Skelton and Foley I like the squad but feel it will be a big challenge for the bench loosehead. Has Robertson been playing loosehead or tighthead recently?

Props: Ala'alatoa, Gibbon, Robertson, Slipper, Talakai, Tupou Hookers: Fainga'a, Lonergan, Porecki Locks: Frost, Hanigan, Holloway, Neville, Phillip, Skelton Backrow: Gleeson, Hooper, McReight, Samu, Valetini Halves: Gordon, McDermott, White Flyhalves: Donaldson, Foley, Lolesio, Centres: Foketi...

will there be a broadcast or stream? EDIT: Seems not

I think Porecki is #1 and that Fainga'a is only beating out Lonergan due to his size. Fainga'a is good on a good day but shocking on a bad.

I'd agree. I'd like to see us ensure Noah gets good minutes too. Preferably starting but if not then a good 30 off the bench in all games besides maybe Italy where we can try Donaldson/Edmed.

I'm not sure if I've picked up on Foley to be a starter. My interpretation was that Foley is there as experienced cover and to mentor the younger guys

Yep. Was Sapsford

Bell's out of the EOYT. Just had surgery on his foot. So you'd have to think we will call up Sio again surely?

Is albert gone?

I'm just watching the game now and need to call out something absolutely insane when Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) scored. Nick Frost is almost as fast as Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase)..... how is that even possible?

It might very well be time, at least until he gets that out of his game. I'd like to see Campbell given a shot, or maybe Banks bounces back and Kellaway moves back to the wing with Suli on the other.

Interesting though as excluding white the rest play in the back three on defence usually. Whites are bad, as are Foley's the rest though could be largely trying to run down a break

I wonder if Kuenzle can play himself into the squad at 12 from the Aus A squad? I also really like the idea of Frost at 6. The kid is bloody fast and has a reasonable running game for his size (imagine when he puts some more muscle on, could be the next Fardy?)

lol, I have no idea what I was on about here or where 2025 came from

Another thought. Are we losing these matching in the backroom in part? The ABs seemed to dismantle our game plan completely but we also didn't seem to have a plan to target any of their players weaknesses

A few thoughts from last night: 1) It seemed to me that what little attack we had fell apart completely when Foketi went off. I still don't know why they brought Petaia on into the centers instead of Hodge. 2) On Petaia, I'm just not convinced. When was his last great (or good) game in gold...

From memory it seemed to be that the NZ player was holding onto a Wallaby on the ground which really contributed to him going past the horizontal. That being said, a card was probably fair, if only there was one last week too..

3. Valetini (though not to his usual standard) 2. Kellaway 1. Samu

Im a bit worried about the lack of a proper 4th lock option in the 23 with our history of injuries this year and Neville in his first game back. I know Wilson, Valetini or Samu can play there in a pinch but its still a bit concerning. That being said, Holloway, Neville and Frost must just...

I just watched Foz's post game interview. No class what so ever. He is your Michael Cheika. Whitelock I thought was class but Foz was just pure arrogance
