Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

[Slim 293]

Tomane warrants another chance, but he's also battling injury at the moment.

And there's also Shipperley, or AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

We're certainly not short on wingers so I hope they don't take the risk.

 

[Craig Riddington]

Eh... White has been excellent this year, and was the best Aussie scrumhalf until Genia got back into form...

Genia > White > Luke Burgess SOS > Me > Phipps

On recent form I think you might find the order

Genia > Fresh Air > White > Burgess > YOU > Phipps

White's recent form has been good.

Let's not use the Blues game to mask that.

 

[Joe Blow]

what time do they announce the squad?

what time do they announce the squad?

Probably 20 minutes after Quade Cooper's judiciary hearing ends.

For all those picking Timani, please watch Scotty's (i think it was Scotty) video analysis of his Wales performance. He needs a massive fitness and/or attitude change, I would not be picking him for any Rugby Championship games. Sharpe, Simmons, Pyle, Neville, Fardy, Douglas, Kimlin all ahead of him on workrate and impact. (not on potential)

Quade to start, would love to see the wallabies playing a wider game, which we need Quade for (or Lealifanno but he is not an option) as Barnes lacks this ability.

beat me to it GaffaCHinO.

 

[The Red Baron]

No Reds have been selected due to the Super Rugby finals. I would expect that squad to change a bit when the Reds do become available.

Tomane is injured so he was not considered for selecetion. According to the artical that is.

 

[jermano]

disclaimer at the bottom of the squad,

* One as yet un-named outside back and two loose forwards from the national Academy programme will be invited to join training at the first camp.

any word who may get this call?

happy for Cummo to get the call up!

One question.Paddy Ryan??

Follow up Question - Have you seen him play?

 

[daz]

Very pleased to see Mitch Inman get a call up to the squad. A very consistant year is now well rewarded.

 

[Braveheart81]

Anyone know the prognosis on Palu and JOC (James O'Connor)?

I thought Tomane was fit again.

 

[Viking]

Paddy Ryan? No Palmer? Palmer came off early against the blues, is he injured? Same with Tomane?

I wouldnt mind seeing Cummins at 13 for Horne, he's looking very strong this year.

 

[What2040]

where the fuck is Palmer ?????????????????????????? Is he injured ???????????????

 

[Braveheart81]
