Anyway, since when are hamstrong injuries season-ending? You're normally back within a month, even for a bad one. Bad luck for Pretorius though - I think he was looking forward to it.

To me he would be a better option than anyone else because they can cover 12 and 15 ... the only other two positions JOC would play. What about JOC 10 and Bartholomeuz at 12? SNK maybe, but why not JOC? To me he would be a better option than anyone else because they can cover 12 and 15 … the only other two positions JOC would play. What about JOC 10 and Bartholomeuz at 12?

I used to love watching him for the Brumbies in any position it seemed. He has the time and skill to play in most positions well. Does anyone know what position he has been playing the last few years away? I imagine they might go to Bart. I used to love watching him for the Brumbies in any position it seemed.

Not good. JOC at 10 would be worth a shot as I don't really think there two young 5/8's ( Kyle Godwin and Stefano Hunt) would be up to the task just yet. Providing experience is one thing but too much to soon could potentially be career ending. Chris

Perhaps they should take a look at the Shute Shield or give one of the local juniors a chance to step up? Let's face it - they were/are going to be battling to avoid the spoon in any case so they may as well blood some talent. I wouldn't mind seeing JOC get some game time at 10. He didn't exactly set the world alight at fullback for Australia last year.
