I wouldn't be surprised if he's training with the squad, but it's also likely his presence is to make up for the lack of Indigenous representation in the squad...

3. Porecki 2. Neville 1. Lolesio

Quade, probably… JOC (James O'Connor), I’m not so sure…

As for the Swain incident... I don't want to excuse Swain's reaction, because it was dumb and worthy of a red card... but it should never have come to that with the hair pulling so blatantly obvious watching live, and that close to the sideline it shouldn't have been missed by the officials.

Great debuts from Porecki and Neville... Lolesio, Petaia and Slipper also all with good performances coming in earlier than expected.

I have no doubt he would've wound up back in the NRL if they didn't ban him...

@RugbyReg, Lolesio re-signed back in May as well... https://brumbies.rugby/news/noah-lolesio-resigns-with-brumbies-and-rugby-australia-until-the-end-of-2024-202258

Ed Kennedy re-signs until end of 2024... https://www.rugby.com.au/news/backrower-ed-kennedy-resigns-with-brumbies-until-end-of-2024-2022630

Please, tell us more...

Leota was very impressive straight from returning from injury... still, would be keen to see Wilson at 6 for at least one game - he and Valetini at their best would be fairly destructive.

Petaia covers a lot of positions, and I'm guessing they're keen to see him at fullback...

rugby.com.au jumped the gun and posted it around 1pm, and have since taken it down...

Nigel Ah Wong? That's a name I'd forgotten about... There's a few old Canberra club rugby names in there though... Iona, Noa, Lam.

Wilson actually debuted at 6 against the All Blacks in 2020, and had a pretty fine game... In that same match Samu played at 8, in a role more suited to Valetini, and looked really out of place... Valetini looked somewhat wasted out wide playing at 6 in the French series, and didn't really...

Titi Nofoagatotoa injured?

Yes, currently they can only field a maximum of two foreign players in the match day squad, and as Adam mentions that will tighten up in a couple of years… I would assume in the case of London Irish that Coleman and Rona are not currently considered foreign players.

Tom Ross called up into Australia A…

Tom Ross has been called into the Australia A squad…

No, he dumped him as captain and then dropped him for Sam Carter...

I didn’t see it explicitly mentioned, but Holloway in doubt for first test with calf injury… hence Hanigan’s inclusion in the squad.
