Plenty of players available and other would be excited at the opportunity to show themselves before Super Rugby pre season.
Ryan Lonergan
Edmed
Donaldson
Mark N (Nawaqanitawase)
Gibbon
Pollard
Gleeson
Tom Hooper
Holz
Harris
These are just the first names that came to mind and I know it's Tah heavy. Please add other names. But these guys have been around the Wallabies, 7s, Aus A squad already.

Someone remind me - when does Gamble become eligible? Could he be in the mix? Similarly Jahrome Brown?
Keen to see Kuenzle also get a run if fit. Could be another option at 10. Always thought he was at least as good as Noah at the Brumbies.

I asked this a while back about Gamble and I think its next year.
Jahrome Brown has been great for the last couple of years. Very abrasive player with an engine for days. Gamble would be a top 3 Openside straight away with Hooper and McReight. Hope the Tahs can lock him up as who knows Hoopers movements post RWC.
Kuenzle needs steady time in the position which I hope he gets at the Force and under Cron. Aus A could be a great place to get some mins.

I thought Stewart was going to be 10 - Stewart 10 and Kuenzle 12 could be quite handy

I think Stewart has looked a far better player when in the 12 jersey at the professional level.
He's a steady attacking player and a very good defensive player. I know he said he wanted to play more 10 but part of me wonders how much of that was to get out of the Reds as there was a smell around that.
Simon Cron knows a lot more than I do about Rugby and has a few options on the table.

I'd agree with you however my understanding is that Stewart was interested in the Force based on gaining further opportunity at 10. Is Cron the guy to get a 10 out of Stewart? He is certainly a fabulous rugby player and if he can settle there he could be sensational. That said, I could never support him in the 10 role at the Reds.

Will be interesting to see what the coaching team looks like. Michael Todd has headed to Edinburgh so they'll at least need a new defence coach, I also wouldn't be surprised if the Force and Brumbies didn't want to send any coaching staff with new head coaches coming in at both sides (and the Brumbies apparently not sending a tour).
With Tim Sampson linking up with the Rebels I won't be surprised if he pops up. There might also be some opportunity to get a few of the Wallabies coaches involved with no tests on during that period, particularly given it's the Wallabies systems they want them all playing.

Currently playing for Pau. Tahs were the worst team in the comp at the time, there's no doubt he would have worn the 15 jersey for Aus at some point this year if he stayed.
