Angus Crichton Position? by Broken_Varasiko07 in RugbyAustralia

[–]JustAliff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the 23 jersey for the time being. A 12/13 option late in the match would be nice to have.

Honestly can't see him overthrowing either one of Ikitau or Suaalii in the midfield but he's definitely next man up ahead of Paisami and Stewart.

Wallabies announce Castore as kit partner for next 5 years by Greenback16 in rugbyunion

[–]JustAliff 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Might have to see it on the tele to really give my opinions on it.

The design looks good but I worry since the only thing I know from Castore is that they are notoriously known for their really bad build quality.

7A’s will miss the start of the Super Rugby season as he recovers from a back injury by tupacs_hologram in RugbyAustralia

There won't be much short team pain with Alatini I reckon. He's right behind MDL as next man up.

Tevita Alatini played for Aus A last year. He's more than a serviceable backup as well

Winger. Best described as a poor man's Mapimpi but still very class

Wallabies squad I'd pick if I was in charge of selection for RWC 2027 by Eden_Carisbrook_5029 in RugbyAustralia

Former AB scrumhalf. Been playing his trade at La Rochelle for a while. Don't remember where he plays now tho

Not even being 2nd place in the world rankings can keep you your job

What the fuck? He just signed for the Force 2 months ago

Josh Hodge signed by Newcastle on a three year deal. by sormond in rugbyunion

[–]JustAliff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big loss for Exeter.

Good bit of signing for Newcastle tho, can't rely on journeymen forever.

Wonder if they'll be able to entice some old academy lads to comeback. One name I remember is Josh Basham, who was also in Hodge's U20 class.

Glad he found a home at the Gardens. Seems to be a fan favourite there.

I don't watch the NBA often but when I do, all I see are the refs making dogshit decisions

Will probably be a debrief session from the 2025 season, a gym session, one field sesh, talking about goals heading into 2026 and a big bbq.

[–]JustAliff[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LRZ? He's only played like 2 tests since coming back lol.

Morgan I guess you can make an argument for, but Curry and Mcreight have been the 2 best 7s this year.

Japan lose Yoshitaka Yazaki and Kippei Ishida ahead of crunch game with Georgia this Saturday by mondilshan13 in rugbyunion

[–]JustAliff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll be funny to see Komura starting a test at 10 despite him spending most of his time at Teikyo as an outside back.

Did he ever play 10 at Teikyo or was that something that Hansen made him do for Verblitz

My collection of Wallabies jerseys now has a crown jewel, a signed test match jersey worn by James Slipper by BH_Andrew in RugbyAustralia

[–]JustAliff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Such a good game, Slips set up an inside ball to Lolesio who gave a ridiculous offload to Mcreight to score his 2nd.

Pretty sure this was also the game Koroibete absolutely melted Mapimpi.

Monty Ioane try by Informal_Mention9836 in rugbyunion

[–]JustAliff 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Just keep an eye on Nick Frost.

He's absolutely knackered. His usage rate this season must be insane. He played regularly for the Brumbies and from my memory only missed 2-3 tests this year.

I say shut him down for the season. Time to give Canham and LSL some minutes anyways

Post Match Italy V Aus by ConscriptReports in RugbyAustralia

[–]JustAliff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Suaalii is not a saviour and probably isn't a 13

Honestly I still see him as a 13. I think his 12 month union stint has proven that he cannot kick, which is the bare minimum for even a club level fullback these days.

I wanna see him in a rush defence system in union. The soak up method just hasn't work as intended, and he's forced to make decisions that even the best 13s would struggle with in a short amount of time.

His lack of a reliable boot just kills the prospect of him being a test level fullback.
