Ummm Reg there's a reason they call NSW 'the sunshine state'.

Wow... lucky they don't have daylight saving in Queensland otherwise Reg's milk would be even more sour this morning.

Not if you all finish work at 5pm

We all work on sun lounges at the beach mate so it would make no difference

Look I’m in Melbourne so I’m miserable regardless, if you want a laugh go look at the weekly forecast for what should be middle of Spring for Melbourne

 

[TSR]

there is nothing more elite than making up an arbitrary time (AEDT)

I dunno - expecting everyone else to change just because you have seems pretty Elite

Having 4 hookers seems excessive

 

[RugbyReg]

10 Brumbies
6 Reds
6 Rebels
6 Tahs
6 from Overseas
3 Force

 

[wamberal]

Having 4 hookers seems excessive

"Weird" would have been my description. Unless one of them is actually a full-back in disguise?

 

[kiap]

Having 4 hookers seems excessive

Rennie's search for a hooker continues.

 

[kiap]

Unless one of them is actually a full-back in disguise?

So, the team lands in europe … en reconnaissance pour la coupe du monde 2023.

And what d'ya know, they need a fullback for opposed training purposes + to mentor the boys.

Well, heellllloo, KB (Kurtley Beale).

Rodda smiling but not with his eyes makes me uncomfortable. Looks dead inside.

 

[Tah Man]

DR admitted that ironically the Japanese based players are yet to be confirmed eligible for the Japan test due to it falling outside the test window. Kerevi might be out anyway and not the end of the world for Korobiete who is a shoe in to come back into the starting side against Scotland. It would be a big blow for McMahon though in his bid to claim a starting spot

Possibly since he's lost a foot in height during that photoshop process?

 

[Dctarget]

Happy for Leota to go. Great depth of backrowers when you consider the missing 3 Reds, Naisarani, Hanigan etc.

Also very keen to see Perese get a start against Japan.

Assuming only Hodge means Petaia and Kellaway will be spending a lot training at 15.

Edit: Michael Atkinson on twitter saying Petaia will play fullback for the BaaBaas.
