Re: Cadbury Old Gold Wallabies

To be fair, Whittakers have made the un-drinkable very edible: Bundaberg ginger is very drinkable Bundaberg Ginger beer is high bar stuff. An amazing drink. Their Sars is pretty good, too. Mind you, I only drink the diet varieties, have not seen diet Sars in the local Woolies for months.

Actually, it's that he occasionally goes missing when he's needed to do the hard work - like making his designated tackles. That's not to say he wasn't a good poach for the Brumbies, after being developed elsewhere, at provincial level. Harry Wilson is a better #8. Valetini needs to learn make thos...

So far Valetini has knocked on under zero pressure, and then missed his tackle on Mo'unga and let in a soft try. Anyone still think he should be in the wallabies squad? Yes, I do.

Re: OFFICIAL Super Rugby AU Grand Final! Reds v. Brumbies

Agree with Towny about Valetini. What sealed it for me was the (legal) collision with Harry Wilson, which took Wilson off the field, and had no noticeable effect on Valetini.

Backrow of Valetini, Wilson, and Hooper, I reckon.

Better team lost, IMHO. The Brumbies attack looked lethal in the first half, dunno how the Reds survived.
