As a NH/SH player, does anyone know why Rocky isn't named on the team? Injured or maybe had enough of poxy NH weather and gone home for some sunshine? He played a great 8 against the AB's last year.

Maybe instead Aplon, Ndungane, Jacobs, Strauss, Mvovo, Lambie, Hougaard with Jantjies and McLeod on the bench.

Bring Jantjies on at the half, and move Lambie to 12 or 15. And Aplon to Twin's wing at the same time if Lambie goes to 15.

Looks like a fair decent Baabaas team. Anyone know of it is being televised in Aus? Fox sports?

As Hodgy has pointed out - no. We're not. We've the ML this weekend, and then the HEC back-to-backs the weekend after. We don't want our guys playing this. Frankly, you can do a bit better than lazy made-up trolls.

I did a search on my iPhone Foxtel app and it looks like it isn't on any of their channels :( Bloody Craptel

Kirschner out injured , Andries Strauss flied in, so you can expect to see Lampie in 15, Jantjies in 10, Strauss in 12. Strauss is a oustanding defender , so a good call.

The BaaBaas look good. A strong pack with some very attacking backs. Giteau and Nonu will be setting up Mitchell and Rococoko all day.

I think part of Rocky's contract is he is no longer a NH/SH player.

Why do they fly in another prop with Beast already on the bench?

Why not centre cover?

It isn't a pack of superstars but they are fine. I was just saying the forwards should hold their own while the backs will run riot.

We'll see. The Baabaas rely on individual skills as opposed to structure. It all depends how well our guys defend the 10/12/13 channels. I am more worried about that than out wide.
