Anyways, he’s no longer available and soon neither will JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor)…

So Schmidt is going to have to start backing Lynagh or Edmed, or whoever else is left…

HMP? Meredith? Debreczeni?
Umm, Joe (and then Les) can still call Noah back from overseas - new policy, remember. We all assumed the Giteau law was dropped to allow players like Skelton, Gleeson, and Hooper to be called back from overseas, perhaps it was just to ensure Noah was still available.


GAGR admin, prepare for server meltdown if that happens...

We don't even know when he is going to be healthy to play, just had neck surgery a couple of months ago
Regular reminder that just about all of our OS players were already eligible to be selected under the Giteau laws, and over many years, and many coaches, they have not been selected.
Due to the whole process being a big of a rigmarole

Surely he needs to back Lynagh, otherwise why throw him in there vs the Lions?
I think this is the way, I'd prefer Noah. His just a little more experienced. But not being in Oz, Tom's going be the man with Dono as bench 5/8.

Cupboards a bit bare at the moment.

Donaldson's not even in the squad is he? I do agree, I prefer Jorgo on the wing to be honest and the way they use their 15 as a playmaker it might suit a player like Donno

- Tane starting at 10 this weekend with Gordon at 9, JOC (James O'Connor) on the bench
- Toole drops out of the 23, with Daungunu on the wing and Flook on the bench

I just trust Jorgo in defence over Toole and Potter on last weeks showing. He finds a better position to defend from, technically sounder and in form as a Wallaby Winger.

I hope they look at a guy like Scott Sio as mentioned by others. 59 starts 66 games for Exeter... Must be fit and going alright.

I love the out of the box thinking, but I think I'd still prefer Noah at 10 over Sio. ;)
