Wk 4 Wallabies

[Gnostic]

As usual nobody to be picked in a position they didn't play in.

1. Henderson (Rebels)
2. Robinson (Rebels)
3. Palmer (Brumbies)
4. Wykes (Force)
5. Sharpe (Force)
6. Brown (Force)
7. Hodgeson (Force)
8. McCalman (Force) - close call to with Vaea and could have gone either way.
9. Sheehan (Force)
10. JOC (James O'Connor) (Force)
12. Huxley (Rebels) - almost missed out because of his late game dropsies
13. Mortlock (Rebels) - very happy to see that name there and well deserved.
11. Vuna (Rebels)
14. Mafi (Force)
15. Gerrard (Rebels)

16. Charles (Force)
17. Cowan (Force)
18. Byrne (Rebels)
19. Vaea (Brumbies)
20. Phipps (Rebels)
21. Cummins (Force)
22. Shepherd (Force)


Is anybody really surprised there are only two Brumbies players after that second half capitulation. Maybe they are Frenchmen in disguise.

 

[Moses]

Brown played 6, McCalman 8. Good picks though, and damn we look week wihtout the Tahs, and to a lesser part the Reds

 

[Gnostic]

Fixed thanks Moses. Force of habit I guess.

 

[Dumbledore]

Surely there was someone better than Huxley. There has to have been.

I'd put Coleman ahead of Huxley. Atleast Coleman attempted to defend.........and didnt overrun the passes so he didnt have to run into those big yarpies

Isn't Robinson a Kiwi?

Isn't Robinson a Kiwi?

You beat me to it. need a new hooker. Squeaky?

 

[Moses]

Other option is Fairbanks, who was pretty good. Huxley dropped the ball 4 times, and who knows, had he been subbed at 60 minutes the Rebels could well have won.

Robinson has played NZ under 21s, would he qualify in 2 years?

 

[MrTimms]

If it is only u21's then I am pretty sure he would. I thought he had some 7's as well (could be wrong) which would disqualify him.

 

[Shiggins]

No room for saffy? He was bloody great on the weekend but it's hard too break up the force backrow.


Go the force!!!!

 

[GC]

If Saffy keeps coming along at the rate he is, he's a real bolter for the Wobs. Would be few harder forwards in Oz rugby IMO. Just needs to keep refining his technique.

 

[fatprop]

Al Campbell did a load of good work against the Blues as well

I thought Fairbanks was better than the other two this week. Gee he's a gutsy little bugger and tackles like a much bigger man.

 

[Ruggo]

Palmer got an easy ride this week with only Dunning as the other option.

Fairbanks must get the twelve. Shephered vs Gerrard is a tough call but I think there is no right or wrong here.

 

[Proud Pig]

I would have Saffy, if he qualifies for a Wallaby I am not clear on this, at 6 this week as he was superb for the Rebels.

Disagree, Dunning was up against Woodcock and 5 other All Blacks in the Blues pack whilst coming back from a long injury. He did rather well, he is a much better THP than LHP.

 

[Slim 293]

I would have Saffy, if he qualifies for a Wallaby I am not clear on this, at 6 this week as he was superb for the Rebels.

I would also have Saffy.

His defence has been pretty inspirational.

He's also the leading the competition in tackles.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

He qualifies for the Wallabies. Been here since he was young. Certainly has slotted back into the game from his stint in League quite comfortably. Almost as if he never left.

 

[Ruggo]

I think you may of gotten the wrong idea and I probably didn't make myself clear enough. I did not mean it in a disrespectful manner to Dunning, only that there were two options to choose from. I agree with everything you have said there. I also think the Force scrummed well as a unit instead of eight individuals which often happens.

I was of the belief that he would be elligible to play for Oz.

Anybody able to confirm. He appears to be coming along very well in just a few games.
