So, what's the consensus on 12. Ant 13. Taps 11. CFS?

I get that Taps has had 2 good games in a row at 13 now but I still can't help but feel we would get a lot more mileage out of 12. Taps 13. Ant

Vely tlicky - I still think CFS should play 13. That's his position,he's big and breaks through/around tackles.
But Confucious say, 'three players into two positions only possible in Karma Sutra', which is what would happen if CSF plays 13 :confused:

7. Butler
8. Mowen
9. White
10. To'omua
11. Coleman
12. McCabe
13. Kuridrani
14. Tomane

In attack I think the Taps at 13 lineup is better. In defense I would have Ant at 13.

I was starting to feel more confident. Don't worry, seeing the Brumbies side has quelled any optimism.

Here's to a fast game, lots of tries, precision and physicality. May the best side win.

Moggy's hammy ok? Personally, I thought Whetton might start with Tom on the bench in his first game. Big call to put him on against the current Wallabies' locks.

Those Brumby centres are going to have Ant and Taps on their toes all night. They will need to have a good night and get their reads right otherwise I can see the Brumbies bagging a few 5 pointers.

As lacklustre as we have been though, on paper they are two quality teams and if we come out firing this could be a game for the ages!

Mogg starting makes me think he was just cramping up last week.

Good to see To'omua is fit and Lealiifano gives real quality to the bench.

Good to see Sio and Moore back. Will be a good, solid scrum and platform for an attacking game plan. Reds should not be underestimated, otherwise we could have another Rebels result on our hands.

Staniforth over Whetton is a huge call. Maybe its the right call but Whetton is going to be hugely pissed off, probably enough to send him home next year.

To be fair, Staniforth had trained with the side during the pre-season and possibly even the last one too so knows the basic structures.
