So essentially Duff (based on his recent increased interest in posting on the topic) is far more angry about the protesters protesting against the mass murder of children than he is about the actual murder of the children themselves..

I agree. There are very few players from outside the Reds and Brumbies I'd pick in the 23. Kaliea , Tupou, Kellaway, maybe Rodda and BPA. 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...

Oh, you need to invent casualties by the 10’s of thousands. Well done. By invent you mean pass on what is commonly reported. Or perhaps I should adopt your style and respond with.

You might want to question your own reading comprehension before labelling me a "dumb Australian."
Quote the comment where I said Arabs were terrorists.

Did these people show this much anger and protest when Hamas terrorist scum massacred thousands of innocent civilians? They didn't though, did they? Not to minimise the actual number of civilians killed, which if I remember rightly was around 800 to 900. It was a mass murder that deserved to be str...

Wright was a 7 originally. He loves a ruck. He played well v Hurricanes. He's also the reigning John Eales medallist, so plenty of people seem to think he brings plenty of physicality. My issue with Valentini is he seems to go missing when things get tough. I expect the big guys in the team to step...

Probably. When do they weigh them? Before every season? So if they are all under-reported, surely it's still valid comparing? Why would certain players be under reported by materially different amounts? They aren't under reported. They are just sparsely reported. Tupou has been 135kgs since he star...

Certainly needs to be in Wallabies squad along with Wright.

As for Wilson, I wouldn't be surprised if Schmidt doesn't select him in the squad.

There's no mention of a camera crew and security in the mainstream media. However the UK government, the labour party the main stream media and almost everyone seems to think the police acted wrongly and they were right to apologise. Not so on here it seems.

It should probably come as no surprise that the Brumbies' defence has really dropped off since Laurie left...

Tackle percentage is much lower than last year, and the forwards appear to lack that edge that has generally been a consistent part of their game.
