A lot of people are suggesting that Sio will be the backup hooker - do we really want the bloke that's a fair chance to be the starting loosehead against the Poms spending his time at training learning how to be a hooker rather than practising his real job?

Maybe the seeming surplus of wingers points to having two very different gameplans that will be used on different opponents? Horne/Mitchell/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) when the plan is to keep it in tight, and Tomane & Speight when they're going to play fast and wide?

"Jones said they were also planning a new "quite different" jersey, which will be unveiled in December." "A new look and feel for next year – we'll launch a new jersey on December 1, which will be quite different to what people have seen before. People will be able to work out there's a new...

I wonder whether they were more interested in trying to get blokes used to the Brumbies 'system' in preparation for a possible step up to S15 rather than focusing on winning the NRC. Interesting whether that will be the case again this year. And of course there's the question of whether the...

Would any of our other wingers have had the speed to score the try he did against Argentina? Not saying that he should necessarily be in the squad, but his pace does differentiate him a bit from the other options available.

I'm not so sure - Croker seems to get caught out in defence a lot (moreso due to positioning, though he does miss a few tackles too) and has as a tendency to take the line on himself when he has support in better positions. My mind may be playing tricks but I have a vague recollection that the...

Which tends to reinforce the point that Beale isn't seen as a starting 12 doesn't it? If To'omua is out for the ABs game, I reckon Gits or Lilo will be in the 12 jersey.

I'm not so sure - if Beale was seriously being considered as a starting 12, wouldn't he have gone into 12 when To'omua was injured rather than Cooper?

Are we talking about Australia or Japan?

Hunger strike outside of Suncorp Stadium?

Lealiifano into the squad for Gits

Hasn't Pocock got long arms and short legs? It helps him get turnovers at the breakdown so might also work at the back of the scrum.

He didn't seem too bothered about Corbisiero boring in on most scrums in the 3rd Lions test

Fotu wasn't a foreign marquee player, he was Australian qualified (grew up in Campbelltown & played Aus Schoolboys according to Wiki). I seem to recall he was on the verge of getting a Wallabies call up a few years back before injuries struck. Ruaidhri Murphy was the Brumbies "marquee" player.

pretty certain I saw somewhere that FoxSports will be showing it

Easily fixed, Henry gets transferred to another club. I hear Vikings are dangerously understrength and could use some more quality players on their books ;)

There's a round of John I Dent games the week after the Super Rugby final which I assume could count for any possible suspension?

Unless you're Jake White, who played Vaea as a 7 (not particularly successfully though)

If the Brumbies were to beat the Stormers, wouldn't they play the Canes in the semi (as the Brumbies would be the lowest placed qualifier), with the Tahs playing the winner of the Highlanders v Chiefs?
