Old mate Fines-Leleiwasa Wissak.
Haha IFL.
In my defense I didn’t add the bracketed part, very funny to whoever the mod was to do that. Deserved itIt could be just a case of him wanting game time. Force have a solid no9 combo in Prior and FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) (Fergus Lee-Warner).
Last I saw him he was in a moon boot, so doubt he'd have been available for selection.Fines was to be named but he is apparently keen to declare for Fiji. So they've been caught short.
I think they're much better off playing major roles in the Oceania cup side than filling out a squad herewould have been a different look if the Under 20's were included
Kalani Thomas, Lucas Ripley, Mac Grealy might have been handy looking towards next year and future world cups.

be happy for a few others in the 20's to be used at Aust A level as well.FMD. Your UQ bias on full display here talent finder
Only genuine chance I see for a World Cup bolter would be Ripley. The other guys would need monumental u20/AusA/superrugby2023 seasons to even come into the equation and unseat the other sure thing candidates.
Australia likes making 7s don't we. No Wilkin, Reimer, Wright, Hardwick. Probably our most in depth position.

Nah i noticed strachan In games this year as he has come along well this season and had some good games. Did not pick him but I think good choice as we certainly need fullback depth. And yes last season I certainly did not rate him!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.
Or PasitoaJust noticed no Carter Gordon either.
