Aussie Player Exodus

[TSR]

Potentially one of the rare cases these days where the lure of the Gold jersey (and home RWC) was enough to get him to return over the cash.

My gut tells me it means Waugh is going to keep the flood gates closed for overseas players selection, as Philip likely wouldn’t be considered a priority to take one of the spots.

I have a feeling all of this is lining up to the mail that a SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) (Super Rugby Pacific) coach is going to be selected for the Wallabies job with the mantra being “we are making Australian rugby great again from within” and a focus on selecting from the SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) (Super Rugby Pacific) pool.

With regards to the lure of the Gold jersey there have been a bundle of key Wallabies signed in the last couple of weeks who could’ve all got more OS. Frost, Salakai-Loto, Wilson, McReight, Williams, Kaliea. Even Ikitau’s contract is short term, allowing him to remain in the fold. The lure of gold seems to be really delivering at the moment.
