I know Scarfy fancies himself at 13 - smashes it up like Tommy Carter but offloads sublimely.
I used to be a 10, 12 and even 11 and 14, with occasional appearance at 15. Always liked 12 the best.
NTA (he'll come back one day!) for 1 or 3 (he can play both sides he tells me). Fatprop the other.
Barbarian is rangy, so I see 4 or 5 against his name, but he might be a bit of a seagull-type lock!
Timmsy looks like a powerhouse 8 kind of guy.
Lee Grant for head coach.

 

[#1 Tah]

Might have a go for #22, but I look a bit like Quade in defence.

EDIT: Seems no one is interested in #11. Dont have the hairstyle for it, but I'll have a go

 

[Groucho]

My right ankle is currently in a moon boot after a nasty accident, and I'm (broadly speaking) a winger, so I'd like Drew Mitchell's wing spot please. I don't have an arse tattoo but that can be quickly remedied.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Lock/Flanker/Eight for me. Favoured position was openside, though the club I played at we did left/right, as opposed to open/blind.

 

[daz]

Interesting that no-one has offered themselves up as non-official social co-ordinator. In Oldies rugby, that position is usually first filled...

 

[matty_k]

I'll take the bench prop spot based on my u19s days.

 

[DPK]

15 and goalkicker please. On 90% for the year.

 

[#1 Tah]

You just jinxed yourself.

 

[dobduff11]

I don't mind filling in at 10, although DPK can keep the kicking tee 90% is pretty impressive.

 

[tigerland12]

I used to be a handy no.6 a year or two ago. Few rep sides couldn't hurt my case haha

 

[GC]

I believe there is no IRB law specifically stating that the water/runner can't consume alcohol during the match. I can verbal the opposition when I run on whilst relaying what I think the coach's instructions should be to the team.

Definitely water/runner.

 

[daz]

The empty 9 spot concerns me. Surely there has to be a flashy Hollywood type on these boards somewhere.

GC, the proud nation of G&GR is a bit like a third world country; you don't drink the water. Therefore the G&GR RU specifically prohibits the use of non-alcoholic beverages for the support staff (and any player feeling thirsty) during all matches.

Tap that keg, boyo....

 

[Sully]

Looks like all my spots are filled. 1,3,4,5

 

[tallboy]

I play 6 currently, but have played plenty of number 8 and lock(under duress) but as a junior member of the forum a bench spot at best would be my fate? May have to pay my dues as gear steward for a few campaigns.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Every good Aussie rugby team needs a couple of NZ born players.....

The empty 9 spot concerns me. Surely there has to be a flashy Hollywood type on these boards somewhere.....

I'll take that daz

 

[cyclopath]

Looks like all my spots are filled. 1,3,4,5

Can't leave you out - you're boring in at loosehead!!
NTA reckoned he could play anywhere, so he's at 2 now!!

 

[Nusadan]

Me at no 16, seeing as I have played all frontrow spots in my career...

 

[Reddy!]

I fancy myself as a cheeky winger who gets sin binned occasionally for trying to be harder at the tackle than I really am.

 

[drewprint]

The IRB really needs to look at punting these filler teams...
