They can all do it with no pressure, but to get up with burning lungs, half dazed & battered for the last ruck, then in 30 seconds, clear your head and get you heart rate down and under control .................... it isn't easy

Is this the first time aus has rolled out no specialist fetcher even on the bench?

With the comments of Perese practising catching bombs etc, the bench makes more sense

* Those underdone due to injury 1. Bell * 2. Porecki 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Skelton 5. Arnold 6. Holloway 7. Tom Hooper 8. Valetini 9. McDermott 10. Gordon 11. Koroibete 12. Kerevi * 13. Petaia * 14. Nawaqanitawase 15. Kellaway * 16. Uelese 17. Slipper 18. Tupou * 19. Frost 20. Gleeson * 21...
