Phipps ahead of White?

That would be a travesty...

I agree BUT Phibbs is a favourite of Dean's and as mentioned before, I think with all of the injuries and the new faces set to be named in the squad, he'll select people who have been there before until we can get a more consistant starting XV (O'Connor, Quade, Beale etc)

He's been playing at 1, not 3.
There is some argument that he has proven much less at 3 internationally than he has at 1 provincially.

Haha. Cryptic. I think he deserves the chance to start, as I do for Robinson. The only way that can happen is with BA at 3.

BA's scrummaging has been pretty solid for most of the year... both at 1 and when he's switched over to 3...

Together with his workrate I'd have him ahead of Slipper for a bench spot...

Selecting the Tahs props as the starting pair is bleeding obvious. The real question is Slipper v Alexander for the bench spot.

It also comes down to Slipper probably starting against Scotland, meaning Alexander will probably get the bench spot against Wales. It'll be the second Welsh test before we know the answer to this. Personally I see Slipper as a slightly better player than Alexander in most aspects of the game. Both very similar style of play. But when you look at it, Slipper is playing well at TH, Kepu will be the one who gets replaced, not Robinson so.....Slipper on the bench.

Haha. I know what you mean, but unlike NSW, QLD, ACT and WA - They are the Melbourne Rebels. Not the Victorian Rebels.

Well they are not the ACT Brumbies (haven't for some time), nor the WA Force.

Either call them by their provincial/state or "franchise" names.

Slipper was much more damaging with the ball in hand last night and they equalled each other at the scrum. Slipper also has in his favour being a starting TH all year.

That might matter to somebody who of selects on form with some degree of sanity. However I fully expect to see Ma'afu make the squad again.

They are the Western Force (that's short for Western Australia, genius). The Brumbies represent ACT regardless of who their naming rights sponsor is so they are the ACT Brumbies. The QLD Reds and the NSW Waratahs (self explanatory I would have thought or ouwld you like an explanation on that too). Melbourne Rebels only represent Melbourne - not Victoria as they're not the Victorian Rebels. How would you like me to abbreviate the Melbourne Rebels, legend? As VIC?

Now, get back to the rugby and save us from your petty commentary on how you would prefer us to write. Sorry it upset you so much.

Actually, the Brumbies represent the ACT and Southern NSW...

So if we're going to use location abbrevations we should use ACTSNSW...

Unfortunately I do too, which is a real shame! He is lazy and we have far better options nowadays.

I always expected Ma'afu's name... but McCalman?!

What's even scarier that he'll probably get selected in the game day 22...

Sam Carter is unlucky to miss out... particularly as Douglas made the squad... and Neville only after a few games...
