Hooper's decade is over sadly.
He can start along with Melbourne's own Kerr-Barlow in Bledisloe 1 at the MCG with Quade leading the anthem in a sequin dress.Does Gamble even get a run, surely the ABs would blow up
You haven't watched any SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) this year have you? On form Hooper probably isn't the form 7 this yearBold move to leave out Australia’s most experienced and probably best player over the last 5 years in Michael Hooper.
Would love to hear your reasoning behind the move. Old age?

That's true. But I think he has limited time to get back to his Hooper best, and ensure he can fit into EJ (Eddie Jones)'s plansI still reckon this race is far from run though.
His last game was easily his best game of the season and there's a number of weeks to go before any squads are picked.
I think the biggest issue he faces is Eddie Jones leaning towards a less traditional 7 and opting for bigger bodies across the backrow.
Top level Hooper is the best Wallaby player easily of the past decade but we have not seen it for a while. I don't just mean this Super season, but recent international seasons too.I still reckon this race is far from run though.

We're kidding ourselves if we think he's currently anywhere near his best, he's really coasting on his reputation. When he was on song he was hands down the best 'Tahs player every single game, pulling off multiple freaky shit multiple times in 80 minutes. I don't see a way back for him to his peak.

A quick search found this, it's recent (2021). Looks like they just went out of fashion
Holloway needs to go, ineffective as a ball carrier and is prone to a drop ball (most tahs games this year).
Don’t mind the combo of swainn and frosty, however the backrow must be

In no universe.In what universe are Rodda, Phillip and Neville all more deserving over Frost?
Is it confirm that there is only 3 O/S options?
QC (Quade Cooper) (Quade Cooper), Foley and Kerevi will be Eddie’s choice. If Kerevi declines, then Koriebete.
I wouldn’t pick Foley but Eddie will.
