Horwill in doubt after training knock

[BLR]

I want to know why Chisholm is so far down the rankings in Australian rugby, he had a very good season at the Brumbies. He is one of most physical and damaging locks around, I think he should be there.

I haven't heard a thing about him all season, so I dunno how good his season has been.....a lot less then previous seasons that is...

I don't know that Chisolm is a threat in the International Lineout Shaun. He has a good presence around the field, but the set piece is pretty much where it's at internationally and Chis doesn't seem to be as challenging come lineout time.

Shaun, I've paid out Chis over the years as just being dorky tall timber at 6, but this year I agree he had a good run specialising at lock for the Brumbies. Strong in the lineout and strong around the field.

I'd have him in there ahead of McMinimum at lock (more caps, nouse and size? at lock). Having just been booted out of the squad though seems unlikely?

The other lock option would have to be Kimlin. Had a great S14 season and even better run with Aussie A. Would be worried about the amount of inexperience with him and Mumm together against the Saffas though.

NEWS JUST IN:

Deans gave away few clues at a water-logged training session yesterday, but Lote Tuqiri, Nathan Sharpe, Berrick Barnes and Matt Dunning are all back from injury and will return to the Test 22. Dan Vickerman is the only one who'll sit out another week.

Lock James Horwill hurting his sternum in the session but is expected to be okay, while George Smith is tipped to get the nod over Phil Waugh for the starting no.7.
