i for one dont wanna see the wallabies flooded with newbies
good on mogg for having a great start to the season- let him have 2 more to the point where his record is demanding selection
how often does someone in their first s15 season get a run for the all blacks?
test rugby i think, is more about experience and not making mistakes
I wouldn't even go as far as to suggest that the Brumbies are an "in form" team. With all the hype surrounding the Brumbies, and the negative stories being written about the Reds and Tahs - most would be surprised to realise that only 3 points separates the 3 sides.To be fair, Jones has probably picked a decent representation of an "in form" team, although I don't quite agree with it...

The Brumbies have won 4 of 7 games with all 4 of their wins at home. 3 of the 4 wins were against the Rebels, Force and Cheetahs - so they're still yet to prove themselves against the recent finalists like the bulls, stormers, crusaders, sharks, reds, tahs etc. (notwithstanding that, they did beat the highlanders who are travelling well - so congrats there).
It seems to me that following last years performances / this years expectations, the Brumbies have surprised a few people while the Reds and Tahs are still looking to get back into gear. It's certainly no reason to make wholesale changes to the Wallabies and after 'the Samoa incident', I sure hope they don't.

I trust you caught the game Brumbes V Rebs? Anyway, since when was being selected by your province the only way to become a Wallaby?
i agree and i would apply that to everyone it frustrates me to no end that we throw lambs to lions in their first years while kiwi and saffa players generally have to perform for a few years before they get the call upWhy not apply that to everyone, then?
On that basis, Horne wouldn't have ever been capped, because he's only shown glimpses of talent in perhaps one or two games a season.
Why not reward the players who are having a great year, and are in form? That obviously doesn't mean we completely shit-can everyone, but someone like Horne should be no where near the squad this year.
