I’m not sure why we would be wearing anything other than our first kit unless someone has some mail that the Boks are going to turn up in yellow. If we are wearing the ‘away’/indigenous design kit that is normally flagged in advance. As for the result, I agree it will be close and I think we...

They could probably have written a better headline that portrays him as being eager to enhance his future prospects for the Wallabies by playing in the best club comp in the world, rather than making it sound like he has some entitlement and had a dummy spit about not getting selected in the...

If they were all in the 23 I would agree with you but only 2 of them are. I suspect the idea is to give them minutes in the 5 games between now and the RWC. I guess Eddie wants those guys training with the squad rather than at a gym back home and it seems the squad for these first 2 games is...

Regardless of the opinions around their selections, a fun fact is there are two pairs of brothers selected in the same jerseys for the Wallabies and the junior Wallabies on the same day. I wonder if that’s ever happened before.

I pondered on that post for a while. I can find Quade, who I think needs to prove he is able to perform at the top level now, and Kerevi on the bench, which seems somewhat conservative. That is all.

I’ll be happy to see him go well, being a Central West NSW product.

Its Lachlan Lonergan. And probably McInerney and Pollard behind him.

Not necessarily the scrap heap, just parked till after the RWC.

They used to play in the 7s circuit a bit in the 90s. I don't think they were an official 'team' like the Classic Wallabies, I remember playing against Dave Carter and Richard Tombs amongst others once.

He's been a standout the last couple of seasons, but at 8.

I'm not being critical of either, it's the apparent complete omission of Holloway from even the bench that leaves us a bit undermanned in the lineout department. If Doran's lineup is correct Frost is the only notable lineout target in the starting side, he is relatively inexperienced at this...

We haven't had a #6 who has for a very long time, Fardy was probably the most recent. The issue is that the omission of a lineout specialist for a player who the Brumbies didn't even use in the lineout in the final leaves us a bit thin in that department.

Yep there was GPS 1, 2 & 3, NSW Schools and a shadow side, and Australian Schoolboys. That was it. From memory U18s not at school were still eligible for the rep sides but had to have done the school certificate (year 10). In my year we went a long way in the Waratah Shield which were mostly...

Definitely JS White at Kings

Around 5pm tomorrow I believe, unless you are in the camp that believes Christy Doran has already announced it. I’m not saying he’s wrong but a couple of selections seem a bit odd such as Hodge at 12 when Foketi is available and Holloway being left out when Frost is the only noted line out...

Whilst I don't mind the design of the Boks away jersey there, presumably they are most likely to wear it when they are playing Ireland, and that one probably clashes even more with theirs. That said I don't know which team is given home status for that match.

Yeah I was going to re-reply to Wilson, I think his (and your) recollection of events may have been more accurate than my own. I had him as a Kellaway type of improver but having scoured the wiki universe it seems he was back a good while longer than I had recalled.

Definitely improved overseas. I think he was playing for the rebels before he left. Came back to the Tahs after 4-5 years overseas, maybe a year or two later selected for Wallabies.

He left as a good player and came back as a shit one. I know like those in the list above he didn’t get selected from overseas, but the bloke who has come back as a far better player compared to when he left is Lalakai Foketi.
