It would seem to be the best option as their remaining games are mostly at home, with away games against the Reds, and then the Crusaders towards the end.

Ok mate, I was a bit confused, and now it occurs to me that Aus have it different to kiwi teams, over here it's not so much number fo games, but no more than 5 in a row.

Can anyone tell me something about Leatigaga and Icely, I'm not from Sydney and they're names I don't know.
I am assuming from this team that Hooper, Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) and Porecki (although he did come off last week with an eye injury) are being rested as Wallabies. Not sure why Faulkner or Hanigan aren't there, unlikely to be Wallabies, possibly carrying injuries?
I'm also assuming that Holtz, Sinclair, Gleeson and Edmed are still not fit?
I really want to see Latu, Wilson and Bowen get at least 20 minutes game time, I really want to see where they're up to. Latu has so much ability, Wilson looked really good in his cameo last week, and Bowen has been killing it in Shute Shield, I'd like to see how he goes exposed to the big boys.

Porecki and Hanigan are both recovering from concussions.
Hooper, Foketi and Nawaqanitawase are being rested under Wallabies protocols.
Holz is available for club rugby.

Icely was injury cover the past 2 seasons at the rebels. Did an okay job off the bench.

I always quite liked Icely. He's definitely super quality.

I know you're having a bit of a banter, but we are only Wallaby-resting three players and we've copped an absolute pizzling on here for not resting them earlier. The rest of the regulars missing are either suspended or injured.
Vailanu is in for Porecki (injured or concussion), Von Appen is in for Hanigan (concussion), Seu stays in the backrow for he "whose name cannot be mentioned", Walton has played very well off the bench for two years and has not been a liabilty ever, Harry Wilson has played well off the bench this year and deserves a chance. Leatigaga and Botha will hopefully get less than ten minutes and only because I think Faulkner is injured, Icely Is reputed to be good and we have run out of locks, as a Red supporter you know what that's like. Tuipulotu was probably the form centre before Perese returned and didn't really deserve to be dropped and Bowen is talked about as another Jorgensen, albeit in a different position. Teddy Wilson looks like something really special. Best of all, GAMBLE IS BACK and can come on early if Ward is getting pummelled.
I hope the Blues turn off and take us too easily, but they might live to regret it.
We have got some real depth this year, albeit with not much experience, and next year will be an absolute logjam of talent. IMO the World Cup is coming two years too early, but there are always the Lions.
One for the pedants (you know who you are): Can you use "a banter" as a verb-noun, or is this illegal?

Please, I am trying to learn English from this website, this is only going to serve to confuse me even further.

Looks like the white flag is up for the Tahs Blues by 40

The game should last 40 minutes, 2 halfs of 20. That's enough for Blues and us

This resting policy is a real drag. Was looking forward to seeing if the Tahs were turning things around, now I don't know if I'll even bother watching. Same with the Brumbies Crusaders game where an great match up was reduced to a farce because of resting. Not a good look for the game

It would have been nice to see if the Tahs could build on last weeks performance against stronger opponents…. Resting policy says no…..
