He is ahead of Creighton. Watching training at Ballymore, he looks to be one of the quickest there and he was fastest in the 40 metres sprints about 2 weeks ago. Actually on that point, we have quite a bit of speed around now. I think COVID bubble stuff would be really crap for some of the...

JOC (James O'Connor) is 30. If or when he leaves he won't be returning to a Wallaby jersey. If he was super impressive at 10 and we had no backups, maybe he could make a case, lack of loyalty aside, I don't see him being able to return to Australia and expect a wallaby jersey or even a reds jersey.

That makes the most sense, they seem very focused on getting him quickly. Solution rapide...

Yes, Frenchie here. As said above, no need to panic, but I wouldn't be surprised if 2021 is his last year based on how keen they seem.

I don't base my opinion of Jordy solely on his Wallaby performance. It's just my opinion that from what I have seen of him at 13 and on the wing at both super and national level, maybe his talents are best shown on the wing. I agree that Thorn should pay little attention to positions that...

OK, I said Jordy might be a good 15, but maybe we should consider wing? Some guys just don't have the rugby IQ. Nobody can deny his talent, but I think most of us agree his running game is what got us all interested in the first place. If that is what he does best, maybe he should focus on that...

According to the refs, there is plenty wrong with them, and we must discuss during the game always.

I feel like the more I have seen Petaia play, the more he might be better as a winger, sticking to a simpler game.

Far out I am so bloody sick of these slow downs with scrums and the pathetic penalties.

Those tackle attempts by Koroibete and Paisami were disappointing

I'd like to hear which young players coming through the system have peaked his attention.

If you have Hunter at 12, you need a genuine play maker somewhere else, so maybe at 15 as Roberts Rugby suggests. At this stage in his career, I think JOC (James O'Connor) would be a great 12, but you would struggle to find another 10 to start from game 1. When I watch JOC (James O'Connor), I wonder if he would play his best...

Now that you have mentioned Vunivalu, who I completely forgot about somehow, I would love to see Jordy at 15 and Vunivalu on the wing. I think Jordy could be a quality fullback, and Hunter is a natural 13, who I believe plays his best rugby there. Jock wouldn't make my 15. Hegarty wouldn't make...

For game one, I'd like to see this 15, but I am pretty sure we will see lots of rotation and a couple of debuts at some point. Not sure if Jordy would ever go to fullback but I am not a big fan of a 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 12. Paisami 13. Jordy combination. Not enough good ball distribution and kicking game...

I didn't realise it was on Fraser. Timed it well between the fires :/ Think that is Henry far left in the bucket hat in the picture with that whale.

I think Carter's development was very well done, and he was able to prove himself against men for 2 QPR seasons, which is how I think all these young blokes should be managed. As I said I am not sure of the type of contract that Tom Lynagh has been offered, so if the plan is to have him play a...

My arbitrary age is based on the fact that these boys are still growing both mentally and physically, and I can name numerous players who have been repeatedly injured or made stupid decisions after being thrown into the deep end. He definitely won't be playing at 17, but my point is that if he...

BK, Pasitoa and Noah were all there way before Henry so they probably had more time with coaches etc. I think he would have had to blow them all away significantly at training to get a shot, and training isn't exactly the place to prove your game ability.

I actually don't know if he is, but like you I have heard some talk about him being here. It was more of a joke, but I do rate the kid, and I know he is up around 93kgs. A season training with the Brumbies can't have hurt him, and he has a brain on top of his shoulders.
