Mumm may not be able to play for Waratahs in the Finals but I'm tipping that we will see him with Sydney University. They need him. They had about 4 Colts 1 Players playing in their last First Grade match.

I think the Tahs by 2 and Gill to be man of the match.

Why wouldn't he? He needs to play if he wants to make the RWC squad.
It's almost an exact mirror of Vickerman's 2011 season. He went on to be the starting lock in the RWC. Not that Mumm is as good as Vickerman but he could make it.

Having not though about the Mumm qualification point that bench makes sense.
In terms of carrying 6/2 or 5/3 forwards/backs split what do you think is influencing Chieka?
I am not entirely sure why McCutcheon keeps getting a run (was good to see Dempsey get the weekends game). I try not to be bias in making judgement calls but wouldn't it make more sense to have someone like Dempsey who can play 6/7 over Cutch who can only really play 7 at this level?
McKibbin/Betham to finish the bench off. If Chieka really wanted to use Volavola throughout this season it wouldn't have been that hard to make him the third back selection on the bench. Horne may come back into the side in that position though in a few weeks.

Depends how the Reds approach the match.
Do they throw the ball around and try to finsh the season in style? Of do they do whatever it takes to win?
Foley has delivered the blueprint on how to beat the Waratahs, but that style of game won't bring 68 points.
(And in general terms, Foley ball is not good for Australian rugby)
I'd like to think the Waratahs will win this, but no doubt the Reds will lift and I expect any win to be hard fought.

do you really think that one good game at the arse end of the season (or should that be the end of an arse season for the reds) is really going to see horwill or genia into the squad?

If Cheika is 50/50 about them, then it probably will.

If Cheika is 50/50 about them,he hasn't watched enough of their games.
If form is the only criteria,neither have played well enough to considered this year.

How many Reds games have you watched ILTW?
Form is never the only criteria though.
I certainly see Horwill's performance relative to Dennis' as being important. Both of them are in the mix for the last lock spot.

That was in reference to him playing for Sydney Uni from this weekend given he is unlikely to be used by the Tahs this week with Skelton returning and not being available for the finals.

Reds forwver - I just couldn't barrack for the Tahs. Too much history for me.
I'd even support the friggin Brumbies over the Tahs and I hate them as well.
The ONLY time I could possibly support Tahs would be in the Final against a NZ or Saffa team

Maybe. Maybe not. The same thing can happen if you put in someone else's tooth.I think you put your tooth in backwards.
