Who has been left out that you would describe as being terrible omissions Scrubber?
Dempsey and Hanagan are the token Tahs.
No farking way are they better prospects than RHP and Mafi.
Other than that it isn't a bad squad.

Whoops on Mafi. my fuckup. RHP should still be there for Dempsey though.

Yeah, I am not sure about Dempsey either, but he was on the Nov tour so he is on the conveyor belt at the moment, RHP can expect the same in Nov IMHO.
I think Dempsey's point of difference is his real pace. But I don't think we will see more that about 3 minutes at the backend of a test from him at best this June

You are just wrong in thinking I was a great advocate of Gill in the Wallaby jersey.
Just another misread by yourself and worthy of a personal uppercut
All good
Dempsey has missed a lot of this season through injury but was certainly better than RHP last year.
I agree that RHP has come on well this year but they're also not like for like options.
It probably explains why Godwin has got another crack ahead of Meakes who has been in stronger form.
I'd like to see Powell get one start at least.
BH therein lies the fallacy of the back row selection imo. Dempsey and RHP are quite different players, but RHP is more like for like with Fardy who is being replaced. Because Dempsey has missed a lot of the season and has effectively been replaced at No 6 for the Tahs by Hanigan (who is looking the goods), I strongly believe RHP should have been in the squad in Dempsey's spot.
Regardless of Godwin's spot on the EOYT, he is not playing good rugby. I'd prefer DP who could cover 10 also in a pinch as well as 12.
