The Aus squad met Cron for a brief camp, as a greater squad, for a couple of days after the super 20's final and then for 2 days training before the Oceania Championships. NZ I know for a fact had their first camp in Dec 2016 and then a couple more this year. The Kiwis have 2 players currently with Super Rugby obligations not in the team, how many do we have? Some posters here say throw it in, give it up. That sure isn't the way to identify and develop players that have the talent to maybe make it. The aim should be for all Aus to support it, by that I mean give the U20 coach the right to draw on any eligible player for all training activities, identity the players or wider squad earlier and prepare the boys properly like all the other countries do. Samoa who had boys from Aus, NZ and Samoa in their team, spent more time together than the Australian team.
