    Brumbies 2025

    Super signing. With Kautai gone and Alatini injured, Brums were looking bare at tighthead behind AAA & RVN.

    Brumbies 2025

    Think it's Lington Ieli. Quality 122kg Aus U20s prospect at Loose Head. No need to go external there. If Kautai is out, and Alatini injured, will definatly need more tight head cover. Could do worse than Tom Ross if on the market.

    Australia A - Back on the Cards

    Who do we want to see for Aus A this tour? Probably needs to balance next best XV with developing potential future Wallabies, who may still be a bit green. I would like to see: 1. Schoupp / Hoopert 2. Pollard / Vailanu 3. De Lutiss / Amone 4. Canham / Blythe 5. Amotosero / Swain 6. Hooper /...

    Western Force 2025

    + Pasitoa if ever gets fit. Seems to be viewed as a 12.

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    So, seeing squad named today would expect the XV vs NZ to look like: Uys Grenfell Hill / Langi Ross / Thompson Fonua Langi / Cleverly Robinson Lemoto / Talialeva Grover / Blank Fowler / Mackay Conway Takai / Fittler Goldsborough Makasini Bassingthwaite

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    There's 8 or so from GPS schools and most of them were rugby scholarship players and objectively pretty handy.

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    Mot Goddard, although liked the look of his scrummaging last year and saw he has been named for NSW 19s. Think it was Uys, who has ended up in the 26 for NZ.

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    Watch the first game. The Aus U18s team (which had most of the lads picked for NZ today) were dominant. Not perfect, but looked pretty good to me.

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    - Heinz Lomoto looked class at 8 - Bassingthwaite looked good at 15 - Fittler got isolated a couple of times but was bending the line. - Makasini looked a handful on the sting - Liked the look og Rylands and Robinson in the backrow - Fonua and Thompson looked solid in the row. - Hill looked...

    Waratahs 2025

    2 tighthead spots still available on the roster by my count. Shame to miss seeing whether Archer could kick on. Keen to see who McKellar has up his sleeve.

    Waratahs 2025

    Dont forget Leafi Talataina who has been getting around Sydney in Tahs gear. Great carrier & lineout option. Is young but I reckon he'll be in the starting 15 by end of next year.

    Waratahs 2025

    Probably depends who starts at #4 but will probably be Lee-Warner or Ben Grant to call the lineout.

    Wallabies 2024

    Sould 100% atleast be picking - Skelton > Blythe - Sio > Kailea - Swinton > Leota - Samu > Tizzano The pack for this weekend should be: 1. Slipper / Bell 2. Faessler / BPA 3. Ala'alatoa / Tupou 4. Salakaia-Loto 5. Skelton / Amotosero 6. Swinton 7. Samu 8. Valetini / Wilson No scrum, no chance.

    Waratahs 2025

    Still hopeful for (and frankly expecting something similar to): 1. Bell / Kailea / HTS 2. Porecki / Heaven / Dobbins 3. Tupou / Talakai / Holz 4. Lee-Warner / Daly 5. Amotosero / Sinclair 6. Leota / Di Staso 7. Gamble / Wilkin 8. Gleeson / Talataina 9. Gordon / Wilson 10. Edmed / Bowen 11...

    Wallabies v Wales Game 2 Sat 13 July Melbourne

    Re. Hunter... and Flook Our C/D zone strategy on the weekend was to box, and our A zone MO was route 1 (same for Wales). So, dont think Joe will read much into quiet games for the centres. Will get more involved over time as our attack develops.

    Wallabies 2024

    Happy with Wright as skipper & 6. Balances a Valetini & McReight backrow well. Familiarity with Faessler hopefully helpful for lineout. Will be interesting to see whether Schmidt goes with Hooper, Williams or Cale for backrow bench cover. Personally unconvinced Cale is physical enough to start...

    Waratahs 2025

    Would be an absolute coup to get Wisey as headbcoach, Cheika as GM/DoR. Hope those roumers are true. + Tupou / Leota / Talataina / Maiva and a starting quality lock thanks.

    Wallabies 2024

    Some interesting squad calls, but no absolute shockers. Overriding sense of excitment to just watch the lads rip in. The 23 for for Test 1 should be: 1. Slipper / Hodgeman 2. Faessler / Pollard 3. Ala'alatoa / Tupou 4. Frost 5. Salakaia-Loto / Hooper 6. Wright 7. McReight 8. Valetini / Wilson 9...

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Are you talking about the News Corpse club rugby puff pieces? That's not RA or Phil's view - just News showing they could be an ally (at the right price) without blatantly promoting a competitor's product. Just wait until RA re-sign with Stan, their standard deathriding procedure will resume!

    Source? I havnt heard that. He's talked about a national club competition, but in the context of a 'third tier' rather than as replacment for super.
