Hope he gets plenty more caps this year. Then maybe Mitch will give him another shot in closer.

Yes what a great night for Spanner!!! Finally he gets a chance and does us proud. It would be great to see him get more game time at 12. Maybe Junior on the bench next season hey!!Originally Posted by shasta
its a shame they didn't pick Horwill, I thought he did a good job stabilising the scrum on Saturday. Neither Sharpe nor Vickerman like pushing hard in scrums due to old shoulder injuries. The wallabies will need a stable scrum if they are to produce any wins in the Tri-nations.
Shepherd got himself sent off in the Shute Shield. He's looking bigger than what he was a few months ago though.
