everybody good guess host performance players rather shoes
I think everybody will be primed for a good performance. And I guess I'd rather have experienced players who've been there and done that than a whole host of players who haven't. I'd rather be in our shoes than their shoes.
clean coach everybody given guess injuries last slate
I guess with the new coach and given the injuries at the back end of last season, it's probably a clean slate for everybody in contention.
fantastic future player rugby
Julian is a fantastic young player with a long future as a professional rugby player, hopefully, at the Brumbies.
focus preparing rogers shut somebody
Our only focus is on preparing our game, so we're not doing things to shut down Rogers or shut down somebody else.
cent court decision discussed fairly given might number per purely push strong
We haven't given up, and I only know what I've read in all the papers, which is a fairly strong push that he's over there, but he hasn't told us that yet and I don't know that he's 100 per cent made up his mind. But indications are that he might be leaving. We discussed it with him on a number of occasions, there's nothing to add. The decision is purely in his court now.
against good great week win zealand
It's great to go to the week off having a good win against a New Zealand side.
certainly easy specific strategies work
They've got some specific strategies defensively and they work for 80 minutes, so there is certainly no easy way through them.
left stayed sure wing
I'm not sure he left to play fullback. He could have stayed with us and contended for a fullback or wing place.
bonus point taking tired
The bonus point was there for the taking but we just didn't take it. We just got tired and didn't play particularly smart.
aiming certainly defend hard precisely watched
Around the ruck they certainly defend differently, but having watched just that one trial, it's hard to say precisely what they're aiming at.
game inside training
They haven't started in a game as the inside backs, but they did a lot of training there over the summer.
certainly great marquee period players rugby signing
It's certainly great to have one of the marquee players in world rugby signing with us for such a period of time, so we're particularly excited.
body dozen game games player starting super tough week
It's an enormously tough game in the forwards. Week in week out, the body contact, the collisions are enormous, so to think you can be a starting player week in week out, potentially over 15 Super 14 games and a dozen Tests, it's an unrealistic expectation.
chance gene matt playing pressure
We just want to give Matt the chance to feel comfortable at 12 (inside centre) and not put the pressure on him that comes with playing at 10. Gene Fairbanks will be our back-up five-eighth, not Matt.
