Brumbies: Rathbone and that is all
Reds: Slipper (c) and that is all

On that basis I'm backing the Brumby (with a bonus point).

But on that basis, as there are no Brumbies forwards, they won't get any ball. But if they should, then there is no way they'll be stopped

Foxsports have given us an early contender for worst rugby article of the year with there match previews.

Featuring these gems:

"Who’s going to win? Christ, I dunno. Have you read nothing? Toss a coin, buddy-roo. Or go with The Value."

"Expect plenty of pick-and-drive rugger as these three – and Pocock’s replacement Chris "Even I haven’t heard of me" Alcock - cart it up in the middle channels"

"Elsewhere, the Force are extremely beatable. Their tight-five are tough and tattooed, with a scary, bouncer look about them. But they are without pedigree, sporting only the lightest dusting of Wallabies gold. You probably haven’t heard of Phoenix Battye. Not exactly David Beckham, is he?"

Its full of sensationalism and while amusing on face value it does show an extreme lack of knowledge at a closer look.

Mainly his criticism for the force and the statment .......beale makes the "odd" mistake

touche, i will allow it..........however i count his numerous pointless chips mistakes but hopefully that disease was cured with the end of 2012 for both Beale's, Cooper's and the wallabies sake

No Luke Morahan in the squad?
Injury or others selected before him?​

He is also playing for the Reds College tonight against the National Academy so it's not injury.

I see Nigel Ah Wong is named in the Reds squad and as playing for the Reds College tonight. That may tell us who will be the player to drop out of the Reds squad or could just be a double up.

Also interesting to see Ed O'Donoghue selected on the bench ahead of Blake Enever. Enever is listed as playing for the Reds College tonight. Ed was in the Reds College as an uncontracted player but if Enever has moved into the full squad to replace McDulling, then it may be that Ed has been moved into an EPS slot as I understood that under the RPUA agreement an uncontracted player could not be selected ahead of a contracted player.
