Sounds like Tomane is out as well, niggle injury. Is it related to the injury he had last year?

Who's out for the trials BJ? White/McCabe only?

Surely it'd be more along the lines of McKibbin, Barnes, Turner, Horne, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell and Foley? Hart, Carter and Folau on the bench?

Good point, kinda forgot about that. So who fills his place? Matty To'omua to 10 and Lilo to 12? Robbie Coleman to 12? Or do they play Rathbone/Tevita/Smith in the centres as a replacement for McCabe?

It'll be interesting to see the 15 that gets on the field for that match.8. My guess.. 1. Benny A 2. Stephen M 3. Dan P 4. Sam C 5. Scotty F 6. Benny M 7. David P 8. Fotu A 9. Nic W 10. Christian L 11. Joe T 12. Pat Mc 13. Andrew S 14. Henry S 15. Jesse M 16. Siliva S 17. Rory M 18. Peter...

You've gotta be kidding me. Phipps for maybe the worst half back ever fielded in the history of the Wallabies?

How good is it to see those two out of a moon boot and into a brumbies jersey. Feb couldn't come any sooner!

I'd also argue that for what Burgo lacked in passing capability, he somewhat made up for in his running game and defense. With the exception of the assist in Cummins try against England, I haven't seen Phipps create anywhere near the opportunities Burgo did in the gold jersey. Whether that's...

McKibbin has been called up and is on his way to Cardiff.

Oh and for those that haven't seen: 1. Robinson 2. TPN 3. Alexander 4. Sita 5. Sharpe 6. Dennis 7. Hooper 8. Palu 9. Phipps 10. Beale 11. Badger 12. Taps 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Digby 15. Barnes Bench: Slipper, Moore, Kepu, Samo, Gill, Sheehan, Harris, Mitchell

Good changes with the exception of TPN and Phipps - There's way better guys on the bench. Closing your eyes and holding your hands over your ears won't make the pain go away early Sunday morning. I'm still scarred from the last time I was surrounded by poms screaming "Goooaaarrrnnnn Chrissy...

It's not just us that think he's not up to it - the kiwi's do too http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/the-wallabies-are-england-in-disguise-there-is-no-bigger-insult-than-that-20121114-29bb0.html

You're right, the only difference is that the modern day 12: Offloads When hitting the ball up and not attempting to offload, drives low in contact rather than keeping high body contact placing himself in a position to be held up or turned over in the tackle. I have no doubts about his...

So what changes do we see next week? Sheehan to 9? Dennis to the bench, with Samo to 6, Pocock to 8 and Hooper at 7? Palu and Gill/Dennis take their spots on the pine? Sita into the bench spot for Simmons that deservedly goes home? Barnes replacing Harris at 15? Digby back to 11 with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

* Nick Phipps - Take your red cordial and have a hissy fit all the way back to Colts where you belong. Appalling play and was so far out of his league it wasn't funny. Shetland Pony is a much better option, but you'd be fooled to think Robbie would ever use his bench effectively. *Dave...

On another note, how good was Honey Badger just after the Haka. Fired up or what. Just ready to go one two on the ball bags.

I doubt Morty had it from day 1 though. McCabe's only been in the job for 12 months or so and that includes playing 12 for the Brumbies. Before that he was Wing/Centre. He's shown glimpses that he's growing into the position in playing for the Brumbies and Wallabies this year, running good...

So, now that Speight's brumbies contract has swapped over to a standard (non-foreign development) contract, does that mean he could be selected for the wallabies? He was arguably the form Australian winger throughout super rugby, and would be a great backup to have on tour. Similarly I think...

Humorously it ended up being more claps than the Warratahs got from the SFS crowd in the whole season.

So it goes to say that I'm in no way the biggest wallaby fan, nor am I a frequent poster on GAGR. I definitely lurk around a bit and enjoy Bruce's humour, Lee Grant's wisdom and Slim desperately defending any Brumbies player present and for the most part past. In 2009, I could see the...
