Definitely plays different to Harrison and I too like what he brings to the Waratah attack.

I’ve said this on other threads but there is room for both of them in the Tahs backline and possibly in time the wallabies one too
This is part of what you want from Swinton in my opinion.
Being able to agitate opposition players to the point they might do something stupid while making sure he doesn't do anything himself.

I doubt it. They are both pretty small by international standards, 81 kgs or a bit more. Carter and Barrett, for example, are both about 90 kg.
Donaldson actually looks more robust, to me. That is one of the reasons I would prefer him at the higher level, if it comes to a choice. But I suppose Lolesio is the next in line after O'Connor.

It looked to me as though Isi was really up for that game, mentally. He was really throwing himself into it. Maybe he was intent on boosting his highlights video for job applications?

Just need to look at JOC (James O'Connor) as a 21yr old to JOC (James O'Connor) now. Both will grow into their bodies more.
Well he was on fire for almost 20 minutes until he smashed Max Douglas in the head and then tried to punch Swinton.

He probably copped a mouthful for the head high tackle, in either case reacting by throwing a punch is just stupid these days.

Not talking him down, just questioning the comment that he is Australia best No 8

Like Rennie you mean?

Which is fair, I guess. He'd be in the squad and that's enough for it to constitute a significant blow.

Look - I rate him as a player, but it is one of the more clear cut player analysis.
He wasn’t fit enough, he isn’t a lineout target and he’s one dimensional in attack.
Given his inclusion in the Wallaby squad this year I’m assuming Rennie believed he was working on his short comings. Or, at very least, wanted to see for himself at close quarters. Not sure where he’ll stand after his suspension though - especially given he has apparently signed overseas.

Some new on the mid year tests been reported
France have confirmed they are coming, however....
- Players that make the Top 14 finals will miss the first test
- Game will be played on 7, 13, 17 of July. That means 2 mid week games
- apparently this has been done because of the quarantine needs and getting players back to France with as minimal disruption as possible.
If true it’s better than nothing
