Mowen says the right things and does the right things but for a number 8 the bloke just doesn't make the dominant hits you need. I mean, he's no mayflower but compare him to other starting 8s and you'll see what I mean.
His strengths are his workload and his lineout jumping, if he was in Europe there's no doubt in my mind he'd be an out-and-out opensider. Even by Aus standards he should be a 6.
Would somebody please move him to the flank and let Fotu start, with Mowen moving to 8 late in the game when Fotu's legs go.

Exactly, some blokes have the skill to alway gain ground in 1 on 1 collisions and it's obviously a good skill.
Fotu has the rare ability to gain ground in 2 on 1 collisions which is a massive asset now that union defences are often using 2 man leagueish tackles.

And the thing is, I'd say Quirk was the 2nd hardest hitter on the field.
I really think the if Palu is injured Fotu could be a valuable player in test rugby.

I don't think this'll unduly worry White and the Brumbies brains trust, they've got plenty of outside backs (as do both the Tahs and the Reds).
Yeah, nice to see one of the mungo heathens see the light. BTW, did I read somewhere Smith's time at the Ponies has come to an end?

Is that "light" spelled "$$$$$"?

tahs interested?
Apparently Henry 'Lazarus' Speight could even be right to play this week. The scan on his ribs didn't show any break or significant damage.

well thats sounds like good news about speight then...
only if there are a lot of injuries, and at best, it will be in November

Sad, but true. Dingo won't put him above Diggers, Shipperly, Cummins, Mitchell, Vuna or Tomane. Even though he's probably better than all but Digby.
he is a good finisher, but that isn't enough for first choice wobs
I expect the back three for the Lions to be
11 Digby
14 JOC (James O'Connor)
15 Beale

If you are right, we will lose. I wouldn't mind betting that none of those three make it for at least one of the Tests. Longish odds, but I have a feeling in my water.
