Re: Quade: How you doing Brad?

Quade needed to leave.

He was training hard. He was comfortable with his environment. Thorn banishing was probably the best thing to happen to him.

New environment and a skillful coach.

It's a positive. He doesn't have to be a dick about it.

Re: Match Fixing Wallabies

Too recent.

It’d be the Scottish Games back in 2009 I think? 2012?

Some very easy missed kicks in the first one by one player who was reknowned for chasing money. The captain was also someone who lost a lot of money and tried many things to recoup.

Re: Jordan Petaia... season over

He tried to do a little shake and go but was caught in the tackle. I reckon in his junior days he would've just used his strength to push out of the tacklers grasp so wouldn't think about adjusting his feet for a fall. This time however he was tackled by a stronger player and didn't think ro adjust...

Brumbies team is named. McCaffrey starts ahead of Samu but probably deservedly. I think Samu is over rated. A solid Super Rugby player, fine of the bench and McCaffrey was excellent last year.
