Sounds like Daley had a good game - may be now be kept because there is not too many 1-3 over there and if one of Benns or Slipper injured only have Maafu to cover - that would be scary

Ma'food is quite underrated now. He has improved steadily since the debacles of June and was the best player on the pitch today.

Only heard game on Radio - suppose was thinking about covering both sides but Ben A and Slipper can do the LHP and THP and Maafu the TH - agree that McF has improved greatly since June

Groucho I agree that we think so little of Ma'afu that he's underrated now, but Daley was better. And you could see the halfback Ma'afu had for breakfast when he packed down.

Daley's the only bloke who may have removed his head from the chopping block. I was really disappointed in Simmons' effort, I had hoped for more from him. Humphries yelled lots but didn't do a heck of a lot when he came on. Mumm's workrate was up both at lock and 6 but effectiveness sub-par. I'd be tempted to make them pick straws then beat the loser to death with the floppy end of a snowcone.

Davies, S Fainga' a/Edmonds, Hynes, McCabe, McCutch, Phipps, the snowcone challenge loser, and you may as well send Morahan and Higgers cause unless someone dies they should not get in the team.

How rated was the Munster scrum though? I know the Irish scrum is widely considered the weakest of the 6N scrums by a distance.

There was no other available scrum to beat.

People talk up Gethin Jenkins, and all he does is smash the Wallabies.

Daley
Van
McCabe
McCutcheon
Brown

Higgenbotham, Hodgson, Davies and Phipps will have to fight for it.

"The end of this tour's midweek fixtures means five members of the 37-man squad will return home - Saia Fainga'a, Van Humphries, Luke Morahan, Rod Davies and Peter Hynes."

From the link above...

well that's good for the Reds pre-season I guess...

And conceivably for Finger, Van, Morahan, Davies and Hynes. I'm not sure that I want Morahan in particular learning to play whats in front of him just yet. He has a future playing rugby as an outside back.

valid point.

We need to get these young impressionable players (and Van) back into a positive environment and away from that success vacuum that is the Wallabies.

They'd never played together. Ever. Borlase isn't a week off the plane, from memory. Think we'd four caps in the entire pack - and one of them was a Springbok one...
