Stewart is a reasonable but not great kicker. I imagine the order will be Lonergan, Stewart, Daugunu, Kellaway depending on who is on the field.

The point of it generally seems to be to give Valetini license to go all out for 60 or so, rather than having to pace himself. It also looks to be why the partnerships have always been work rate back rows with Valetini, with a guy like Gleeson only really getting a chance to start when Valetini...

More likely than not Harry comes on for Valetini. That's the way Joe has run just about every game of his tenure, outside of injury injuey enforced changes. Game situation may change that a bit, but I'd expect it's still plan A.

It's at least takes a bit more advantage of combos (Force in the backrow, Reds in the centre and front row, tahs in the halves) than Rennies Italy side, but I'd really like one more game breaker (McReight, Jorgo or Sua'ali'i from the guys available) on the bench for emergencies, or a 6/2 to let...

He plays for Shizuoka, but it wouldn't matter either way - he's with the Japan squad and expected to play against the wallabies.

Oh jeez, that's heavy on the rest and rotation

Good to see Max Craig is back too, wasn't sure what had happened there after he missed all of Super Aus

Brosnan is good and properly tall (6'6") but still young and will need to bulk up more (it'll come in time, he's only 20). Muller is solid, but more of a backrow that can play lock than the other way around. Brosnan probably the inside line for a proper squad spot. Brady of the bench could also...

There you go, straight back in for Uru, HMP, Ryan, and Anderson. Was not expecting that. Big game for Jack Brady off the bench, who might be a good shout for that remaining lock spot. He's not a small man and had very good 2024 in QPR (I didn't get to watch anywhere near as much this year so I...

Christy's article said Thursday afternoon, so probably any time in the next ~3 hours (it's 1pm in Tokyo right now)

Not yet, though it's looking a bit like Brosnan might get a shot to step up. Would be good to get a reliable, experienced backup in, but there is some cover from the back row in Uru and probably Vest continuing. Armistead is definitely on a development deal (same as Slater) and years off super...

EPS aside it's a bit of a fuzzy list because it includes anyone who's contract length they don't know. As far as current squad sizes go, who knows. I think it's defined in the CBA and there's some enforcement of it as part of the salary cap, but I'm pretty sure the Rebels demise last year saw...

I don't know, seems legit to me

The absolute rort of which games count continues. I did like the graphic issued for explaining the decision and ban: Wild to accept that you committed foul play but not apologise or show remorse though
