Wallabies 2023

[Bullrush]

I think we need to swap our 9s pairings.

White with Gordon (so White can kick)
Tate with Donaldson

If Kerevi is fit for Georgia he has to start at 12. We missed the crash ball against France.

Just going by what Will Genia has said, I woudn't pair White with Gordon unless you want to play off 9 instead of 10.

White is a long distance kicker, he isn’t a noted full time kicker. Best we can do is Donaldson in the team somewhere.

True, but I don't see a spot in the starting 15 for Donaldson unless Kellaway or Gordon get injured.

This, This is rock bottom.

Well we all called it when he omitted Foley and Quade from the squad. We can’t be shocked we’re here.

 

[Bullrush]

This, This is rock bottom.

I beg to differ

 

[Eyes and Ears]

What were the Super Rugby stats for goal kicking for Donaldson? From memory, I didn’t think it was one of his strengths either.

 

[qwerty51]

He was terrible, but historically he’s been better than Gordon.

 

[Footy head]

What are eveyones thought on having a better player development For union like they do in leauge to then be able to keep all the good talents in union rather than the leauges poaching all of the union prospecs.

 

[Mr Pilfer]

AFAIK no injuries from that match.

Gordon can't kick; we've got to do something about it.

Give Petaia a go at 15, see what he does at Test level there. Let's see if Vunivalu can back up that performance too.

I thought McReight and Kelleway were 2 of our best? I wouldn't be testing Petaia at FB against Georgia, Portugal maybe.

Yeah no need to mix things up. Victory is not assured, roll out our best and hopefully we can rack up a high score.

Don't know why Nawaqanitawase would be dropped altogether

I expect to wake up at any moment and find Dismal has been drugging my drinking water with LSD and Valium.

Sounds good.

 

[Dan54]

Was interesting hearing Shag Hansen after being in Wallaby's camp. Said they a good bunch of young fellas etc, but wondered if leadership in group a problem.

 

[Tomikin]

We don't have any great Goal kickers in Au currently

We had a young halfback who should have been number 3 with one the best kicks in oz. Captained Australia A... Should have been on the plane as an option. We really need a second player who can kick.. and Donaldson isn't him.

 

[RugbyReg]

Wilson playing Barbarians.

Makes me think he did just want to play club. Apologies to those who suggested it and I doubted.

Barbarian F.C. name squad to face Northampton Saints

James O’Connor, Tom Wright, and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto are among the Australian internationals selected by the Baabaas.

I'm personally living for the timeline which involves Vunivalu starring in an undefeated Wallabies WC campaign, followed by Eddie maniacally laughing at the victory presser while saying "told you fluffybunnys"
