THANKYOU then we will not need to listen to all the experts gab on about who should be in the team. Especially SMH just picking the Retahds team and reluctantly Giteau at fly half

its a thirty man squad, wont be many surprises!
i dont think bad mouthing the smh does anygood, its the smh, its not a rule that there team means anything to anyone but the guys at smh who vote for it! i dont understand why people get so worked up!

plus, the tahs won 9 games to the forces 6 so they must have done something right and by the smh, that right was there forward pack, which few can argue with.

Yeah but they are just plain boring. Who wants to see boring Wallabies.

More Force

i wanna see winning wallabies. the super 14 is for rivalrie amoungst states! the wallabies are our country and may the best team possible be picked regardless of were the players come from!

wow...are you sure you are not a member of the tahpatrol?

i would love to get nine in but my realistic guess is 6

My nine would be
Crossy
Bam Bam
O'Connor
Gits
Hodgo
Sharpie
Drew
Valo
Brownie

BUt i think there is a chance Crossy and Sharpie will miss out and o'connor might stay with the U20's even though i think he is our best fullback option at the moment.

Pocock
O'Connor
Giteau
Valetine
Brown
Mitchell
Sharpe

There is no way Sharpie will miss out on the 30....and I'd go so far as to say the same of Cross. Hodgo will miss out i'd say and O'Connor should be pulled...if they were prepared to take him to the World Cup with no experience then you'd think they'd put him in for a ordinary season when he does have experience and we lack depth and talent at 15.

Sharpe had a solid season... The Wallabies will need some older guys to steady the load...

i must say i would love pek to get picked but the others in his posi have been playing good rugby as well. who wants to guess how many reds get in? 2?

haha probably horwill and barnes would be my choices for reds selection.

horwill, barnes, hynes, is digby going to be fit at all for the rest of the year?
