rebels' kicking game has been bloody awful. though mogg has been excellent thus far edit: just as i say that... edit2: why the devil are the rebels going for scrums?!
What a weekend op rugby. Good for the log to shake things up a bit, but bad for anyone who put money on the games. Superbru had the Canes result at a 4% predicted upset and the Rebels game at a 3% predicted upset. The Chiefs v Bulls draw was at 0,13% predictability.
haha - first time watching them at length. Might as well give Marshall a go at 10. They will lose the kicking but tactically he can't be any worse.
McKalman should be a wallaby. Best aussie number 8 I have seen in some time. Wallabies will be a better team this year I am starting to think. Back row 6 higginbottham 7 Hooper 8 McKalman That will for the first time in 5 years be as good as anything in the four nations. Provided Hooper can step it up one more level. He was a bit green last year. Front row Slipper alexander Moore will travel well also 2nd row will be meh but no one else has a good one. backs 9 Genia will be pressed for the first time by others so is not a shoo in. He looks sluggish in this game by his standards 10 Cooper 11 meh 12 Leafaino (sp?) will get the nod over the vastly improved McCabe who doesn't understand that you can't run over DeVilliers or conrad Smith. one day he will learn a side step. 13 Tevita Kuridrani - he just gives more options than ashley cooper. 14 Speight 15 Folau Beale the utility back off the bench. Can basically play anywhere. Would be tempted to put him at left wing just to get him on the field.
These misses are going to hurt the Force. That's 6 points spurned in the second. Both very kickable shots too.
