Len
Jas
Max
Tom?
Bench
Lonegran/Gordon
Tade/donaldson
Filipino
Pietsch
either max or jas could cover 15
Rennie is a very good cosch
Schmidt is a fantastic coach tho some prep concerns and the odd selection choice
We should’ve been more prepared for lions and 10 seconds from winning the series.
Our problem depth.
We lose right and our back 3 is compromised seriously. JAS is great but he needs more...
Jorgo is a gun long term 15 in my mind. He’s too talented to but a perm winger. Needs to touch the ball more. Yes he can be a modern winger but that won’t touch as much as a fullback perm. Good timing to replace weight in 2-3 years assuming he goes to Europe etc.

I think the point of this nearly third string team was to aim to start first xv or close to every game they n balance of tour.
I’d like to see them stick to four games a tour and give Aus a some
More games before. We don’t have the depth to do 5 games
