    Will Skelton to be the big improver in that squad this year, possible Wallaby call up this year IMHO. He's RWC 2015 material.

    On paper, they have no excuses at all. Let's hope we can be the giant-killers we know we can be! Go the Force!

    On paper...

    If only the game were played on paper!

    Will we fall into the old trap of getting close, but still lose, but get a bonus point?

    I hope the makes a statement in game 1. I have reservations, but that's my hope! C'mon lads.

    Great test for us.

    They are loaded with Wallabies.

    Hopefully the boys give a good show and we have a major spill over.

    With a team like that Cheika has no excuses for not making the finals

    Just a side note how does a team like that fit into the same salary cap as us or is the cap different for each team!

    Wallaby top up deals that mean the Waratahs don't have to pay the players as much?

    That explains why the ARU is almost broke, and now they will probably use the registration fees from our clubs and other states to pay for these top ups.

    The other thing that makes me mad is that Beale leaves the Rebels under huge "cloud" and seems to be treated as "prince" now that he is back at the Tahs

    Based upon the form in the trial games would expect Pek in the run-on team, with Morahan to R Wing, Hayward to FB and hopefully MMM off the bench.

    We're allowed to be excited by the strength that will be off the bench. Hope MF uses the reserves for greatest impact against the Tahs in the 2nd half.

    Excited by this game as I'm hopeful that the WF will show what team work can do rather than having a collection of excellent individuals.

    I think we have some depth in the front row so we should rotate the players regularly to stave off those niggling injuries.

    The King of contact Stander should have a run at 8 in the second half.

    We should save MMM up for when the hardman pretender Potgeiter comes on, so MMM can do the business on him.

    my 2 cents.

    On paper the 'Tahs but could they be over confident? I hope so, Falou and Aloa Aloa both get Delhi belly just before kick off and we are home!��

    The whole salary cap thing is a complete joke. It's very easy to circumvent.

    They've got Wallabies on the fargin bench! I think they will regret not playing Horne, Kepu and Pottygetter in the 15.

    Carn Force! Let's give that whingey Chieka something to really whinge about!!!
