If they're good enough, that's 30 potential future Brumbies in the Junior Wallabies squad...
Pathways working a treat.

I wouldn't have been surprised if Luke Reimer was named in the squad.

Given they're also talking about Jorgensen, and referring to a comment from Gilmore, I think it's a safe bet to assume it's Australia A v Japan XV....

Tim Horan (67)
You'd assume Japan? Weird to take him over if not.

It's what I assumed too, but thought best to check as these aren't test matches... lazy journalists.

Wayne Smith suggested that Edmed, Donaldson and Hamish Stewart would all start one match at 10

Out of 12’s?
Just worth noting that the Japanese side to run out v New Zealand this weekend is pretty much exactly the same as the one that faced Australia A in that last game. Probably heightens our performance in the series when you consider it was basically their test team

Nawaqanitawase to start?

I mean yeah, not sure why people were dismissing the Japanese side (if they even were?) It was their only matches since the France series so of course they were playing their best.

And they only lost by 7 points.... New Zealand named a pretty strong team.

Pretty good.
Id start Pietsch over Anderson and are you thinking Toole is in the Wallabies squad? I think we might see JOC (James O'Connor) in the 12. Don’t see him making the Wallabies but he’s handy to keep playing if something happened.

Pietch over Anderson fair enough, yeah just got a sneaky feeling Toole will get a gig. The old man used to always say there is no substitute for raw pace in any form of footy

Given Aus A has (understandably) become more of a developmental proving ground than a genuine 'next best' XV, I'm not sure we'll see O'Connor take the spot of one of the younger guys.

I’d agree normally but just thinking in a RWC year you might use it as a wider squad for that. You’re probably right though.
