Whats the go with Paenga-Amosa? Not picked and not listed in the unavailables
Does that mean he is third choice? Bit of a surprise if so but Dolly could prove to be a great pick up
I reckon BPA is being saved for the brumbies
So Kane Koteka must be less than impressed at Yannick Sinner's scandalous outcome for a pretty much similar incident. If you believe his excuse, which I don't. One positive from a physio's contaminated hand - maybe? But a second positive two days later from the world's most unhygienic medical practitioner???Jeez I hope he kills it. Having his situation accepted and still getting virtually a 2 year ban just doesn't pass the pub test. Particularly when measured with what super wealthy athletes get away with.
One gets to keep playing, bags a major & gets 3 months with no majors. The other loses two full seasons at the height of his career.

I'm not saying that's all bad, because we get to take the moral high ground and call every other nation cheats when they do shit like that, but it is tough on your career if you get stitched up in that way.So Kane Koteka must be less than impressed at Yannick Sinner's scandalous outcome for a pretty much similar incident.

In a short-term Director of Rugby role apparently
I was thinking he'd make a reasonable replacement for Joe.
That might be on the cards still with the Aussies wanting to lock him in before others swoop.
There wouldn't be any concerns about leaving the Force in a hole after he goes, would there?
C'mon the
Might be a good man to help find us another prop or two.
Good article on The Roar about NDdC
Round 1 of Super Rugby Pacific has already revealed Joe Schmidt's next Wallaby
The northern hemisphere teams put their differences aside and come together every four years to make up a team of British and Irish Lions. Competition for places is the hottest topic ahead of the tour but no word is rolled out more during the buildup than “bolter”.....

We scrum for posession, run for the try zone, bleed for the team and live for the game
According to a poster on GG&R the Force are in talks with a prop from Harlequins for temporary injury cover. No further details at the moment.
If rumour is true:
Loose Head Props at Harlequins:
Tom Osbourne (Australian and currently loaned out to London Scottish, Most Likely)
Wyn Jones (Currently starting or off the bench, Welsh international, least likely)
Jordan Els (South African, usually off the bench, very outside chance)
Ethan Clarke (Played very little still learning his trade unlikey)

I guess it depends on if we see Moli as a 1 or a 3. If Moli is a 1, we also have Coxon and Pearce. We are okay there. If Moli is a 3, then we'd need a loosie.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
A player who looks like Tom Osbourne is sitting with some other force players on the hill at UWA for the woman’s game. That may solve the mystery.

Joshua Smith became the 272nd Force player this afternoon, having been a late replacement for Atu Moli on the bench earlier.
