Australia A - Back on the Cards

[qwerty51]

The starting team looks a lot better imo

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

5 capped Wallabies in the starting side and 1 one the bench.

Must be better than the first game. Playing a tougher team at home. Let's go

Gleeson at 8? has he played there before? I liked what I saw of him last week.

Yes. He's had time there for Manly in Shute Shield and between 6,8 for Tahs in trials.

Big test for him though

Is Andy Muirhead injured?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

That's not a bad team.

Yep and solid bench as well. I don’t think on paper the team that far behind Fiji but where fiji has the major advantage is on Ben Darwin’s cohesion theory with so many players from the drua and use to playing together.

In case looking forward to the match.

I'm not as positive as some. Hugh Sinclair at lock and Hudson Creighton at 13 are a worry to me.

Whilst I noted the amount of Wallabies in the squad there are some fringe Super Rugby players also which can be an issue.

Dunno I think Hugh Sinclair been a very consistent super rugby performer. Wallaby material no, but definitely think calling him fringe super rugby player (not saying you did) would be incredibly disrespectful for how he has performed over the last 2 seasons.

He's a better lock than Uru.

 

[liquor box]

He's a better lock than Uru.

Not as much fun to say his name when drunk. Seru Uru is difficult after quite a few beers, very slurry name.

 

[Confucius Say]

Did any of this team play their best? I didn’t see the game v Samoa.

Is Andy Muirhead injured?

I don’t think an injury has been confirmed, but Henry came in for him

 

[KOB1987]

Yeah I'm not the least bit concerned about Sinclair at lock, that's his position. This is essentially our C side, he will do well.

Im pretty sure Muirhead is back in Canberra

Just a size thing for me. Not necessarily pointed at Sinclair, but the general lack of big boys available. He’s a back rower starting at lock and the bench lock is a back rower too.
To say the Fijians are big boys is an understatement. There is going to be some sore bodies tomorrow.

there are sore bodies every Sunday morning throughout the world ! not always Rugby related

Certainly are.

Rugby thread though. Can start another thread for the Dark Arts of your personal life if you want.

Who’s getting called up this week to the wallabies main squad.

perfect time for Seru Uru to replace Cade Neville.

Jock Campbell get a look to fill in for a concussed Petaia and injured Perese?
