Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but this little nugget was buried in a Georgina Robinson article from last night: "Meanwhile, speculation persists that Force coach Michael Foley could be drafted in as current coach Richard Graham's replacement under John Connolly in 2016, despite the...

If Lilo was kicking them from all over the field (rather than missing shots from dead in front) maybe it would have made Moore's decisions easier?

I think Mogg might have been acting under instructions, the previous week against the Highlanders he ran the ball a lot more. Either that or the pressure of the occasion got to him.

My memory might be wrong but didn't he have a MotM game against the Argies in Perth a couple of years back when it was p*ssing down with rain? Though it mostly consisted of kicking the cover off the ball (which was the right thing for the conditions)?

The Canberra Times have Sio & Alexander listed in their regular spots, so I'm guessing there's no switch http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/brumbies-shift-henry-speight-as-part-of-big-changes-for-cheetahs-20150402-1mdcb2.html

Is it just an error by the Brumbies media unit, or have Alexander and Sio swapped sides of the scrum? If it is correct, maybe a request from Cheika?

If that were true, which I doubt, it would have more to do with the fact he's had 2 knee reconstructions in 2 years, not what he says and does off the pitch

And Tomane had 103 metres off 8 runs. So for both blokes their defensive issues in a way pretty much cancelled out their good work on attack

Shame Andrew Smith isn't on the books any more. I'm guessing Dargaville will get first crack at outside centre, though I'd prefer Ah Wong if he's fit. Surely they're not seriously considering moving Speight?

I'm guessing Beale is your wing cover? I'd leave out either Lealiifano or Beale, and bring in AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) or Horne - better coverage for wing & outside centre.

Why bother having the 2 year rule at all then?

So which Rebels fan is going to take a banner saying "White Line Fever" to his first game back?

The Telegraph also mentioned that the Brumbies deal with Bruce Stadium is up for renegotiation, so I suspect this is all just a bargaining ploy to get a better deal.

If the Stadium Australia mob were willing to hand over truckloads of cash then I can see an upside for the Brumbies. If a game was to be moved, I reckon it'd be against someone like the Blues. Getting say 20K people through the gate (15K JAFAs plus some diehard Brums fans and bored...

The Telegraph is running with a story that the Brumbies may be looking to shift some home games to Homebush http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/rugby/act-brumbies-consider-taking-home-games-to-anz-stadium-after-waratahs-snub/story-fni2fxyf-1227226080907 If it was a game against the likes...

Or maybe they can just check if George Smith is free this week :)

So do they just do a straight swap of Doyle for Pocock, or move Butler to 7 and start Vaea (or Fotu if fit) at 8? I reckon bringing in Doyle might be the go, less disruptive and I'm not sure Vaea is up to a full game yet

Robbie Coleman may be in doubt with a hip injury, but Mogg reckons he'll be fit to play if Coleman is ruled out http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/jesse-mogg-says-his-shoulder-can-handle-the-pressure-as-he-aims-for-brumbies-return-20150215-13f6ym.html

Guess there's all those spare ones that have been removed from people's heads :)

Wasn't Rory Arnold playing in South Africa just a couple of years ago? If there was one thing I thought South Africa wasn't short of it was big lummoxes, so they shouldn't need to import any. Soft. Grow your own. Shameless. #lostrespect
