Highlanders v Rebels

What the heck was that re-start?!? That sequence of play is a great snapshot of this game
@SouthernMann haha can’t exit after a try. You learn that in under 16s.
Garden Bachop not in position and drops it then camera cuts to him and you see him laughing. Sums it up really. Pathetic.

...well...that was a fun evening at the rugby.....
thinking over the weekend....we just looked soft, ive been joking over the last week our season was over already....but i think the players believe that too based on that game...just soft arms in tackles, receivers getting the ball flat footed...then doing a two step on the spot before ducking the head into the tackle...no speed, no direction, no urgency

I thought Kellaway looked really good in this game. With him at fullback it takes pressure off of Gordon too

he's had a good season. Tries his guts out too.

The Wallaby fullback position is fairly wide open. Always thought he was a better winger than a fullback but certainly putting himself in the frame
@KiwiMurph right now I would go with a Toole, Kellaway and Wright back three for the Wallabies. All have plenty of pace and are smart footballers which Aussie need. You could put either Wright or Kellaway at 15 because they are both very adaptable in both positions.

@Canes4life Petaia is the only guy with size, can't leave him out.
@ruggabee he's so hot and cold though. Does some real stupid shit mixed with really good stuff. Not a player I would start at test rugby.
The Brumbies have shown you don't exactly need size on the outsides to do the business. Toole's pace is x-factor plus so probably negates the any need for a power player on the left flank.

@Canes4life Wright is an absolute muppet so fingers crossed he's starting.

The first two yes. Toole has that fuck off speed, Kellaway plays smart and makes things happen. Wright screws up. You've still got the ability to place Nawaqanitawase, Jorgensen or Petaia.

@antipodean I'm going from this year's form, he's been one of the best players for the Brumbies and one of the top fullbacks in the comp. Wright's screwed up plenty of times in the past but is this the year he's finally matured? Who knows but I'd have him in the mix for sure.
Darby Lancaster is another young gun winger playing really well for the Rebels. He could also be in the mix. The Wallabies aren't short of outside back options.
