Brisbane Global Rugby Tens

[I like to watch]

Folau the only current Wallaby named. I'm guessing he'll spend more time signing autographs than playing.

Tuqiri at 37 is pretty young for a wildcard player. 4 years younger than Latham. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

It will be interesting!
I saw him late last year, he has clearly be enjoying his retirement.
I hope he is fit enough to show us some glimpse of the glory days.

As far as I can work out his last rep cap was 2013 so three years.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes this year, perhaps in a winding down period of his career, but the bloke was scintilating at his best.

He is playing in the Classic Wallabies team at the Sydney 7s, so that should be a good indication of how much game time he will get the following week.

Ben Barba has just signed with Toulon for the rest of their season.

Wonder if it's too late to draft him into their Tens squad.

article I read says he will be going over this week, if that is the case I doubt theyd fly him half way around the world that many times in the space of two weeks. hopefully they just keep him here till the tournament

 

[Lee Grant]

I thought Pat McCutchen had retired as well

Yeah - but is in good nick. Is nominally Head Coach of the NSW Gen Blues U20s but by his own admission is learning from the assistant coaches.

Gets to run around a lot.

Heineken Hill was listed as allocation exhausted last week. Now it seems you are able to buy tickets for it again.

Has anyone bought some already? Is the area general admission or assigned seats?

If it is general admission they may have switched on and reallocated some seats into that category.

That's a strong squad.

 

[Scrubber2050]

All teams seem to have strong squads

Jeez the squads are big - seems like 26 players

I think the major players will be making cameo appearances only as the real 15 man game (trial for the Reds anyway) starts on the Tuesday following.

Don't know what the interchange rules are but I suspect in the heat there will be a truckload

8 substitutes per match with unlimited interchanges is what is listed on the website.

Thanks BH

 

[fatprop]

So Ben Volavola hasn't been resigned by the saders? (he is in the Rebels squad)

 

[Jagman]

I wonder who the Force Wildcard will be: Nathan Sharpe, Cameron Shepherd, Ryan Cross or... the Honey badger himself perhaps.

no he's been signed by the Rebels.

 

[fatprop]

no he's been signed by the Rebels.

as their "International"? meh ...................

 

[TOCC]

as their "International"? meh .......

Rebels and Force have more then one spot for "international" players....

 

[Ignoto]

I wonder who the Force Wildcard will be: Nathan Sharpe

I guess all those F-45 classes may have kept Sharpie fitter than the likes of Latham and Bernie, but its a tall order for the big rig to play in the Forwards!

 

[Scrubber2050]

Hopefully the games will be played in the spirit of rugby.

Wouldn't surprise me if there were a few square ups on the older blokes but I have doubts those blokes will be in the thick of it anyway/

we shall see.
