Yes overall good to see Sunwolves play well as reality is makes much more sense for Japan to be in our conference given closer affinity we have with Japan than South Africa given we are part of Asia and timezone friendly nature of games played in Tokyo for us (underpinning Twiggy's ethos of Indo Pacific comp).

Hopefully they keep up that standard and push oz sides like they did against the brumbies as they certainly will be worth going to watch if they keep playing like that.

The Brumbies back line is actually pretty solid. I would definately have him on the bench and possibly rotating with banks or peni depending on form.

He is probably the fastest back the Brumbies have. Would be interesting to see. He was underplayed at the force. He is a serious future wallaby.

At the moment he’s behind Speight, Peni, and Taluauli in the pecking order........ and rightfully so.

I’m sure he’ll get an opportunity at some point, but the Brumbies also have Dargaville and Muirhead in the mix.

The Brumbies now have four wingers, Speight, Peni, Verity Am and Tauliali who I reckon are better than all the Waratah wingers (except Naiyaravoro, who is just so different that it makes comparisons very difficult). Its very tough on them because all four really should be in the 23 and someone has got to miss out. Congratulations to the Brumby recruiting guru - he has recruited the best props, the best backrow, and the best wing stocks in the country (though the Rebels wings are probably equal).

I think Rona and Newsome are a better pair from the Force than Peni and Verity-Am but each to their own.

The Rebels have all the starting Wallabies wingers bar Speight, who at this point must rank below Naivalu and Koro for the one specialist winger spot and below DHP for that 14/15 slot.
