    It's been another long hiatus from G&GR for me, nevertheless it's great to return and see the heated debate the JBok v. JWallaby game has generated!

    Ditto! I remember looking out for him when he came over with the NZ Schools team. At the time there were big wraps on him! Admittedly I thought he was ok but I wasn't at the point where I was going to 'write home' about him! Then last year's ITM Cup came and went and my opinion had totally...

    Alex Mafi was also missing from the Qld squad due to injury. Does anyone have an update on his status? I thought he'd be a shoe in for a spot. With that said my largest applause would go to Folau Fainga'a on his selection. As @Hugh Jarse can testify I have been mentioning this lad for a few...

    I'm not putting tickets on myself (well actually I am) but I picked Mr Korczyk as my 'first choice'! Look at the size of those feet! He could have been a champion swimmer as well I bet!
