Most importantly bring back Nuicifora as the coaching co-ordinator & breakdown/forwards consultant (same role as 2010-11), Fisher set-piece, McKay attack, and Phil Blake defense. Nuicifora didn't get credited for the Wallabies strengths during Robbie Dean's tenure, yet he was the major driver...

McKenzie still has unfinished business, just do whatever is required to convince him to return, offer him 3 million dollars a year, this time around provide him with all his demands & give him absolute control over everything.

Tom Hooper is currently injured, I'm predicting he'll be starting 6 at 2023 WC. 122kg lump of a man, incredible athlete. McKellar & Fisher will want him in.

It should be LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) at 6, but he didn't even make the squad. Rennie is slowly losing it.

The Rugby landscape is completely different compared to when Deans was Wallabies coach, Australian Super Rugby teams were strong (had the upper hand over SA sides), the U-20 sides were achieving regular 2nd/3rd placings between 2008-2012, also Scotland, Ireland, England, France, even South Africa, were...

Since Kerevi is not available why not Curtis Rona? 102 kg centre option, worth a shot. I'd also be looking at Sefa Naivalu if I was Rennie.

Paisami lacks the punch of Kerevi and missed a number of big shots in defence that others had to clean up for him. He does not have a good partnership with Ikitau - who has been consistently good all year. I would actually put Perese into 12, as I think he has the closest amount of punch to...

I'd have gone with someone like Curtis Rona at 12 for this tour. Has been playing exceptionally for London Irish & matched up very well against Tuilangi when they played Sale. Much calmer head than Paisami & actually keeps his patterns.. Need a cooler head in there..

Paisami is woeful & consistently costs his team with bad decision-making, ill-discipline, low skill and breaking patterns... A massive liability that Wallabies have carried in the 12 tests he's played, & really no signs of improvement to be seen...

Anyone know what's happening with Vunivalu?

Lolesio is nowhere close to test level. Should not even be in the squad, he has no point of difference to offer as a 10. Derpus is his No.1 apologist, who makes every excuse under the sun for his deer-in-headlights performances week after week. Even Hodge is much better in the role even though...

I forgot to mention Liam Gill - who'd be a much better 7 cover option right now than Fraser McReight. I've said it before, but I do think Australian rugby needs to be pragmatic about this. Having a world-class lock like Skelton not playing because he plays overseas is a farce in my opinion...

Like I said, Australian Rugby & Dave Rennie's management really need to find more effective methods to retain their players, as they really struggle to put out a decent side after a few injuries/suspensions. Koroibete, Vunivalu, White and JOC (James O'Connor), are each massive losses in terms of both skill and...

Imagine if Wallabies were injury free & could select all their overseas based players: 1. Slipper 2. Latu 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Skelton 5. Arnold 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. McMahon 9. White 10. O'Connor 11. Koroibete 12. Paisami 13. Kerevi 14. Petaia 15. Morahan 16. Bell 17. BPA 18. Tupou 19...

I've honestly never seen a weaker Wallabies line-up written on paper (in decades), and likely ever in history.. named against top-tier opposition than this side Rennie has named today. Even the ones under Cheika that conceded 40-50 points weren't near this green & mediocre - especially in the...

Erasmus turned around South Africa from 57-0 to WC champions within just 2 years after overhauling their selection criteria. The Wallabies have far too much valuable experience & young talent playing overseas that aren't available for national selection. If Australian Rugby & Dave Rennie...

Personally, I think this line-up is very lacking, even compared to most previous Wallabies 23's under Cheika. I mean have a look at this 2019 Wallabies line-up (vs England) from only 2 seasons ago: Scott Sio Tolu Latu Allan Ala'alatoa Izack Rodda Rory Arnold David Pocock Michael Hooper Isi...

Actually.. scratch that Dctarget, I'm revising my original post.

This is honestly the most exciting & dynamic All Black line-up I've seen named in years.. So much attacking flair, if the Wallabies approach anywhere close to the amount of unforced errors as they did during the French series.. they are going to get repeatedly scorched by the All Blacks on...

Losing Naisarani will be a massive blow, he's bigger & a lot more physical than Wilson - who was poor during the French series. So potentially an even greater task to match NZ after losing him, and (arguably) Wallabies best player of late in Koroibeite.
