    Not far off what Deans would have picked, things have changed but stayed the same!

    Wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that none of the "faceless men" in the ARU have changed??!

    The link has as much pull on players as Robbie did and as Alli says it all the faceless old school NSW & QLD cronnies selecting the teams

    It should have been a learning tour for all the next string of players looking forward to super rugby 2014 with capturing talent for 2015

    We are at the bottom with the older players so cant get any worse so let the younger ones learn and go forward and up

    Is Kyle still recovering from surgery? I thought he was going to be ready for the spring tour abs would've been a certain selection?

    Yeah, that's a bloody good question; if he's available, how's he not in the squad?

    Godwin had post season shoulder surgery I think. I think he will be back in training around November. He'd definitely warrant a space over Mike Harris

    He was offered the position, but declined so that he could take a leading role in Face-Off 2. It's a long time since the original, but Hollywood script writers are out of ideas and noone is offering Nicholas Cage or John Travolta any work so it got the green light.

    Given the other lead will be Anthony Albanese I reckon it might bomb out

    Agreed with all except Horwill. He's the best lock in the country by some distance.
