Good looking squad! It's been nice to watch some of these guys in Super Rugby. Is Maurice Longbottom injured?

that barbarians team will be interesting. I wonder if it means each team provides a few extra squad members so they get some game time?
I was thinking the same thing. And is it a possible opening for a few last minute “left field” candidates from outside the squad?

With Uru not making the wallaby squad I wonder if he was approached to make the 7s team.

I rate Uru, good Powerhouse boy. But does not have the game for 7s. Kerevi should not be in the squad either, does not offer anything valuable to the Aus 7s side.

Both provide a point of difference which our team really lacks (outside of Mo Longbottom). Former Pama Fou had it, but not sure if he still does. Quadzilla has it too.

In saying that, I don't think Kerevi will make it. He's only going to be used as a shock weapon off the bench but I can't see him cutting mustard.

Seru, who grew up in Fiji, has the exact game for 7s ala any of those big Fijian forwards. Size, speed, skill, work ethic. He'd kill it

Any Idea when they are naming the Barbarians?
The Aussie team comes across as a "safe" bet no real outliers / game breakers apart from Kerevi.
