Wallabies 2024

[Linerunner2023]

New squad last year and 13 new faces this year! With not overseas players and 10 or so injured though can see why
Injured - Leota / Jorgensen / bell / petaia / porecki / Lonergan / HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) / schoupp and Toole in 7s
Players heading overseas not selected or nrl - Marky n, gorden, rodda, Hanigan, swinton, perese, and uelese which I had not heard he was going

seems rugby AU thinking players are chess pieces like rodda, uelese and gorden is going well where they can move them where they want

unlucky is swain who would be one of the first 2nd row picked and Uru
very lucky Angus Blyth, and David Feliuai

Rough on Canham with Blythe over him but doubt Angus will get much game time.

Also interesting that Uelese is a no as well.

Comfortably the weakest Wallaby squad I've ever seen.

Did you not follow the World Cup last year?

Man for man that was stronger easily.

Nah that World cup squad was diabolical especially in hindsight

At least this squad includes someone that actually knows how to place kick

 

[Linerunner2023]

It's Wales, so it won't matter.

But still a few interesting decisions, particularly at lock, and a little at Hooker.

We lost to wales by 40 last year…

Nah, not a chance.

Angus Bell, and Skelton the only real difference.

agree to disagree

 

[Dctarget]

The other one had Bell, Skelton, Porecki, Uelese, Leota, Kerevi, Petaia, Perese, Koroibete, Nawaqanitawase.

There's a few names there not impressing me...

But there's a few notable inclusions in this squad that weren't there.

 

[Tomthumb]

The other one had Uelese

Yeah that's probably what made it worse

What does this mean?

 

[Tomthumb]

Glad to see Ryan Smith in there, I think his style is built for test Rugby

 

[Strewthcobber]

Swain paying the price for dropping two kick-offs last week?

This team

is not this team

 

[KiwiM]

uelese which I had not heard he was going

Uelese might not be going - he might not have made selection cos he can't throw.....

 

[JRugby2]

No idea if he'll genuinely get a run but love seeing Liam Wright back in the fold. He's the Scott Fardy reincarnate we've desperately needed.

 

[Tomthumb]

Uelese might not be going - he might not have made selection cos he can't throw.....

But he's big!

 

[Slim 293]

Rugby.com.au hinted at Nasser's inclusion yesterday when they ran a feature on him and his sister...

 

[Slim 293]

Petaia not selected or listed as unavailable... is that a sure sign he's leaving?
