Best game of super rugby I've seen in ages. Not many penalties, scrum wasn't too much of a mess and great attacking displays from both sides. Waratahs for the most part nailed the rush defence and that put huge pressure on the canes forcing errors across the park. Grey has made good progress...

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with Lilo - I know he's only coming back from injury but maybe McCabe was a better starting option, especially with Nico kicking so well at the moment. A few other players really struggled to get up, with the likes of Mogg, Alexander, Sio and Fardy having pretty...

Fards running team chat at the end of the game, wonder if he's a dark horse for captain next year? Would love that. In the last two years, Fardy has been my fav Australian player. Just a straight shooter, plays with his heart on his sleeve.

This. And the fans. Massive blow. I'm shattered. All respect has gone.

When you see him play you notice the gap between our current generation and the enigma that is George Smith. They've each got their own strengths (Gill with pilfers, Hooper with open play and Pocock for on the ball) but none of them have the all rounded game he has. Once in a lifetime player.

Mogg played himself back into contention tonight. Geez could Speight become available any sooner or what? Someone get that man a 14 jersey.

This.

Yes! How good is George Smith? He won that game for the brumbies...hands down.

You fucking beauties!

I'll give the 10 man cull a go: Nick Phipps, Dave Dennis, Ben McCalman, Mike Harris, Anthony Faainga, Jake Schatz, Peter Betham, Chris Feauai-Sautia, Rob Simmons, Bernard Foley 23 Man Squad: 1. Robbo 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Fardy 5. Horwill 6. MMM 7. Hooper 8. Mowen 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11...

This was Brumbies circa 2010, just clusterfuck after clusterfuck. I don't know how they could look each other in the eye after this performance. Seriously, you would've thought they'd learnt after the blues last year. Apparently not.

Really? Lilo goes down - JOC (James O'Connor) to 12, Mogg to 15 and Beale to 10. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) goes down - JOC (James O'Connor)/Tomane to 13, Mogg to 15 and Beale to 10. Both go down - JOC (James O'Connor) to 11, Tomane to 13, Hooper/Smith to 12, Beale to 10 and Mogg to 15. 3 go down - JOC (James O'Connor) to 11, Beale to 10, Smith to 13, Hooper to 12, Mogg to 15...

Smith played 12 OS, even in the French final if I remember right? I'd use him somewhere if need be. Anything but Phipps, am I right guys? Seriously it's like we're running a 6:1 bench.

Fuck GAGR is going to go into a mess if this is true. In all seriousness though, McCalman? I could maybe understand if we were scraping the bottom of the barrel for injuries but at my count we have Mowen, Hooper, Smith, Palu, Kimlin, Madness, Gill and even Dennis who are in much better form...

So true. It's like the info you want to know but don't actually want to know. Maybe Jauzy should start all posts with an apology in bearing bad news? Whoever is advising Kuridrani management wise is a fool. Seriously this guy was making in roads and had a pretty solid path into the Wallabies...

Bench should be: 16. Saia 17. Kepu 18. Slipper 19. MMM (Please not Simmons) 20. Smith 21. Phipps 22. Horne 23. Mogg Backline should be: 9. Genia 10. O'Connor 11. Tomane 12. Lilo 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Folau 15. Beale Forward Pack unchanged.

After tonight's win I'd love to see: 1. Robbo 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Horwill 5. Pyle 6. MMM 7. Hooper 8. Mowen 9. Genia 10. To'omua 11. Folau 12. O'Connor 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Speight 15. Mogg 16. Hanson 17. Sio 18. Ryan 19. Fardy 20. Gill 21. White 22. Lealifano 23. Beale With Palu, Higgers, Cummins...

Any word on McCabe or Andrew Smith? The Brumbies played well with them as the centre pairing last year, albeit with Lilo at 10. Given the way To'omua is playing, I don't think they'd lose much. I'd have Prior, Coleman and Tevita on the bench, or alternatively Rathbone with Tevita moving to a...

Struck me as a game where the Brumbies really missed Fardy. Was disappointed with the forwards that were completely out muscled, with Smith, Sio and Mowen the only real standouts. For those that watched the rugby club on Thrusday night, Justin Marshall was right...the Crusaders were going to...

So based on that squad, anyone want to draw up a possible 23 for the first test?
