But the entire NZ coaching group you mean Mike Cron? Geoff Parling - Australian based Eoin Toolin - Australian based Laurie Fisher - Australian based Mike Cron is at retirement age. Can't see him continuing on without Joe.

Yes, he is an option. I never said he wasn't.

His last few tests were with a Frost / Williams second row. Wilson was the 3rd best option.

I think it's unlikely we'll see both Valetini and Wilson in the backrow and Skelton in the second row. It leaves you with one principal jumper and two back-up part time jumpers. Hardly desirable. I suspect we'll see: 4. Frost 5. Skelton 6. Williams/Uru 7. McReight 8. Valetini (19...

3. Wright 2. Valetini 1. Ikitau

3. Ikitau 2. Bell 1. Bobby V

Also, Fraser McReight to be named captain for the tour.

Here's my pick for the Wallabies (34) and Australia XV (30) Loosehead: (Wallabies) Bell, Slipper, Kailea | (XV) Hodgman, Schoupp Hooker: (Wallabies) Feasslar, Paenga-Amosa, Nasser | (XV) Pollard, Longeran Tighthead: (Wallabies) Tupou, Ala'alatoa, Nongorr | (XV) Robertson, De Lutils Locks...

Comes with a South African passport, doesn't it?

Terrible news with Fraser being injured. I thought he would have been a strong candidate to be skipper moving forward. He was one of Australia's best over the the three match start to the season. Like-for-like I think Rory Scott is probably the best replacement providing both ruck pressure and...

As spotted on Instagram... Kerevi supporting his partner (Brienne Terita) at the Olympics Skelton doing preseason with La Rochelle Perhaps we'll only see Koroibete come into the squad from the internationals.

Doesn't appear to be career ending. Doran's article refers to "immediate future in doubt" as in his availability for the RC.

Doran's article from the Roar

I think I heard somewhere that we should expect a squad announcement around the 1st of August. Regarding players, Doran has reported on the Roar: - BPA is back in Sydney and has been scrummaging against Bell (who is on the return from injury); - Skelton is a 50/50% on returning to the Wallabies...
