Feel for Foley and the wallabies as we have such lack of.depth in quality 10's. All the Foley haters might finally realise this and see what a big loss Foley will be if this turns into a long term thing. Big loss to waratahs as clearly missed him.

So far this year the best Australian flyhalf on show has been Jono Lance. Unless Cooper comes good, I see Foley/Lance at 10 this year as Cooper has not been sooper. That's why Foley's recovery is absolutely critical.

What's worse is that there are NO talented young 10's on the horizon and two of our franchises have recruited NZ youngsters to start this year because of Australia's lack of talent. To illustrate my point only MacIntyre is getting the bench 10 spot and his talent is invisible to everyone except Reds' coaches. After that there are only U-20's.

We may well have to do a Larkham and start training up DHP for the future. He, at least has got some talent. The more thought I give this the more advantages appear. He would be our first 10 with a reasonably long kick since forever.

NZ? Every franchise has two better 10's than we have, except the Blues.

DHP is no spring chicken, although he does have many tools of the trade.

On a longer term option maybe Jake Gordon could shift one out. The tahs are Bogarting all the young Aussie halfs, maybe they could convert their runningest one.

No rain at the SFS, in fact the skies were breaking up as I drove down from the Blue Mountains. Patches of clear sky here at Moore Park. Ground looks firm, best I've seen it for some time.

The cripple fight to the Aus conference might be epic. Brumbies look like the short price at the moment. Tahs will lock in 4th. My gut feeling.

Scrappy half from both sides. Tahs need to hold the ball, their kicking's been woeful. Brumbies defensive rucks very good resuilting in a few penalties.

Pulver and co really need a shoe up the arse, as I live in the sixth largest city in Australia and can easily get feeds of the NRL, the AFL, and the A-League, but I struggle to get anything 'live' when it comes to Super Rugby!!

Yes I agree we need to convert someone younger and never thought of Gordon but maybe worthy of more thought....
