Lonergan got left at home. I guess with BPA going offshore we need to work out which hookers we have based in Australia that can play against the All Blacks and Springboks. I’d be going Fainga, Kaituu and Uelese as well, Lonergan it is not, so I don’t mind seeing what McInerney has to offer in...

Well he's the 3rd Brumbies hooker to get test time this season so obviously Brumbies hookers rock.

All the more reason that he would have been noticed.

C) None of the above For an amateur outfit I'd say Facebook, for a pro one I'd say Twitter.

If it's only the Japan game he's out for we'll get by, Samu is adequate coverage there. If it's longer they'll probably fly McReight in.

Disgraceful behaviour.

It’s usually Bein, but 10 used to show replays so I suspect 9/Stan will do the same

His dad is Michael, that makes Louis Australian. To be clear, I'm happy for Dan Carter's kid to be called a Kiwi under the same circumstances.

Gold. Simply just a matter of disallowing a drop goal attempt prior to the first contest.

I hope I’m not being overly optimistic, but I sense we are at the dawning of a new era. Agreed that we need a winning Wallabies, and I like the idea of allowing more flexibility when it comes to selecting foreign based players, but only when it’s in a position where the developing players are...

I notice England are avoiding playing the All Blacks as usual. Cats.

That wouldn't affect his ability to tour, only to get back into Qld.

Yep

Covid was a bit of a stumbling block for the latter version too.

Quite possibly. Having read a few articles over the past few days, my read on it is that the O/s players in the actual squad are earmarked for RWC2023 duties, but other European based players may be called in ad lib, KB (Kurtley Beale) would fall into that category. I also read that Rennie is keen to try...

You know what, when I typed in that team I didn’t even notice there weren’t any Brumbies in it. I made it clear what the intent of that team was, it still is not a preferred Wallabies side, and I was wrong about the concept anyway.

Nothing against him as a player, but like Hansen I don't think they are going to be handing Meehan a test debut without a really good reason. I'd have him as the break glass in case of emergency option, I don't think Phipps will be getting a start on the tour either, but if there are a couple...

If we call in a European player as cover for fullback it will almost certainly be Kurtley. I didnt mind Mack Hansen as a player but we can’t go selecting fringe players for test matches just because they have another passport. BR won’t like this proposition but might take some comfort in...

Yes - 32 + 4

‘My’ goal was to finish the year at #4. Not counting baby chooks just yet but they may well outperform that.
