How often do they fill the SFS? The current capacity seems ample from what I can see. Do you really want a ground that is 3/4 empty for 99% of games? And I wonder if having a smaller ground helps with membership sales. In a big ground you could be more confident of just buying a ticket on the...

If we must have another ex-Reds hooker I'd prefer Ready

In fact they've only won in Sydney twice, and only one of those was at the SFS (the 2002 semi).

The Brumbies' record in Sydney is dismal. The past has shown that no matter how well the Brumbies are going (or how poorly the Tahs are), a Brumbies win up there is unlikely.

Surely Siegfried Fisi’ihoi is a contender on the coolest name front?

Hang on, Crowded House were formed in Melbourne and 2 out of 3 members were Australian - how does that make them Kiwi?

Tim Gavel ‏@TimGavel 2m2 minutes ago Michael Jones gains temporary injunction against Brumbies board decision to stand him down . He says he is returning to work.

It seems Pulver's visit to Canberra today proceeded the board's decision to give Jones the flick, so I'm guessing not

Reports that Speight is out for up to 8 weeks. I guess that's his olympics hopes done too

I guess Manuka Oval might also be an option, it'd be suitable for night games. Though viewing for the spectators at the ground wouldn't be ideal due to the oval shape. The Brumbies did play a game there back in their first season, and the Kookaburras used it when they were in the Shute...

Seven Two isn't shown on Foxtel in regional areas, only in capital cities (except for Canberra)

Well, there's probably a chance you'll get crucified

Wells has joined the Brumbies touring party over in South Africa so they must think he's reasonably capable. Not sure about his other 15's experience but I think he played in some of the Brumbies pre-season matches?

From memory Andrew Smith played some games at 12 a few years ago (maybe when McCabe was injured?) and went alright. He wasn't a second playmaker but he ran straight & hard and defended well, so I reckon he should do OK at 12 if needed.

Brumbies bench: Sio, Mann-Rea, Makin, Smiler, Butler, Dowsett, Smith, Ah Wong

Brumbies: Ala'alatoa, Moore, Alexander, Carter, Arnold, Fardy, Pocock, Vaea, Cubelli, Lealiifano, Tomane, To'omua, Kuridrani, Speight, Toua

Just need to arm an assistant coach with one of these:

Seems he's on a 'flexible contract' and has signed up for a couple of seasons in Japan as well http://www.rugby.com.au/News/NewsArticle/tabid/1699/ArticleID/17317/Lealiifano-lines-up-new-Brumbies-contract.aspx

Maybe after all those head knocks Flatley was used to seeing double?

Don't think it's 1991, pretty certain I can see Nathan Sharpe and Toutai Kefu's signatures. And the fourth signature down on the left column looks like it says Mark Chisholm - who according to wiki was at the Reds in 2002 but didn't play a game. So I'm guessing it's from 2002
