Ahhhh………..wrong.
It means a lot and has always provided all of our Super players and then Wallabies.

The locks selected have all been in good form. Frost is the only only who may have not played better at super rugby level than Hosea, but he is clearly a talent on the rise and did play some very good games during the season.
I don’t deny Hosea’s talent, and I would have been happy to see him in there, but I don’t see any issues with the players selected. Isn’t it a good think that in 3-4 years we’ve had a large chunk of talent come through in a position where we’ve been weak for some time.

Especially to a young guy like Gordon. More senior rugby game time can only be a good thing.
I’ve always rated Duncan. I think he should of got a wallaby shot before this. In saying that he wasn’t at his best in his last year at the Reds. As others have suggested, he benefits from being in Brisbane and being an experienced playmaker while JOC (James O'Connor) is injured.
But perhaps he’s also there because he actually plays a bit like Richie Mounga and he can play that role on opposed training sessions?

Unremarkable but reliable & consistent.

He’s at the right age where if Rennie sees him playing a role for the Wallabies, it makes sense to get him involved now.
So does it mean he’s going to be playing Super Rugby? I see he’s listed as Toulon in the announcement. Possibly coming back to the Reds?

DP
- New law (can selected 2 with less then 60 caps)
- Is experienced campaigner now (52 top tier caps), fills the middle ground between old heads and young gun.
- Was already in Queensland
- offers 10/12 depth with injury concerns in that area and it's a LONG campaign
- could lead him to be a Super Rugby target for 2023 & onwards.

It seems likely to me that noone in lockdown has been selected. Everyone who's new isn't currently in Sydney or Victoria (or South Australia).

Sucks for Simone. IMO clearly our second best 12 now that To'omua has fallen off. Harsh that he probably wont get a second chance after Sydney (bench cameo aside). Doubly harsh he loses a spot to DP.
