That's a fair point, and it's easier to look like a good player when you're outside the best halves (or at least flyhalf) in the country and behind the best pack. The only way to be sure is to see how they perform at international level, which he didn't do enough of to provide a viable sample.

Yeah agreed. After watching him trudge around for the Reds early this season I thought he was done, but he was excellent against the Pumas. Exactly the kind of player you at least want on the bench.

Sounds like you enjoy misrepresenting strangers' views online. Simone was a very good Super 12 player who is largely untested at international level. He is, however, a specialist 12, with play-making skills, who was good enough to get picked for the Wallabies. If we had him now, we'd have one...

Very unfortunate indeed. He's a rare 'Nonu' type, in that he can spend the whole game playing high impact rugby, trucking it up and wrecking fluffybunnys, but then he'll throw a glorious cut-out pass or peel off a 50/22. It took him most of his Brumbies career to find his feet, but in that last season...

I realise this may be interpreted as the impotent whinge that it definitely is, but it bothered me that the ground announcer only bothered to introduce the player names of the home team, and only announced the Reds' substitutions. Didn't even bother at least calling out the player numbers when...

At best. The larger stand on the eastern side wasn't open. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more like 1200.

Good fun watching the Brumbies vs Reds at Ballymore just now. It'll be good experience for the youngsters, if only in that they now know what to expect when being refereed by Nick Berry in Brisbane. Early signs of what might play into decisions for next season: - Creighton very strong at 13...

Just got back (had to drop some mates home afterwards). My first ever game at Ballymore, thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of really entertaining tries, including one for each side off short kicks and regathers. Update on flyhalf-watch: McLaughlin-Phillips looked good before going off. Meredith...

Both lineouts were dreadful. It's not like anyone was picking them off, there were just four hookers out there who couldn't hit a cow on the arse with a banjo.

The outright quality of those players is not the subject of discussion though. You commented that "this is probably Australia's best team". For that to be true, you must be arguing that Edmed is better than Lolesio and Lynagh, Williams is better than Frost, Toole is better than Pietsch, and that...

Really?? That felt like a pretty second string team to me. Wright, Potter/Pietsch, Ikitau, Lolesio, Lynagh, Gordon, Frost, Ala'alatoa, Faessler all sitting out.

Yeah and no trigger warning. I nearly lost my lunch.

What a thicko :rolleyes:

That'll be called back for sure.

No it wasn't. Clock kept running for 25 seconds after the call.
