That they were talking about him as an openside was symptomatic of the mindset under Jones
He's a good ball runner to be fair to him. He can play a bit of seven at soup level because hes happy hitting rucks, but nuts he played 7 for Australia.

I think too early for him. What about Bell, Holloway, Swinton, Harrison, Foketi? Bell injured Swinton is behind Wilson Wright and Valetini Holloway maybe I guess, I think he's squad for side. Harrison has had one losing start. No way he's in the 23. Foketi over Paisami? No way. Maybe on the bench. ...

Drua has smashed the Brumbies scrum a few times. WTF is going on there? We've got a lightweight second row Hooper is 122 kg and Frost is 120kg Slipper was clearly injured in that first scrum and AAA is back from a long layoff I’d suspect that was more crucial You're probably right. :thumbup:
