Just a note from today’s Australia U18 squad announcement. I personally am astonished Marshall Le Maître hasn’t made the cut. In the past year or so he has played and captained all teams he has played in, including but not limited to: SHORE’s premiership team, AAGPS 1st, Waratahs U18. Also he was placed in the PONY squad all throughout 2024.
The only reasoning I could place for his non-selection is a personal reduction from the squad.
Regardless of this selection I wish the Aus U18 team the best in the various upcoming games.

Fair comment and he’s been outstanding this year but it can be considered a good thing that just because you make the PONI squad doesn’t automatically get you a jersey.

Could be injured though so really unsure.

Pretty bad for some of the boys who’ve committed themselves to union all year to get dropped when leaguies who played their SG Ball season and schools league get picked in the 3rd and final squad selection and then make the trip. What message are we sending to the boys in future years. Loyalty doesn’t count

Or the mothballed PONI* players didn’t play enough rugby GAMES and came up short? Thought they’d be an auto pick and didn’t prepare/play well enough this week?

13 of those in PONI* all year and didn’t make the cut!
