I see the Rebels are taking 3 of their u20s on tour to SA. Tuipuloto, Haangana and Uelese. This would mean none of them available for the first and second games at least. https://melbournerebels.com/2017/04/17/smith-named-for-south-africa-tour/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You do need someone with a boot at 15, Ngamanu doesn't have a good boot but his speed and agility out wide on the wing would be well served. Madocks would be the best bet at fullback, he did well there last year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We really shouldn't moan about not being prepared or not spending months together pre JWC when we quite happily are looking to drop players into the World Cup arriving in Georgia via Paris (sevens) not even knowing your team mates names. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed, he is a hard player and has had little or no regard for his body at times and to his own detriment he has had a few injuries whilst playing at 13. Being a little smaller I think he is better suited at wing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I doubt the Sevens boys will be released for the Oceania nor the JWC. Perese has been training and playing on the wing and really well I might add, why put him at 13. I think he is a good winger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a good question HB, I'm not really a forwards fundie but my backline would be: 9 - Nucifora/ Goddard 10 - Stewart 11 - Perese 12 - Tuipuloto 13 - Riley 14 - Ngamanu 15 - Madocks (he is currently injured not sure if he will be ready) otherwise Nick Jooste. Sent from my iPhone using...

Haven't heard much from Hugh Jarse in the 20's thread this season, normally he has some great input. Like to hear your thoughts on how the boys look for this years JWC Hugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hunter was not called up to the camp, so he may not be on the selectors radar and I can't remember him having any impact, in fact the #22 that came off the bench for the Rebels looked quick and troubled a few defenders, he was on the wing however but would have been good in the midfield. Sent...

Wish they would announce the team so that we can see what we are dealing with or can see what type of game plan he has in mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If they didn't play him over Ezra for NSW, I doubt they'd give him a go in Aus 20s. Besides there was too much of playing people out of position last year I hope they learned their lesson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jaffer had 2 games on the wing what happened to him for the rest?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who you suggesting he picks at 12 & 13? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lots of confidence on a side that hasn't been named yet but I'm with you in general it looks good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I know but they always pull that card and regret it later. The Sevens boys will be in Paris when the u20s leave around the 22 May for Georgia so I don't think there will be many dropping down. The Super Rugby boys are touch and go who comes down or misses a game or two as the JWC will mostly be in...

I heard there is a 30 man squad picked for the Oceania games which does not include those players on Super Rugby/sevens duties or those players who may be injured that are worthy of a spot. A 28 man team will be picked after the conclusion of the Oceania Championships for the JWC. Sent from my iPhone...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I know letters have gone out to the players that have made the 30 man squad for Oceania and the guys that have missed out have been called but they have not published the squad yet. Maybe we can change the thread name to include the Oceania games? Changed - Editors

Any news on Aus team list for Oceania Championships? Or is there a different thread for that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two guys that the Reds are paying and they have hardly taken to the field in 2 years?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep depends if he has a thinker or a runner on his inside, he could be very dangerous when put into space at speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I say don't try and play them at their own game, play it smart. A bit of running passing rugby against the PI's would work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
