Edmed at 12 is interesting.

It's never going to happen. He has the same manager who leaks Tahs rumours for every league player who goes off-contract.

They'll probably play Hanigan and Holloway at lock. The Sydney Uni lock they signed also looks pretty good.

He wasn't big enough. A bunch of times he got outmuscled over the ruck. He's good for a pilfer, but we need more for a Wallabies 7. Until Charlie Gamble is eligible, I think Hooper should start every game.

Even though it's a preseason game for the Wild Knights, I'm surprised they're rustier than the Reds at this point.

I think Nawanqanitawase just barged his way into the spring tour.

Hanigan is having a good start.

I've been impressed by Pone, Gibbon, Gleeson and Nawanqanitawase, but nobody else has really made an argument for Wallabies selection. I haven't found this tour encouraging for Australian depth. And I think Banks will go right back into the squad and Campbell won't.

Or maybe not.

And again.

That glaring missed tackle from Campbell is not going to help his candidacy for the November tour.

I think Nawanqanitawase has been the most impressive this game, even with limited minutes.

I think this match has exposed there's some real depth problems in Australian rugby. Some players have shown Wallabies potential, but some have shown they aren't at this level.

Something the haters forget is that while Hanigan isn't very tall for a second rower/number 6, he has a great vertical leap and is a very effective lineout thief.

It is insane to me that an Australia A side is playing to a sellout crowd.

Am I the only one tired of the constant errors and brainless decisions made by our outside backs? When was the last time Petaia had a good game? When was the last time Wright made the right decision?

Some interesting Shute Shield names in the NSW development squad playing in Canberra in a couple of weeks. Sateki Latu (Warringah), Ben Houston (Randwick), Ratu Tuisese (Eastwood), Hunter Ward (Manly), Michael Icely (Eastwood), Jack McGregor (Gordon), Alex Pohla (Gordon), James Hendren...

Dare I say it - Donaldson or Edmed.

The NRC was really effective in sorting out who was going to pan out and who wasn't at a professional level. I remember Dangunu, Kellaway, Kerevi and Naivalu tearing it up. If only NSW rugby didn't try to whiteant it because they were stuck in the 1980s.

Tolu Latu signs for one year for less than six figures, says Fox Sports. Even for the trouble he is, that's a bargain and a major upgrade from Tom Horton.
