Are we expecting a Christy Doran special leaking the team today?
I would assume Doran leaks this afternoon ahead of the announcement tomorrow morning...

So his ribs are busted? How do you play THP with busted ribs?He looks to be training with the team in NZ.
Perhaps not so bad after all (hopefully)So his ribs are busted? How do you play THP with busted ribs?
There is no such thing, taping up and needles for a dead rubber? nah let someone show they aren't up to itPerhaps not so bad after all (hopefully)
The instagram version of that post includes two more photos, one of Koroibete and one of Tupou. So I assume it means Nonggorr is starting tight head and Tupou is at flyhalf then.I'm not sure what today's tweet from the Wallabies is about, but I'm going to take a guess and assume Tate, T Hooper and Nongorr all starting...

Same speed over 10m, just a lessor kicking gameStill a better option than Foley
Another aspect Tom performed many times and effectively was the link between a lineout and the backline. He really had a tremendous game and it's hard to fathom why some here think otherwise.I actually thought the thing Eddie would've appreciated more than the tackle count about Hooper, particularly in the first half, was his cleanout work at the rucks when we had the ball...
I'm not sure what number he wears going forward, but rather than hanging out wide I think he needs to continue that role of making cleanouts, making lots of tackles, but get in some more carries and up the physicality in defence.
If Eddie continues him in the 7 jersey, I think we need a 6 in the mould of Gleeson, Samu or even Wilson.
And we let them fill out our stadiumLove it how they always make the games the worst possible time here
People simply can't get their heads around the fact he's not the prototypical Australian style fetcher in the mold of Pockock, Smith, Hooper, McReight, Gill, Wilson, Waugh and every other 7 to pull on a jersey for the last 20 years.Another aspect Tom performed many times and effectively was the link between a lineout and the backline.

mate have you seen Tupou's legs? I reckon the bloke could kick loooong.Same speed over 10m, just a lessor kicking game
I just think of the pain from the leg rash as he kicksmate have you seen Tupou's legs? I reckon the bloke could kick loooong.
You're a better option than Foley.Still a better option than Foley
Great comment and about the most solid thing I have read here for a while.Until we.fix the cleanouts and get dominant tackles he is superfluous
