Green and Gold go for openside Balance, but not in selection.

Lot's of unusual stats

The Verdict - quotes
"David Pocock has to be on the field for the Wallabies"
"A back row works in balance though, and disregarding line-out options, the Pooper brings that – with Hooper adding his ball running, aggressive defence and pressure on the tackle area from another angle." (Pooper - that's so cute), I'll call him "plip plop" from now on.
"If Jed Holloway can hold his form through injury though, he makes life very interesting – bringing almost 10 metres per run and his range of other attacking stats on steroids, PLUS a line-out option."
After reading you may ask - Matt who?????
Hard to believe, read it yeself.

I think that when they talk about the Pooper, they are meaning Pocock and Hooper as a two-person unit. I do love thinking of Hooper as a pooper though!!

I don't think Hodgo will get another Wallaby cap now, not unless there is an injury crisis. Other options are younger and in a better shape to build a team for the 2019 RWC.
But if cutting the season length in half prolongs Hodgo's career at the Force, I'll not be unhappy with the selectors overlooking the hardest man in Australian rugby.

If Green and Gold is anything to go by they don't even consider him as a spare. Force Guy had a go at combatting the madness, and the next guy commented......."You could pick any number 7 currently playing super rugby in Australia, even their back ups in the national team and I doubt they'd look out of place...Chris Alcock is quality and i haven't even seen him running around for the force this year.

So anyone is at least the equal of Hodgson, even Chris Alcock - who the guy says he hasn't seen play for the Force this year WTF

When ever someone says "green 'n' gold" I think of the springbocks..
they are green with gold trim..

But I've always been a gold and green bloke.
