Wallabies 2023

[LeCheese]

No. Today is the last session before they fly out.

Ah, that's the one. Even worse

Struth. Today was only the first day of camp too I think?

Maybe officially but I find it hard to believe that professional rugby players have been doing nothing for 3 weeks. It’s a tough blow but the silver lining is we have Ned in camp.

EDIT: read above. Who is the replacement, I assume it will be Red Swain?

WTF

Assume Swain in but I wouldn't rule out Carter, Douglas, Simmons, Arnold (Richie) or Staniforth?

Swain still has 2 matches to go and Skelton unavailable for the first 2 as well.

Douglas probably most likely overseas.

1st & last

 

[Joe Blow]

It would be good for Swain to go but also would not mind having a look at Staniforth

Matt Philip has ruptured his ACL at Wallaby training.

Seems right, been raining down the coast today!

I actually think Staniforth would be the most like for like replacement of Phillip. Do it Rennie.

 

[stillmissit]

I think our pack is better with Philip there, he must be devastated on the last day prior to flying out.

Swain called up according to White Falcon on another thread.

 

[qwerty51]

Well that’s our starting locks and bench (Holloway) sorted v Scotland.

grim.

I don't believe Richie is eligible, he doesn't have enough super rugby seasons or caps to qualify as an international pick

 

[Derpus]

Id rather LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) or someone else get a go over Swain.

 

[Derpus]

This is pretty wild lmao

Rodha has some gems. His selection policy is based purely on the weight of a player.

I wasn't aware there's a qualification now?

 

[Wilson]

I wasn't aware there's a qualification now?

5 seasons super or 30 wallabies caps is my understanding

Would Duncan Paiauaia or Oli Hoskins have had 5 Super seasons when they were called up last year?

 

[RugbyReg]

No more Link chat. Too many whirlpools to get sucked in to.

Would Duncan Paiauaia or Oli Hoskins have had 5 Super seasons when they were called up last year?

Duncan yes. Debuted 2015. Left 2019.

 

[cyclopath]

What Reg meant is someone will get rested, with no downgrade for a good judicial record, if they want to dredge this crap up again, for the umpteenth time. Like I suggested a page ago.

 

[Wilson]

Would Duncan Paiauaia or Oli Hoskins have had 5 Super seasons when they were called up last year?

Theoretically yes, depending on how they count academy time. The regulation came in after that though, last year was effectively open slather due to covid complications.
