This from Fox, Ben either sick or injured. Wow thats an awesome bench we have.
Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie has rested tighthead prop Alexander on doctors' advice, and brought in the 125kg Kepu - who is understood to hold the bench-press record for the Waratahs.

Bugger ... No Nic White & George on bench. Brumbies still look too good. Great depth they have developed. Brumbies by 15. Would have gone 30 if they had White's kicking game out there.
Totally agree Ash with your halfback comment, Burgess should not get inside running on White or Phipps, White has been excellent for 2 seasons now & servicing the Brumbies backline well & kicking them out of trouble which has kept them in many games, Phipps less consistent, doesn't have White's...
Madflyhalf, given the love you have for Phipps tells us you must have a very close connection to him & not a real brumbies supporter because if you were you would appreciate the ability of Nic White, he looks strong & sure of his game, on what I've seen this year alone you couldn't go past him...
Brumby runner interestingly on ESPNSCRUM last weekend your 9,10 & 12 made 35 tackles compared to the Reds 9,10,12 = 15. Your no9 was 6th on the tackle count. Brumbies defence is obviously the responsibility of all. I wonder tho if that's going to effect their attack. This weekend should tell a...
reported today that Burgess is signing with the ARU so along with Phipps & Genia already signed seems theres no room for White. The ARU at there best again. White has been in awesome form last year & this but not seen by the ARU worth investing in. Resign Phipps & Burgess till 2015 ? WTF
Saia F & Simmons were a waste of space against the Brumbies, their whole purpose seemed to be disrupt & niggle, not play Rugby. Their team lost partly because of their lack of focus, Simmons laying all over players with no intention on moving & picking on a halfback isn't very tough. Although...
Nic White is the incumbent behind Genia & should stay that way as we have to prepare , Burgo was good as Genia back up but is now 28/29 with a great deal of experience so is great to back up a Genia/White combo
Like what youv'e put together Brumbieman, I can see Lealiifano in the 10 but with no International experience we can only hope he gets a bench spot he certainly deserves it on his 2012 season, he is miles ahead of Beale & Barnes at present. On recent performances White shouldn't have much...
No PinkRugby I don't think so. I believe Genia has no intention to go to Japan, his knee injury won't bring him back till late march early april that is if rehab goes well, he knows he'll have to sign the ARU contract well before that so it's definatley about the money. He'll be lucky to be...
I think it par for the course this year that apart from Genia the in form no 9 for 2012 was jerked around by Australian Rugby so now he's unavailable by way of shoulder surgery, Nic White was cruely toyed with so now we have Phipps & Sheehan. No Genia & no White ??
Have to agree with slim here, White challenged Genia for most of the season, he has an all around game which is great as a backup for Genia & the Wallabies, for his 1st Super season & under a injury cloud all year he's certainly putting himself up there. A new shoulder, 1yrs experience under his...
You're going to lose anyway if Genia gets injured. So why bother?
I don't think we rely on 1 player & how would we know anyway we don't play anyone else at 9 !
I felt passion & effort was there from the Wallabies but execution was lacking, Why ? who would know the answer but them. I believe these players are good enough but I don't think they do. They were not far off tonight & I think they scared an Island of Kiwi's, they need a huge injection of "I...
White I believe has played all season with the same injury according to Canberra Times, and was picked for the Wales series under the same cloud tho never was capped, played all season for the Brumbies & had a great 1st season, so why pick him in the 30 to train & I quote Deans from last wkends...
Come on all White V Genia really.... lets just hope for Aus Rugby that both these young men play well & both come out unscaved of any injury before the upcoming tests as I believe we'll need both of them
