Simmer down big wheels. Big difference between Tom Hooper and Ned Hanigan. Not exactly sure Uru sets the world alight either.
Think we're better off with Williams at 6 and Skelton in at lock.

Because Uru is mentioned? Or have I missed something?

I'll bite.
Hooper has been up and down in a Wallabies jersey but his good games have been very much up to scratch, in between injuries. Uru worries me as he hasn't put his best foot forward in the more physical games vs NZ teams at super level. On paper he does complement the rest of the predicted side well but he needs to roll up his sleeves to put on the type of performances he's so far reserved for weaker opposition.

No no, not just Uru and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it but it's funny to watch the QLD fans loyalty to their franchises players and speed to not rate ones from other sides that I'm sure if wore Red would be backed.

Yeah, I got your punchline, I'm not seeing the thinking leading to it.

Hodgson should still be the Wallabies 7 right?

Bizaar. Look, I'm sure you're very clever, but can we get back to actual discussion about what is going to be a very important WB game?

I just think its a tad disingenuous to say Tom should be starting of Seru as "his selection has come out of nowhere". It's not like the guy hasn't been putting in solid shifts for the past couple of years, gone through the ranks and been near or around the squad for a number of years now.
We've seen what Tom can do at 6 already as recent as last year. To say Uru is not deserving of a crack is silly.

So everyone gets the Eddie Jones free pass except Tom Hooper?
He seemed a bit ginger when he came off against England. Could also just be load management and the opportunity to get some gametime for Skelton. TBH, as good as Williams is if I had to select a lock out of him and Frost to partner Skelton it would be Frost, purely for his lineout ability.

Are we really fans? Feels like a colleague type relationship more often then not.
