Watching barbarians vs world XV and Kerevi has gone off early, haven’t heard any more detail yet Quade looking good, also Harry Hockings very impressive

Not having Robertson and Medrano killed the force, games are won up front and scrum got killed can’t believe Cron thought it was a good idea to play Anstee in the second row with 2 young props

Would prefer LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) over Hanigan but would have Leota ahead of him if fit (as well as Holloway)

Skelton will be one of the first picked I think if you have Frost in second row and Holloway at 6 with him it is quite well balanced

Banks broke his arm again and I don't think would be in the picture anyway. I think we can manage without Arnold but would like to see Sio there

Could be worse, we could have Monty Ioane who is not eligible and cannot catch a ball

This is pretty much my team, except I am tempted to leave out Hooper for McReight unless Hooper really steps up come finals time. I like Gleeson as well but agree Holloway better balance at 6 and Samu suits that #20 spot perfectly And I want to see Carter Gordon given a crack in the Rugby...

Force have apparantly signed Harry Potter for next year. Great pick up to add depth and competition to outside centre and wings https://www.theroar.com.au/2023/05/22/exclusive-salakaia-loto-signs-with-rebels-to-rocket-into-rwc-mix-as-two-leave-force-bring-home-another-aussie/

Hard to leave out Vosayaco the way he is going Would be a strong bench though, with Koteka, Kalapu, Pulu etc

Skelton playing in the European Cup final tomorrow would be good to watch. Kerr-Barlow starting at 9 who is also wallaby eligible, wonder if Eddie will be taking a look at him, must be playing alright to get them to the final. Actually just saw TKB scored 2 tries in the quarter and 2 tries...

Surely they should organize something. Even if they just put together an Australia A vs Australia B scenario to get some more game time into some players. They could do them as curtain raisers to the Sydney and Melbourne tests

Tupou would be the one player I would leave until the last possible minute. Eg you pick him in the World Cup squad and start him against Portugal, see how he goes and if good enough he plays quarter final. That Portugal game is 1st October so still over 4 months away. Not saying that is...

Folau Fainga'a put himself back in contention, straight back from injury and playing well. Certainly knows his way to the try line. A few more good games for him and he will be in the squad I think. Hopefully this gives hope that some of the other injured players can make an immediate...

Great win. I was really worried he was still coming back to the penalty after 30 odd phases Was certain the chiefs were going to score on the wing a couple of times at the end there but the try savers were sensational, lynagh in particular

Love some of these players we have, Tizzano, spink, Williams, Mataele all awesome. Stewart has been great and massive having Fainga'a back.

Agree. I honestly believe Eddie just included him in the last squad as some stupid sort of mind games towards Rory

I will be happy if Swain and Hanigan are left out. I am concerned with bringing too many overseas players in at the last minute and expecting them to perform and fit in to the systems etc. For example a Richie Arnold. I think that would be too big a risk. At least Skelton has had some...

Injuries don't help especially when you have a team with limited depth. I would like to think if everybody was available then Wells wouldn't get near the team because you would end up with 6. Anstee 7. Tizzano and 8. Naisarani. Then you still have Pugh, Warren-Vosayaco, Koteka/Callan etc

The performance by both fly halves today was great news for Australian rugby. I think both should certainly be picked ahead of Foley and JOC (James O'Connor). If Quade breaks down again then good to know we have 2 good options ready to go

Surely McReight makes the World Cup squad, this is one campaign where we definitely need 2 open sides if we pick Hooper
