[RoffsChoice]

EPS spots to be announced tomorrow

Any tips on who we should expect?
I'm thinking Prop, Lock, Openside, Scrumhalf, Inside Centre

EPS spots to be announced tomorrow

Can you confirm that this is the 30 man squad (NB there are a couple of guesses in there)?

Forwards - Sio, Alexander, Murphy, R.Smith, Siliva, Mann-Rea, Moore, Carter, Fardy, Power, Oosthuizen, Mowen, Pocock, Auela, Smiler, Butler, McCaffrey

Backs - White, Swanepoel, To'omua, Lealifiano, Coleman, McCabe, A.Smith, Tomane, Kuridrani, Speight, Rathbone, Mogg, van der Walt

 

[RoffsChoice]

No Vaea in that list? I'm pretty sure he's still contracted.

 

[Slim 293]

Lilo may need surgery at the end of the year which could put him in doubt for round one.........

Also..........

The Brumbies will unveil their extended player squad recruits at pre-season training on Thursday.​

​

Prop JP Smith and outside-back Stefan van der Walt will fill two of the spots up for grabs, with coaches-in-waiting Larkham and Fisher finalising the last three.​

Contract is irrelevant if he's medically unable to play.........

The promotion of Smiler, plus the signings of both Butler and McCaffrey might indicate that Vaea isn't going to be involved in 2014.........

Could you guys sign Gitts back please? He's looking Wallaby quality and god knows we need a veteran for the World Cup in 2015.

Just a thought.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Sure, we'll just put him in the backline. Oh wait, up and coming Wallabies everywhere.

Don't think we have the Firepower to do so

Entirely happy with how the Brumbies have been going post MG.

 

[en_force_er]

The Chiefs don't seem to mind having more starting XV players than needed and they're going pretty swell.

 

[Brumby Jack]

EPS:

Lachlan McCaffrey - Backrow -(Ex-Force)
Michael Dowsett - Scrum half - (Norths-Sydney)
Stephan van der Walt - Wing
Jean-Pierre Smith - Prop
Allan Ala'alatoa Prop (Aus U20's)

Can't find this guy on the SARU database...

Are you sure Mark Swanepoel is still in the squad? He has disappeared from the website Team page.
