He was on the Brumbies bench for the two matches White was injured...

I think HMP will be on the bench. Can fit anywhere in the backline other than 9.

The aussie baabaas are back this yr playing a prac game v the 20's. Would love to see the baabaas play an indigenous wallaby xv every yr in the july test window

That’s a good game, the u20s usually blitz it due to cohesion v 1 training session together but the Barbarians are fully grown men who will test them physically. Don’t remember the year but the match at either NSO or Chatswood about a decade or so was a goodie.

Chatswood Oval. Was close for a about 20 mins then the U20s went through them from memory. Definitely a good workout for the set piece.

Barbarians to play U20s. I expect the U20s to win by 50. I know it’s grown men but it’s also country rugby and 2nd graders in there.

Correct - the previous week was his best game of the year, 3 or 4 try assists. No suggestion there that he was burning out.

What value is seen in this sort of fixture for the U20s out of curiosity? Is it seen as simply a "a combinations warm up" or is it meant as a genuine exposure to a higher level of physicality? And there doesn't seem to be any prestige involved in it for the Barbarians side.

could we even fill a indigenous wallaby XV?
the indigenous rugby players I know of in super rugby haven’t been playing this year (Beale, Sorovi, Aubrey)
im stumped at your suggestion. Thinking of 15 First Nations to give
There’s a few qpr premier grade starters in there

Yeah, I'm sounding harsh in how I describe them but the spread of ability is pretty wide in that squad.
Iv'e thought the same thing about the Indigenous team and it might be hard but could be a cool concept to raise the profile of the game at least. Add in their Pietsch, Muirhead, Goddard then would be cool to see some of the 7s guys like Longbottom play.

It doesn't have to be an all stars game like the nrl & we have to start somewhere

I would like to see Aubrey go against these guys considering he wasn't picked to go away with the squad.

i think rugby has been at the forefront or aboriginal recognition - I feel like our game was first to do welcome to country and haves indigenous strip, but I am unsure on my claim
but we are still severely lacking at with engaging in this part of the community… unsure how to increase player participation with rugby league & AFL strongholds outback.
