Wallabies v Fiji, Sunday, 6 July, 1:30pm @ McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle

He's always going to be upbeat about their chances but it does genuinely sound like they would have all played if this was the the biggest game of the year.

I can't get behind picking Frost. We have great second row depth at the moment and he's been way off the pace this year.

Who would you have instead?

 

[Derpus]

Swain or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

Joe said they’re doing great and will likely be fit for the Lions

Yeah, that's what they've said about every calf injury in the past couple of years. First: it's just precautionary, they'll be right soon. Two weeks later: calf injuries are tricky, it's hard to say exactly when they'll be right. Two weeks after that: probably another month...

Where'd you see this interview? I'd love to check it out.

I thought Swain was a bit of a passenger in the Force game, albeit with less talent around him. Elite at lineout time obviously. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was up to the physical challenge granted, I do like him, let's see how Frost goes this weekend then go from there I guess?

Just quotes from here:

Wallabies coach Schmidt 'very confident' of Lions returns for injured trio

Swain or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

I don't mind having Frost start this one. I feel his does a lot of small things well that tend to go unnoticed, plus Swain and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) have had a run recently.

Shit just realised this is on at 1:30 on a Sunday, I’m guessing to work around the Lions playing on Saturday night and the NRL playing at 4pm Nine on the Sunday? Weird timeslot.

Daytime footy. Gotta love it.

Positive signs for future PacificAid funding via rugby, Albo out for the full meet and great with World Rugby chair Brett Robinson and RA Chair Dan Herbert.

 

[Marbig]

Is anyone’s else Stan audio and video not synced?

 

[Wilson]

Is anyone’s else Stan audio and video not synced?

Yeah, it's been in and out of sync all pre-show

 

[Derpus]

Fuck hope we get through this relatively unscathed

 

[Wilson]

Pity we couldn't get Piardi or Amashukeli to referee this game, it would've been good to get a bit more exposure to them before test 2 and 3

 

[Major Tom]

That was feed into the 2nd row

 

[Wilson]

Definitely looking at using Wilson more in the lineout - first one of the game and he's up for a steal

 

[Micheal]

Cross field kick was a strange option lmao

 

[Major Tom]

Not sure we should be inviting loose play

 

[Major Tom]

Jeez Jorgo looks on today!
