No need to hold your breath Tom. Meredith very clearly answered your concerns about him against Hong Kong China tonight. Recommend you read the posts about the game on this thread and the game blog on the Brumbies website. None of the No 10s playing elsewhere in Aus has ever shown the game...

Austin Anderson made an excellent fist of fullback in tonights game in HK. I think he's well and truly in the mix for that spot until Tom Wright returns. Others who impressed against HK were : Hookers, Chris Mickelson and Lipina Ata both had really strong games. Both hookers nailed their...

Final score 31 - 63. Solid second half from the Brumbies. Meredith with a try and 9 from 9 off the tee in a dominant display.

Hong Kong China playing with a lot of intent and flair. Correct me if I'm wrong but is this the team that has qualified for the RWC?

Rugby.com now has Pietsch in 14 in place of Toole. Anyone know if this is so and why?

Stephen Larkham quoted in today's Canberra Times implying Edmed will be the number one No 10 next year with Meredith his backup or playing 15. This stinks if it transpires as Declan is a better No 10, loyal and experienced in the Brumbies ways. Admittedly, there is not a lot separating the No...

A question worth asking. He was MOTM against England last game of the U20s this year. Absolutely killed it in attack breaking the line and setting up Dre Pakaho and outside backs while turning over and winning at least 6 to 8 possessions in defence. English commentators were absolutely in...

Six changes to the "best" XXIII put out against England. Hate to say it but it's looking like Joe has fallen for the same false sense of superiority that led to Rennie's demise. Don't mind Faessler starting with Pollard on the bench. Not a lot of difference in quality there. AAA missing out...

Chase/Chace (I've seen it both ways) has a bit of a Handre Pollard look about his physique. Not too dissimilar in the kicking department also.

Ha ha. I've got a lot of respect for O'Donnell. Think he could have been (or could be) first centre picked for Tahs down the track even with JAS now listed there. But you're right. Brumbs are light on for centres with experience.

Kye Oates has a bit of zip about him, but another player a bit on the short/light side. Listed as 180cm and 90kg. Apparently had a strong season this year in JID Cup. Really looking forward to his brother Chase getting opportunities in near future. Could be the most talented No 10 coming...

So, in the washup, Tane Edmed the sole recruit. The rest of the holes in the roster filled mainly by youngsters out of the Academy. When all are fit, the starting side is still strong, but injuries will see a lot of untried and inexperienced players making the game day squads. Middle of the...

I'm not sure the strategy worked at all Dru. Sure we had a narrow win against Japan but the expectation was that with our top side on the park we'd also be a good chance of toppling England. That didn't pan out of course. The Wallabies put in one of their poorest performances in a couple of...

J I can't see it panning out that way Hawko. So many top players restedf from the Japan match and mostly they seemed to run out of gas well before the end of the England match. Three games in three weekends is not too much to ask of top rugby players.
