Strange that a Queenslander is getting the call-up for an injury cover position.

Not sure it is the right thread but a few AUS super rugby sides are looking for 9's next season...

Strange that you think his home state is relevant, beyond it being a member of the commonwealth of Australia.

Have you not heard the saying 'it's only a rort if you're not involved'?
Rest assured if the coaching staff was predominantly NSW based,and a NSW player was called up.
The exact same comments would be made,just from different posters.
It's the way of the world......

A few is a little bit of an understatement. Burgess, Genia, McKibbon and White all gone for sure. Matt Lucas is off overseas when he could have potentially been a good option. And there's a small rumour about Mattheson being released from the Force that I don't buy, but has to be considered.

So who is in Team Rehab to warrant another #9 being called up? Tuttle or Nucifora?
It would be a fairly tough gig to get up to speed with all the patterns and structures that the team have developed and perfected over their time together in preparation for the Oceania Tournament, training camps and the Australian Barbarians game, particularly for a #9.

I see both Tuttle and Nucifora named in the 23. Is Fines actually actually enroute to Italy?
Sounds like they may be in the market for a Centre/Wing for Quick (if he is injured) and maybe another loose forward if Fakaosilea is crook.
Fainga'a starting is not a "change". He started as #2 against Italy.

Channel 502 tomorrow:
12.23 (AM) England v France
2.23 Samoa v Italy
4.23 South Africa v AUSTRALIA
Replays same channel, same order at 4.00 PM, 5.30 & 7.00
Disappointed NZ's match not being shown, IIRC Ireland beat us to the semis last year so good chance to make ammends.

Selections are going to how we thought they would after the team for Italy was picked—play their best team in all the pool matches and roll the dice to make the finals.
This was the NSW U20 strategy used by Tim Rapp for the Canberra tournament.
Quick had a recurrence of his injury he suffered in Australia, although all the right things were done in rehab and he seemed ready to go.
Tyson Davis replaces him as he did early in the Italy game. Ironically his good mate from Barker and the Rats, Harry Jones, reportedly (in this thread) came back from injury in second grade last week.
The other report in this thread, that Fines had flown over, is not substantiated.
But reports from squirrels in Italy about Lolo F being in a moon boot seem to be confirmed by his absence from two matches.
It is a shame that the excellent Ollie Kamp, who can play in all three backrow positions has not been given a gig in the three games.
Since I believe that Pleash is injured, Kamp is the only available player that hasn't made a matchday squad.

^^^ Harry Jones has not been recorded in Rugby Link on any Rats Team Sheet since Round 6 on 25 April (Rats v Highlanders).
So it is possible that we have 3 of our Squad in Team Rehab:
Pleash, Fakaosilea, and Quick.
Sounds like we need a Wing/Centre and a Pot Plant on the plane for Italy. Can probably cover for a broken Loose Forward with Ollie Kamp.

It was still 35 degrees in Italy Tuesday - last night our time.
Reports from squirrels say we can't appreciate how muggy it is and therefore how slippery the ball - and explains why some of the passes are suddenly sub-standard, though OK when there were areas on the ball not affected.
It's the same for all teams - I thought that some of the handling by England v Wales wasn't that hot.
It will be strange hoping that England wins well over France when it is usually the other way around for me, and i won't be hoping that Ireland beats NZ for a change, but life is strange sometimes.
