Paullie looks better and better every game I see him in.
I don't think he's quite ready for Wallaby Duty, and not for the world cup, but a cap or two on the November tour to set him up for the next cycle wouldn't be a bad idea. He's got two RWCs in him at the prop peak age (27 in '19 and 31 in '23, so there's no need to rush, but he's a keeper.

There's more upside in having him in the Wallabies EPS over Ryan, that's for sure.

I think he was already injured that's why he was on the bench.

Basically because I only said it half heartedly, didn't realise he was thinking about it. Not sure I was that worried about it, as I don't really think Woodward is that great, too many brainfarts for my taste, though it may suit him in with the Canes!! I think Proctor has more going for him at 15 for Canes, but he may fill in on wing to give Woodward a run!!

The Smiths are the Brumby back up props and they are very poor scrummagers. Until Ala'alatoa and ? progress the Brumbies will be very very vulnerable to starter props being injured. Mind you, Ala'alatoa would be available in three weeks time, but would he step up to Super level at tight head?
Alexander's injury is a worry. Neck nerve compression does not sound like a short term injury, but if it hasn't recovered in three weeks the match against the Tahs could get very ugly. And if it does recur you'd think that Alexander is in serious doubt for the Bledisloe and RC matches. So, does Link insist that Alexander have Super time off to be ready for the RC putting the Brumbies in danger of missing the play-offs or does he risk having Alexander unavailable for the RC? Glad I'm not making that call, someone's going to be seriously pissed off.

In my view, Link has more options at THP than the Brumbies have. So I don't think he should intervene. On the local scene, I think JP Predaud plays TH.

Well, I said the boys were cooked after the Tahs game and I saw nothing on the weekend in Canberra to make me think I called it incorrectly.
I cannot see any prospect of another win before the season closes up shop.
2014 will likely end with a hugely disappointing whimper. It's more upsetting because we know what they are capable of, and I know the lads are hugely frustrated with how the season has panned out.

Good to see that Fugi is not too badly injured. I cannot believe that McGahan left him on when he could barely walk. It took about 10 minutes to replace him. Same as Highlanders game - did the shoulder in the first half but played all game. I was pleased to see Jordy get a run on Saturday.

Mowen had the same issue/injury last year didn't he? It seemed to impact on his form in the EOYT tests but he played them all from memory.

I don't think you're suggesting Alexander should play on with his injury, but in case you are I expect it is a different kettle of fish a prop packing in a scrum with a bad neck to a No 8.
