like most players - you’d think hes gone after World Cup. All the agents align contracts to expire after the World Cup.

Plays for the Force.
Thought he was English. Resident now?

Couple odd picks but overall pretty good.
Thank God Vunivalu is getting some Rugby. Frost starting is also a good move.

Callan for sure. Would have said Kuenzle but we are out of 12s currently so it makes sense

Pone Fa'amausili must be a load thing. Would have thought he would have played all 3 even if all off the bench.

Dylan Pietsch is another. Was one of the best throughout the PAC cup. 2 winger starting that Aus Rugby has put money into so I get that.
I know there were guys left out that may be with the squad

Nah Callan put in some really strong performances for the Force.

WTF, why wasn't the 3rd string Brumbies 7 picked??!!
Pietsch only got in the "AUS A" squad last time because it was closer to a AUS B or C team. He did some good things for sure, and will likely get some game time, but he is behind Daugunu, Vunivalu and Marky M (Nawaqanitawase) for sure

Given all the banter about who should and shouldn't be in or out of our wallabies and AUST "A" (b,c) teams surely it indicates that we need a serious NRC level competition.
At least we could then compare players against each other directly instead of parochial state lines.
Wallabies could then revert to a "Best 23 selected" team instead of a development operation, which would occur at NRC and Super Rugby levels.

Stop making sense @TalentFinder it's not what Rugby in this country is about

Agreed, but a lot cheaper for a union millions of dollars in debt to send 30 players to japan for 3 weeks than paying 8 teams for 7 weeks.

Well where ever we have spent our limited $$$$ so far hasn't worked out too good when it comes to Wallaby world standings so maybe we need to be brutal and work out a new path to get better value.

I’m surprised they could find 8 more Brums to represent in the As
