I thought your hammies were lower than your prostrate. Well mine are anyway. :)
 

Brumbies Guy

John Solomon (38)
THE Brumbies' fortunes look to be turning around at the perfect time, with news that Wallabies Stephen Moore, Ben Alexander and Pat McCabe might be right for their opening Super Rugby clash against the Western Force.

Just a week ago, the Brumbies were contemplating having to start the season minus any of their three capped players after Alexander and Moore were felled in the opening minutes of their trial against Queensland with shoulder and elbow concerns.
McCabe, meanwhile, was forecasting a return several weeks into the season, back from a shoulder injury suffered in last year's World Cup.
But a week out from the match against the Force, the Brumbies' injury clouds appear to have lifted.
Coach Jake White confirmed Moore and Alexander are expected to play, while a decision will be made on McCabe later next week. He returned to full contact training on Thursday, but has impressed enough to put his hand up for selection.

''McCabe's nearly there. It's just a choice as to whether he's mentally up for it,'' White said. ''If he feels good enough and feels like he can't let himself down - I know what type of guy he is and I have to be very sensitive because he will want to play even if he's not ready.''
White said McCabe's return could leave him with a pleasing headache in the backline, with Robbie Coleman doing good things at fullback in the Brumbies' final 66-0 trial victory over an ACT XV in Canberra on Thursday.

Winger Henry Speight is also due to get the call-up against the Force, allowing the Brumbies to start with a near full-strength outfit.
But new skipper Ben Mowen, who captained for the first time in the ACT trial, warned fans against expecting too much from their season-opener.
''We're not going to hit our straps in the first round - we just aren't,'' he said. ''We are going to be pushing and developing the whole year so, at the pointy end of the season, we're there.''

The Brumbies season kicks off on Friday at Canberra Stadium.
Meanwhile, a chat with Tim Horan has given former Wallabies flyer Peter Hynes renewed hope of returning from major knee surgery. But the recovering Queensland Reds winger admits he has no idea when he will be able to play again almost a year after breaking down.

''I have spoken to him. He gives you hope,'' Hynes said of Horan on Friday. ''His knee was absolutely ruined and he came back to win a World Cup and be the tournament's best player.

''I mean to sit down with him and talk to him more.''

No further word on Fainga'a yet...?

But I'd have to assume he won't be available for the opening round with Vaea/Hooper in favour...
 

Wallatahs

Allen Oxlade (6)
Do we know anything further on Vicks? I had a look in the Tahs thread but couldn't find anything...

A couple of weeks ago he was set to announce his retirement but since then, not much has been said. Is he still contemplating the choice, or just delaying the announcement?

Kankowski surgery hits Sharks
The Sharks will have to make do without Ryan Kankowski for the next four weeks of Super Rugby after the No.8 suffered a thumb injury.

The Springbok international underwent surgery on Wednesday, when a screw was inserted into the troublesome digit after a similar injury during last season.

Team doctor Ewoudt van der Linde predicted that Kankowski will return ahead of schedule, but will nevertheless have to sit out a sizable chunk of action.

"Ryan suffered the same injury as last year, so this is a case of re-injuring the same thumb" he said. "He went in to have a screw inserted this morning [Wednesday] and the prognosis is a return to play of between four and six weeks, although I believe it will be closer to four."

The Sharks are also waiting for injury updates on lock Willem Alberts and winger Odwa Ndungane, with both players facing late calls on their fitness prior to the weekend's meeting with the Stormers.

Already posted. Be nice if others would let me know who's injured, or who's recovered.
