I'm so over talking about weaners with blonde streaks and pink rat tails. Lets talk about the fibrosed foreheads up front that will win games for the Force.
Takiari. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing him scrummage and pick and drive and maul. By all accounts he is a very tough character although he couldn't crack it for much of a go with the Tahs. How good is he? At 118KG, I hope he goes alright. We could do with that amount of muscle up front.
Gareth Hardy. I hope they've got him fitter.
Angus Scott. I think he is the most under rated prop in Australia. He is a bit of a late bloomer but comes from great NSW Country bloodlines. He's 'ard and if you don't believe me have a look at his melon. He can play both sides of the scrum. If Hardy doesn't perform at loosehead I'd give him a crack. If the wallabies need a prop on the bench that can cover loose and tight head, why can't Angus get a gig?
Cannon. Has been to the top of the mountain. Experience counts.
McIsaac. Useful. Rated the best in the business in QLD rugby when he played at the Gold Coast Breakers under scrum Doctor Alec Evans. Tai prefers a slow paced game however. He has great mauling skills and despite some poor showings for the wallabies has great set piece skills.

A pretty good summary, and i too am glad to talk about the important players, the forwards...
Proudly bought to you by a brewery somewhere....
Not to forget the brains of the entire operation!

i'm a front row player and i believe that game is played and won in the tight 5 (or maybe even the tight 3). I've had the privledge of seeing takiari in full flight. he's a big man, so strong, powerful, fit and fast! he's an absolute animal. can't wait to see him dominating in a force jumper! i believe he is good enough to play for the wallabies, he could solve the front row woes that have made me embarrassed to say i support the wallabies.
good one chiselhead...for a red neck dumb assed forward you wrote a good post.![]()
Just happy to be here
He looks 'ardOriginally Posted by RugbyFan
I'm not sure why he couldn't get a game for the Tahs if he's actually any good?
Incumbents were Donuts Dunning and Backwards Baxter; and it seemed that McKenzie preferred to give the young'un Benn Robinson the opportunity over Takiari. I think he only played 1 or 2 games for NSW....
Tah's loss is our gain!

do you really think forwards know how to use a computer, let alone post on a forum?![]()

I always thought that they were the fairer sex of the partnership - quick to anger quick to recover composure quick to spot the problem quick to take advantage always with a wary eye on the ball and if the other sex don't deliver do it for them![]()
