No idea. I guess they might of made mention in the announcement if he were.Not that I think he's in with a chance but is he Aus eligible?
Looks good to me, only big question is who's our 12, don't know if Feliuai is it. Maybe Vaihu. I think Ili is going for another year too.So next year???

Matt effin Proctor. I absolutely hated that guy at the hurricanes. I thought he was an absolute ref botherer, winging and whineing at the weakest things. To be fair it might have also been that he scored so many tries against usMatt Proctor signed for two seasons.
TH is not a worry, lock is. Agree with 9 and 12 too. Maybe bring back Joe Powell on the cheap9 & 12 are my only positions where I'm concerned about the best XV. Maybe a backup 10 option as well, Mason isn't ready and I don't have faith Jooste.
Otherwise I think it's just a bit of depth at one or two positions (tighthead lock, maybe openside flanker) that bring me pause.

I predict Smith to go big 2024I did mean locks capable of playing like heavy fuckers, rather than tighthead props, I don't mind relying on Smith/Tualima as bench options generally, but we'll be pretty light on if Canham gets injured or regresses.
I'd love to have Bip back for Halfback tbh.
If we’re not recruit a world class 9, I would stay with Louwens, he has 2 years of experience with Gordon, they know each others game. That counts for a lot
Rebels U18s to take Brumbies tomorrow in a trial. View attachment 16696
1st match, the season opener. I might get to Quins early to see this match before the Dewar Shield match.Is this the 1st match of the u/18 championship or just a prac match?
