perhaps a little bit of hyperbole in some of the descriptions TOCC,but nevertheless he is a character & a great promoter of the code-and a bloody good player!

Heh... I'm surprised you don't have Rod Davies up there as well!
Let's see Hunt play one Super Rugby match before you start the coronation ceremony, OK? He didn't exactly light up the Heineken Cup, did he? I recall him doing OK, but certainly not "crushing" anything.

1. Cowan 2. Charles 3. Faulkner 4. Coleman 5. Wykes 6. Cottrell 7. Hodgson 8. McCalman 9. Mathewson 10. Ebersohn 11. Cummins 12. Godwin
13. Rasolea 14. Nikoro 15. Morohan
16. Tessman 17. Heiberg 18. Hoskins 19. Mafi 20. Alcock 21. Prior 22. Holmes 23. Brache

Pretty much it but DHP would be in front of Nikoro.

Nikoro on the bench or would Brache keep the spot?

Depends on form I guess Brache prob gives you abit more flexibility being able to play at centre and in the back 3.

Speight had a poor EOYT. At international level he is not ahead of Cummins.
JOC (James O'Connor) is a wing to compliment Cummins not compete with him. They play different positions.
Folau is a fullback. He can play wing but the two aren't competing for a spot.
Mitchell and Ioane don't play in Australia and are unlikely to do so again.
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) I will give you.
Cummins is way ahead of Tomane.

Reckon Van Wyk will be the reserve LHP and Hoskins the reserve THP. Not much depth there. But that is true across Aussie rugby. Adam Coleman at TH Lock. Also reckon horses for courses between Mafi and Cottrell. Mafi would most likely be on the bench as a lock when not starting once he is fit. I reckon he could make more impact than most of our other locks. Definitely DHP at 15- Morahan was pretty average there until he ended up getting replaced by Jayden Hayward.

Stander over Alcock if their form is about equal. Carries harder, or as hard as Alcock can for his size, and was destructive at the breakdowns this year.
But he will probably start at 6, and Cottrell at 8 when the season starts anyway, with Wallabies like McCalman rested and all.

Hodgo had a little boy yesterday and named him Buddy, if that's news?

A true professional - did the deed at the right time of the year so that the kid is born during the off-season, unlike these blokes that have to dash off on the eve of a game to attend a birth

I am surprised no one is including mafi in there starting XV let alone the 23.
Am I the only one who rates him?

I think Steve Mafi is a good addition and actually think its a real shame that he has been capped for Tonga, with Higgers leaving he might have had a chance to play for the Wallabies in the future.
