Kurtley Beale will be the 10 that Schmidt will pick and he alone will bring back the Bledisloe, lead the wallabies to victory against the Lions and in 2027 at the age of 38 bring back Bill. It is inevitable.

That was last year. I am on record of saying I was not a fan of Tizzano playing test rugby last year, however he looks as though he has bulked up and is playing some of the best super rugby I have seen him play. I am a huge fan now and think he has closed the gap significantly between him and...

Ah, I love it! Honestly though there is some tough competition this year for Wallaby spots particularly for spots which the reds have had a mortgage over for a little while. I do expect Harry Wilson to keep his position being Captain of the Wallabies and I have been a huge fan of his for a...

For me Gleeson, Teddy Wilson, Leota and Jorgo were all huge. I also liked what Reilly and Kellaway brought to the table. At the beginning I thought Toole was going to play all over Reilly. I was wrong.

Never is Noah's best game.

Well this ain't going to age well!

Are you suggesting the Brumbies mascot is actually a deer?

Thoughts on Miles Amatosero. In the first game I think he continued his good form from last year. Would really like him to do well and stick around in Aus rugby for the Tah's sake and the Wallabies should he get a crack at that level. Potentially he could be a weapon.

For those wondering about who should be the ten for 25. Yes, it is one game and Brumbies/Reds are yet to play, but have a look at the last play in the Force game against Moana Pasifika. Donaldson did something that none of the other current fly halves very rarely do in Australian Rugby. He ran...

Don't think you can ever go past the Dunning field goal. That is the stuff of legends.

Donno, has a huge boot on him. He has also been prone to a few errors. Noah has of late as well such as his failed start kicks to go the required meters. Donno is getting better at cutting the mistakes from his game. I am still not sure either are the long-term answer. I don't think Lynagh is...

Yes, it was me that originally brought a shift of moving Jorgenson to fly half at super level. I was also referring to him in my post above about the Larkham moment. Funny I got laughed at when I first mentioned this. However, I don't see any of the people we have at present including Donaldson...

Reasons I think Donaldson deserves a shot. He has a far bigger kick than Noah, he is able to spark the backline more than Noah putting people through gaps, he has deceptive pace and can make a break (take the line on) better than Noah, my opinion he is a better defender than Noah. About the only...

He is unlucky my friend because all he has had in actual game time this tour is about 5 minutes each game right at the end. Hard to show case your skills in 5 minutes. He did nothing wrong in those 5 minutes either. Noah has been falling off tackles has had so many opportunities and is still the...

Donaldson at the moment has to be the unluckiest man in Australian Rugby. I am OK with Edmed on the bench but would have preferred Donaldson to start.

Would have loved Isaac Lucas to have stayed in Aus Rugby. He probably is the player we have sorely missed at fly half.

Yes, as you know I have always thought Donaldson has had a higher ceiling than Noah. Noah seems a great team man but definitely not Test standard. In saying that I am not sure Donaldson is the long-term answer either however he deserves a go. I would definitely start him against Ireland.

That cross field kick from McDermott was atrocious. I keep saying it Noah is a great block no doubt but not a test fly half. Gleeson the only one doing good things at the moment.

There would be no argument if Leota was fit as he would be the six in the 15. However, as a Tahs man I really am enjoying the banter between Reds and Brumbies fans. For what it is worth I think Uru is a more dynamic player than Hooper. I also think Tom Hooper has been over hyped.

Recon Kane Douglas was one of our best. At his prime a pure workhorse.
