Aussie Player Exodus

I prefer “Formed in the prestigious country of Queensland”

But I thought this was a bit harsh...

In the USAP, Jordan Petaia had no solo explosion and creativity, but also an international dimension that rejected the ambitions of the club in the Top 14.

Good to have him back in Union. If he’s good enough, we’ll pick him.

Certainly if he can stay fit he will be an easy pick for the wallabies squad
His versatility is great with pace, size and power but would also love for the wallabies to pick and stick him in a spot
Whether 13 or wing

A good thing for Wallabies depths if he is fit and in form come 2027 RWC, hopefully this is just one season before joining a Aus Super Rugby team next year

French season finishes in June.

 

[Major Tom]

How long did he sign for?
Edit: 9 months.
Perfect for RA.

Darby Lancaster off too Newcastle Red Bull… that’s such a disappointing outcome for him and Australian rugby, he had a great year last year and showed enormous potential in 7s system as well..

With T. Wright ruled out for the season and ongoing uncertainty at fly-half, you'd have to think Will Harrison or Isaac Lucas — assuming he isn't lured back to Japan — should be having a hard think about getting back into the Wallabies mix.

It’s especially compelling when you consider how many of their teammates from the 2019 Junior World Cup have become key players in the current setup.

I always rated Harrison for his game management at 10 — calm under pressure with a reliable and consistent boot. Unfortunately, injuries held him back at the Tahs but he seems to have had a good run in Japan and there is still no stand out currently for Wallabies at 10.

As for Lucas, he always had a bit of that Damian McKenzie flair. If he was to commit to Australia he'd be a seriously interesting option at fullback heading towards 2027.
