Time to get prior back at 9, instead of warming the bench !..

Sorry, what is an ACL joint? Is it his ACL or something else, like where it attaches to the bone. ?

my apologies.

Glad we got that straightened out.

Has Luke Burton played 9? Devastated for Ryan, definitely in line for a Wallabies spot I reckon. But I really like Ruru's game, and Ian Prior.

it is something you smoke when told your ACL(and season) is knackered

That is an absolute bucket of turd for Ryan. Ruru I reckon is more than capable of taking the reins.

Ruru and Prior are decent 9s, Lance and Burton at 10. Prior has been covering 10, too, and don't we still have Grant in the squad?

Louwrens' injury is a blow, both for him and the team, but for the first year in a few we have decent cover.

Does not help poor Ryan tho .. I really thought we had a chance of a few spots in the Wallaby camp this yr

Feeling very sad for Ryan. He was the form srum half in Australian rugby this year. Clearly outplayed the other Aus 9's head to head.

Ruru has been great in support and will be a more than adequate replacement. He's probably the second best 9 in Aus after Ryan.

Prior and Luke Burton on the bench would be good cover. Where is Luke, still injured?
