As PaarlBok has already pointed out, Micalak is to play at 9... below is a bit more about the selections for the Sharks line-up

Yep.

At this stage of the year 2012 is still a possibility

When Grant gets back is obviously dependent on when his Japanese commitments finish. Coetzee has said that in the worst case scenario Grant won't be back until round 3, and best case scenario his commitments could finish up before the season starts.

Anyone willing to put their body on the line for the sky blue jersey like Berrick does is NSW enough for me

The article from the west said: I know that it was a less than orderly process concerning substitutions and the like, but can anyone give some guidance as to what this second half side was? It sounds like it had White at No. 9, To'omua at No. 10 and Lealiifano at No. 12... and if Hand started...

I'm happy to see JP du Plessis getting another go at 13. He looked the goods last week.

I can only wonder why the Rebels coaching staff never thought so highly of him. He's undoubtedly an athlete. Maybe they (and us) never saw whatever Fleck sees purely because of the lack of game time he got. Regardless, I wish him all the best back in SA.

Sam Wykes will captain the Force in the absence of David Pocock and Nathan Sharpe. http://planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3824_7473472,00.html

Moono74 was correct. Rapana is out for the season. I feel bad for Rapana, but I also feel a sense of relief. After seeing the headline, and knowing the Force's history with marquee signings, I thought it was going to be Nalaga

A 'like' wasn't sufficient. I understand the economics behind not moving regular season games any further west than the occasional Homebush 'blockbuster', however, if we can't spread the gospel by playing a few trials in western Sydney how do we expect the game to grow there?

There's been a fair bit of talk about how great Meyer is at rebuilding teams. I hope this is not an indication that he is instead going to rely on the same old brigade PDV did by bringing them all back from overseas. SA has plenty of young talent to pick from. At least the comments at the...

Those South Africans sure do produce alot of big, athletic, second rowers...

It's a circular argument... how would you identify the 'talented' kids you say should play together? Selection ala NGS (which you have a problem with) or perhaps we could get every 'talented' kid to play every other 'talented' kid to determine who in fact is 'talented' enough to play in your...

One comp is a logistical impossibility when you're talking about school boys. Either the comp is ridiculously long so that every rugby playing school can play one another (denying many talented school boy athletes to try their hand at other sports... or academia)... or you have only a few rugby...

Interesting that the Stormers were able to score three tries against the Lions. The Lions showed throughout the Currie Cup that their defence was of a high standard, while many on this site have lamented that while the Stormers defence was impressive they lacked the cutting edge to really...

What it actually says is Sounds like there is still quite a bit of work to do before any option is chosen, but my two cents says SAs SANZAR partners will not be wanting a sixth team each, nor will they want uneven pools... I think the SARU has jumped the gun here (nothing out of the...

Unfortunately it doesn't change the general conservatism that has already been identified in the squad's selection

The Irish squads have been tweaked.

Good to see. This is the very reason for Super Rugby expansion (TV rights aside)... the development of the game in Victoria. Very, very happy to see it wasn't all just rhetoric from the private equity types (I was admittedly sceptical) Well done Rebels and VRU
