LANGGGIIIIII, having played with him since u10’s, honestly couldn’t of happened to a more humble and kind person. Guarantee he will grow more impressive from this experience!

That explains it then, Tuttle seems likely but Grant would make sense with the NSW fly-halves. I guess Jeans is the choice if they want someone younger without drawing from the 20's, but I'm not sure he's done enough.

Uelese, must be thinking he is only 24 months off playing for Samoa with that squad
Grant english qualified so doubt he'd forfeit it for 10 mins off the bench for Aus A

Hopefully it's a case of take some time to rest your body, he just resigned for the Rebels so his not going anywhere.
Just noticed no Carter Gordon either.

Looks good, should be a genuine chance at beating all 3 sides. Only changes I'd have is Edmed over Donaldson and Muirhead over Nawaqanitawase
yep, both very justified those selections. Would be fine with either of those 10s. I do get the feeling they'll give Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) the most game time to bring him along. Muirhead would have a fairly strong case over Daugunu to be honest.
Personally I am a little surprised by Strachan's selection. I barely see him as Super Rugby quality.

Maybe Edmed gets the nod just having spent most time there recently.
Distinct lack of big bodies, might get eaten up by the bigger sides.
He did well in Fantasy, not that counts for anything.

Only thing that makes sense there for me is that they really want to use Donaldson at 10 and Hodge at 13 so Strachan comes in as fullback cover by default.

Christy Doran has Michael McDonald as the Force player and Halfback left out:
Lightblue
Arch Winning (36)
Or Donaldson gets more time at 10 since his injury.
Both good 10’s.

Tim Horan (67)
Damn & Force wanna release him. Rough.

It could be just a case of him wanting game time. Force have a solid no9 combo in Prior and FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner).

Peter Sullivan (51)
FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) is a lock who has signed for Worcester and wont be back at the Force, you are thinking of Issak Fines-Leleiwasa.
No suggestion/discussion of wanting to release McDonald, he's a WA boy. Prior is on his last legs (if he has any left) and McDonald showed how good he was at the end of the season .
