Wallabies 2023

We assume that Slipper starts at LH with Sio on the bench. Campbell is interesting. Is Petaia fit?

I think Campbell has produced some great moments for the Reds in the last two seasons playing at fullback.

In saying that, I never really had him as a Wallabies chance, will be interesting if he gets a run. I hope he isn't there as wing cover.

He takes Marky Marks place with Kellaway still injured. I doubt he will be in the 23 just yet. Hes playing well.

You right, Lancaster was the England's coach in 2015 lol but the current record of Rennie against them isn't positive neither

Neither is the record against NZ. Some teams are just better then us.

Comparing Cheika and Rennie based on there record against England is very limited. And somehow you've managed to imply a record of 7-0 (0%) is the same as 1-3 (25%). If we are using your logic then 25% is a heap better then 0%.

So now are 4 spots for overseas players or the law is over?

Kerevi is unavailable for the Argentina tour because of the Comm Games…

Arnold is coming into the squad for the Argentina tour.

3 is still the number of the day.

Ok, there are some differences with Cheika's starting 23.

1 Tetaz Chaparro
2 Julian Montoya (c)
3 Gomez Kodela
4 Guido Petti
5 Tomas Lavanini
6 Pablo Matera
7 Matias Kremer
8 Facundo Isa
9 Gonzalo Bertranou
10 Benjamin Urdapilleta
11 Juan Immhoff
12 Jeronimo De La Fuente
13 Matias Moroni
14 Santiago Cordero
15 Emiliano Boffelli

16 Agustin Creevy
17 Thomas Gallo
18 Agustin Medrano
19 Matias Alemanno
20 Juan Martin Gonzalez
21 Tomas Cubelli
22 Nicolas Sanchez
23 Juan Cruz Mallia

He picks Carreras as starter 10 despite he played all the year at 15 in Gloucester lol. Tomas Cubelli and Nicolas Sanchez are the most experienced combo 9/10 but both are at a low level cause injuries and bad performances in recent years. Medrano was playing for Argentina A so I'm not sure if Cheika gonna pick him, Isa is the best true number 8 in the squad but Cheika could pick Matera at 8 and put Juan Martin Gonzalez at 6. Carrera is going to play at 10 but Urdapilleta is a top fly-half playing in Top 14 since many years ago. Boffelli can plat at 11/12/15 so I'm not sure where he's going to play but he's gonna be a starter, no doubt about it. Juan Cruz Mallia is another utility back similar to Boffelli who has been playing at the centre in Toulouse.

Both are poor records. Less than 50% against England is unacceptable. You can have a negative record against NZ cause they have simply been the best team in the last 20 years but England has been so inconsistent as Australia. Not to go so far, in this series they aren't been the perfect team, just defensed harder, took their opportunities and find yhe way to get the win.

England playing at this level would be smashed by Ireland, France and ABs

For the entirety of the period since 2015 England have been ranked above Australia. Clearly Cheika's 0-7 record was not good enough.

Rennie's 1-3 record isn't good enough either particularly as those games have been during a period England have started to slide. We should have won the recent series.

This must be what it feels like to hear the phrase "full support of the board"

Give the people what they want.

Thanks. It's important to listen to your stakeholders.
