Maybe, but it always feels like he has an axe to grind about the Wallabies and Rugby in Australia in general

His opinion pieces can be a bit tiresome, but he obviously has some sort of special insights and is always on the money with injuries, team selections etc.

To be honest he seems like the most pro Eddie journalist out there

If Eddie has Ikitau in his sights as the replacement player for Jorgensen, can Ikitau play in a Barbarian side this weekend & then be called into the squad & play the following weekend against Portugal?
Or would Eddie have to call him in before the Barbarians game?

Call make the call whenever he wants so after would be fine. The only thing is the 48hr standby rule (meaning he must be named into the squad prior to 48hrs before being named to play)

As long as he's called in at least 48 hrs prior to naming the squad for Portugal game he can play both...

Definitely insightful:
“In Australian rugby, that risk level is always highest when players come out of Super Rugby and into the Wallabies, and because their fitness is considered woefully inadequate for Test rugby they get flogged for a few weeks. Without sufficient rest, multiple players often pick up injuries in this window.
And it’s been happening for a decade. Robbie Deans identified it as one of the biggest problems of Australia’s federated system, over a decade ago.”

I guess, they’re not payed to worry about the wallabies, that would be my answer

They are paid to win Super Rugby games though, and considering how bad our teams are, maybe they should do their jobs and get them fitter and maybe they’d be more successful
