    If he's good enough he should play. He looked good enough last night. Bloody impressive in fact! The experience of other back line players will help him in his first few tests. He's the sort of player that could bring that edge to the Wallabies attack that we have missed the last couple of years. Just open holes and offload to support players on his shoulder.
    Foley had a blinder to. Looking better every week

    I admit the first few games I wasn't impressed ( or was wearing blinkers) but this guy is good. I would like the ARU to make him commit ( to X years) if he gets a Wallaby jersey. Probably not legal but that's my 6 pence worth!

    Shasta will be shocked at me saying this, but Izzy does seem to be building nicely. Haven't watched the kings game yet, so can't comment, but I wouldn't be locking him out of a gold jersey too soon, if he keeps developing at the pace he is going you'd be an idiot to ignore him......it's not like we're short of quality outside backs though. It shouldn't be a lay down mysere!

    Jake White made interesting and poignant comment re Folau. He said dont give him the wallaby jersey if he is going to play 5 tests then piss off back to league. As this cheapens the jersey. Make him commit long term before giving him a go. He also warned re pushing Mogg to quickly. Want to make a 70 test player not a 7 test player. White would be a great choice as wallaby coach IMHO.

    Folau is beginning to relax into his role now and it is showing in his performance. On the contracting issue, you would want to try and grab him until after the 2015 RWC at the very least. I don't think this is long term, most contracts are around the two year mark these days.

    I think that if a code signs a player for one year they can't then disqualify them from national selection because they've only signed for one year - in fact with the way contracting works down here it wouldn't make sense.

    Says he hopes to get a deal done in the next few weeks. Heard an interview with Cheika yesterday. He's very confident he'll stay in Rugby. Not dependant on Wallaby selevtion. But based on where he has seen Rugby can take him, both in the game and beyond. We'll see

    He said he was blown away by his trip to South Africa. Experiencing different cultures and countries and realising the global nature of union. NRL and AFL are two of the worlds most limited sports geographically speaking. Would be a major coup if we can keep him long term

    Folau is the real deal. The bloke is killing it and he doesn't understand the rules yet. This bloke could be our Lomu...........and the Force could have got him

    That'll do me

    Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots
    Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes
    In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide
    And the girls all shouting around the ringside
    Oh he's the Fulla from Cunnamulla
    Yeah he's the Cunnamulla Fulla
