I know we’ve spoken about this but Christy’s had a swing for the next debutants. https://www.theroar.com.au/2025/12/10/who-will-be-wallaby-no-1000-five-players-who-could-debut-in-2026-and-the-journeyman-who-might-make-history/ He’s got Debreczeni as the 1000th wallaby which I think is about as...

Is this the same mob the the rebels said RA should have gone with to save them?

For tomorrow’s game. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/australia-u16s-side-locked-in-to-face-queensland-reds-u17s-2025129?fbclid=IwZnRzaAOl9EhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEe5obr9Jpkh67Q75MuKIAD2BAs0IqKU9dJJ0ucmfjeOeEu9i8-fpI3tiwweEY_aem_PFqoeokernDsqWnkqjFUMQ U16 with an all qld...

He’s not had many starts though.

I think what potentially accelerates De Luttis and Ieli’s chances is that they’ve got blokes ahead of them that they can learn from. Slipper has so much experience that he can be passing onto Lington and De Luttis has JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) and Nongorr to help drive him. Slipper and JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) basically doubling as...

Hoppo leoto is the other one that should get a look in 2031. And King, already looks massive!

Yeah, jury is still out on Nonggorr but he definitely showed more this year at test level. Robertson doesn't cut it at the next level. I think Ross should leapfrog him with his scrummaging ability. Hopefully Schoupp and Kaliea can go to the next level. Blake needs to stay on the park and Kailea...

Will they use the same limits that are in rugby? Because I get the feeling smart mouth guards are gonna show some pretty horrific collisions in the NRL.

I think we can pretty much rule out picking up a league playmaker. As good as Cleary is he would need a bit to acclimatise to rugby, which we don’t have. Face it, we’re hitching our hopes to Carter, Lynagh and Lolesio/Donno.

Cricket is dominating the sport landscape. Not too alarming.

Fra 29 - Aus 10. Pretty disappointing weekend. Couldn’t seem to get the ball in all the games. Looked spent from last weekend.

2 pt loss to Argentina. Look short a gallop this weekend.

Arg 36 - Aus 0 Morrison had a shocker. So did Australia’s defence.

Yeah it’ll be a coup for RA. But I also thought Geros wasn’t a chance. I think we’ll continue to lean into the 7s as a way of showing a pathway to the pros. And it helps that Harvey and Charlie are showing that path forward. Helpful that he’s played with Orr, Pritchard and Geros and they may...

Has Lomax toured Brumbies HQ or just the Force?
