Boom Western Force youngster James O'Connor is in doubt for Saturday's Super 14 derby against the Brumbies with an ankle injury.
Hot property O'Connor sustained a high ankle strain in the Force's 16-10 round two win over the Cheetahs on Friday night in Perth.
The young Wallabies utility back is rated a 50-50 chance of lining up outside playmaker Matt Giteau against the Brumbies in Canberra.
The rest...
"12 Years aSupporter" starring the #SeaOfBlue
All showmanship..he'll be there and starting at number 10
coz Stone Cold says so
Thats a shame, but does he get the gig as water boy and Spanna goes to starting 12 and Junior on the bench then?
If he gets on the plane he will play
I agree with Stone Cold
Given that Spanner has said he doesn't want to "rush" back I would say he will start from the bench again this week
I was looking forward to seeing JOC line up against Mortlock.... are you sure his mother didn't call and cancel?...![]()
I wouldn't like to see the guy go up against Mortlock in the mid-field. Especially not if he isn't 100%. Hardy is out aswell but I think since the Brumbies aren't nearly as good scrummagers as the Cheetahs and Blues we can sub in Pekky Cowan who has less experience but a lot more grunt.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
Exactly you can't put JOC up against the Mortometre... Staniforth should step in for 12... He has half a chance at stopping him... one of the locks is going to be out in teh centres all match tackling for JOC...
Morlock, Example Tackle 1a:
And look there's Giteau cheering him on
JOC can take him
coz Stone Cold says so
JOC will have Mortlock contemplating retirement
THIS is your example of a copybook tackle?
Where's his head?
no wonder he spends half his life in treatment for concussion!
My money, Line Giteau up against the human wrecking ball, no point in risking long term injury to little Jimmy. O'Connor would turn Lealiifano into a pretzel playing at 10.
Gits can run into Mortlock all day, It'd be the World's best 12 against an old, slow concussed ex-13....win win really!

Exactly, why not Daruda v Lealifano, Giteau v Mortlock?
