Surprising that the Brumbies are trying to bring Andrew Smith back. I would've thought that they were well stocked with Nigel Ah Wong there as backup to Kuridrani - and they could always bring in a rookie.

So with the reporting of Lausii Taliauli signing for 2016, Pocock close, Cubelli a likely signing, and Andrew Smith the other name in the mix, the backs roster must be close to full. I think the signing of Tui Kamikamica for the Canberra Vikings may be the next steps to replacing Foto who I hear sadly is still struggling with fitness / injury.

So it now all about the forwards, particularly the props. We have depth a hooker, but our prop stocks I am no sure about.

Any idea who will be the kicking options? Hernry?

I rated Smith highly it was just unfortunate that Kuridrani was slightly better, he'd be number 3 outside centre in Aus behind only AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Kuridrani - and only just.

Where is he playing now and hows his form?

Went to Munster, and normally was in and around the 15 and the 23. But Munster chose not to renew his contract, so I dunno how his objective form was.

Larkham said the Brumbies have also made an offer to former outside back Andrew Smith, with negotiations still taking place.

Real disappointment for Fotu - he was so destructive when he got on the park. A player who could really cause a lot of damage if he could stay fit.

But then again, Vaea is the future and he just got better and better last year.

Hasn't Smith lined up to play Whiteball in france for Montpellier?

http://www.montpellier-rugby.com/#composition

He played there today in a game that also featured Moggy, Ben Lucas, Mowen, Sita Timani.

I think Smith is in France on one of the 'joker' contracts which are short term cover for World Cup player absences - Lachie Turner from the Reds and Mitch Inman from the Rebels are on the same sort of thing with another French club. That would mean after the WC time he'd be available to come back to Australia.

20th Anniversary

The ACT Brumbies were formed in 1996 as the third Australian team for the Super 12 Competition.

2016 marks the 20th Anniversary of their formation. Any plans to celebrate this milestone?

Not only was this an important date for the Ponies, but also Australian Rugby because suddenly there was top level rugby opportunities for spectators and players outside Sydney and Brisbane.

I'd have gone with Jim Williams at No. 8 and maybe Jeremy Paul at hooker, but a pretty decent side nonetheless.
