Bit surprised to see it pushed back to May but it's probably good to have it closer to the World cup.

Australia U20s confirm preliminary squad for Rugby Championships U20s
Bloomfield is strong chance to start. He was pretty good last year when thrown in after the De Luttis injury. Wouldn't be surprised to see them use Alatini off the bench like the Brumbies U19s did to great effect.Any views on strongest team from that squad? Bit surprised to not see Hooper, Finau, Toufan make it from the prelim squad.
From the limited sample size I have seen, would have thought something like:
1. Barrett
2. Edwards
3. Alatini
4. McPherson
5. Cordukes
6. Di Staso
7. Liddy
8. Harley
9. Nelson
10. Gray
11. Tipene-Grace
12. McCloud
13. Goldsborogh
14. Leahy
15. Staniforth
