in both matches but is expected to earn his first start of the year and show the Rebels what they are missing out on. Reserve prop Angus Bell could also earn his first start.​
