So if Edmed does his hammy in the 1st minute, we get 79 mins of Hamish Stewart at 10 in a Test match?

Maybe, maybe not. None of them are really good enough. Brumbies must be a bit worried, no Ikitau, no Wright, no Hooper, no Lolesio etc

Is that meant to be impressive?

They are fit though, ran Fiji ragged and nearly beat them

No he didn't, his contract just came up 2 years before Edmed's did. Donaldson started over Edmed all season in 2023

Yeah, but he named other Aus A players in the squad, so leaving Donaldson out was very intentional

Is that true, Edmed was dropped by week 3, seemed well before there was any noise of the Brumbies

But there are no limit's on squad size, surely just name Donaldson in the squad in case Edmed pulls a hammy in training The only player they are leaving it open for is O'Connor, but is that really still the answer?

But Ben Donaldson has been on numerous November tours before, including last year and would surely know the system better than Edmed and certainly Gordon (who has never been on a November tour or been coached by Schmidt before) I get wanting to get Gordon in to learn, but why only take 2 10's...

Am I the only one that finds this absolutely bonkers. He couldn't beat out Lawson Creighton & Jack Bowen

He has played 4 QLD Cup games and 1 NRL game in the last 14 months

Did he? Can’t remember him being asked about Carter Gordon once in the last 14 months

And not one of these so called journalists have just asked Joe why

I think we need to agree to disagree on that. Let’s just hope Gordon doesn’t quit on us again this time But can we genuinely ask what the hell Tane Edmed has done to get this charmed ride? Does he have compromising photos of someone?

I can’t agree with the “fucked over” part. Being picked for the Wallabies isn’t being “fucked over” There were 30 other players in that same team and they didn’t take their ball and go home. They stayed committed to Australian rugby and got us through a dark time
