Interesting that most of the Aussie A blokes are included. I thought it might be a bit too much.

Interesting list, there were a couple of others at training last week who mustn’t have the cut.

Heremaia Murray is a surprising inclusion, played 3 matches for Crusaders this year

good to see Kohan Herbert have a crack as well, he is good enough for a contract somewhere.

 

[PhilClinton]

Yeh it's definitely a change to prior years and that is good.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Main Japan game against Wild Knights is 4/11, first Australia XV game is 8/11. That's going to be interesting......

It's possible some of these guys play the warm up/practice match only before heading over, but if they're playing to the wallabies systems then at least a few of them (Lynagh, Canham and Nasser) have spent plenty of time in camp this year so should be up to speed.

 

[Sword of Justice]

That is a bloody deep squad. Don’t want to speak immodestly of my team or jinx ourselves but frankly we will kill, destroy or simply humiliate every other Aus team next year as well as most of the Kiwi ones.

Does it seem weird that the forwards seem to be listed in position order but Max Craig is listed with the backrowers?

 

[TSR]

Also - is Vunivalu injured?

@Dismal Pillock feedback welcome

RhinoRugby's final contribution?

 

[Dctarget]

no Lachie Anderson?

Anyone know if this is streamed? Looks fun, good luck to the boys. Nice trip for the Aus A boys too.

 

[Cole]

No Jock Campbell either, interesting some wallaby xv squad members and not others

 

[Adam84]

Vunivalu, Daugunu & Ryan all rehab.

Surprising Lachlan Anderson isn’t available, he was training in key roles last week.

 

[WoodysRFC]

Seems a bit short on backrowers and outside backs.

 

[KOB1987]

Nor Blyth. It's probably an indication of what the actual make up of the first Australia XV team will be.

maybe but i think Lynagh and HMP are the only 10s for the Aussie XV

 

[KOB1987]

That is true but I think I read Lynagh will play the first Reds game to get match fit, and potentially either Edmed or Donaldson will drop back to Aus A along with some others.

Could there be a list we won't see of Wallaby XV players on standby for the Wallabies? Get the kibosh put on them for these games.

Pretty sure the wallabies standbys will come from the wallabies squad, would be arse backwards to have guys train with the wallabies to play for Australia XV and guys train with Australia XV to be on standby for the wallabies.
