    @booboo He has made himself available for the Rugby Championship following Jake Gordons injury. Would be saving the Wallabies from having to bring in a second uncapped halfback alongside Ryan Lonergan. The only other capped halfback is Issak Fines-Leleiwasa but he seems to have switched his focus to Fiji having signed with the Drua. Expecting to see Lonergan get a decent shot this Rugby Championship

    @Trig it'll either be a revelation - I personally think Lonergan is a good player - or it'll get Brumbies fans to STFU 😜

    Win-win

    Squad largely strong. Fragile at TH and five eighths rather plodding.

    Frost is an exceptional athlete. Assume he’ll play 80. Personally I’d like to see LSL take over from Big Will at say 55, to keep the physicality coming.

    I am 37. Maybe slightly pessimistic. But I'd peg it at maybe 20% chance? We weren't that far away in 2015, if you get a good draw and the bounce of the ball you never know.

    Your at home in the next one, and have an way above average 1st XV right at the moment, so a short term approach and build to 2027 gives the Wallbies a real shot, IMHO. I'm not saying they are favourites, but there is a lot of draw luck that goes into it (especially to get to the final) & then that basically just gives you a one off game against the best team in the tournament. At home.

    The future will be what it is, but the next 2 years are firmly within control to have a real shot at taking out the big one.

    I’m 59 this year and still think Wales can do it in my lifetime

    Seismic changes required in Welsh rugby for this.

    I think even if you and and Barb's swapped ages, I'd still put the money on him.

    Seems to be a proper tight head. Needs a few years to learn his trade but I'm told he's strong as an ox.
