He injured his shoulder in the semi-final. Don't know how severe it was but he came off pretty much straight away.

You reckon? I'm not so sure. These tests are pointless for him, especially when he needs time away, he's a consummate professional who doesn't need to play against Japan A to get back into shape. Run him off the bench with Samu/McReight starting to get him match fitness.

Or let him come back through the Tahs Pre Season if he is not ready for it yet. No doubt his body will benefit from the break as well. McReight and Samu have shown more than enough to be comfortable with our depth in the position. Maybe another 7 goes or have Gleeson as the backup.

TBH I am not convinced we will see Hooper again.
I know the lure of RWC etc but sometimes his ailment can be a long term rectification program and every day away gives his competition more opportunity to move past him

Corey Toole playing for the brumbies this weekend, if your going to take someone as a development player surely the 7's player of the year would be ahead of a kid still at school.

Isaac Henry's the only one with any signficiant experience at 13 as far as I can tell.
Reckon he'd be a good shout as well, has looked good with limited game time at the Reds.

Henry has played at 13 a bit this year for Wests and has heaps of potential, but Hudson Creighton is an out and out 13 though and looked good there for Aus A previously.
I had thought Ripley might have snuck in given the lack of centres at the moment, but I'm guessing Kuenzle being fit probably ended that.

Creighton would also be the incumbent Aus A No 13 if I'm not mistaken. He will most likely get the spot initially.

All bets are off… give the job to the guy who stands up and earns it.

I guess we'll see. Would have thought a good Queensland boy would be acceptable in the 13 spot? On the subject of good Queensland boys, where's Josh Flook? Is he injured and out of commission?

Dislocated his shoulder back in May, don't think there was ever any chance of him playing again this year after that

I thought Hudson was good for Aus A previously, showed more than he had so far in SRpac. Hopefully for the Wallabies depth he can keep it going into next year.

How has Daugunu been performing?
Not dominating as you’d like at club level.

Which is a polite way of saying a bit poo.
