Wallabies 2025 Spring Tour

[rugbyAU]

Apart from when he called for ‘sleepy Joe’ to step down before the Lions series if it was a clean sweep Doran has been excellent

 

[rugbyAU]

Our last Wallabies squad included O'Connor and Stewart so I think there's a reasonable chance Burey will be named in the main squad.

That squad had 15 backs. If we named 16?

Gordon, Lonergan, Thomas
Edmed, Lynagh, Gordon
Ikitau, Paisami, Sua'ali'i
Jorgensen, Daugunu, Kellaway, Potter, Toole, Pietsch, Burey

I would assume Kellaway and Pietsch are both right to return.

Roar reported that Burey isn't expected to be named in the Wallabies

Remember the hysteria around Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase), Gordon and Petaia all leaving. Looks like rugby actually did a good job of maintaining a relationship with 2/3 back in rugby and the 3rd talking about how keen he is to come back.

I wonder if Schmidt will follow his advice and draft Beale into the squad…

 

[Slim 293]

Not to defend Doran, who has gotten significantly worse the last year or two, but I think you're letting Tony Harper off the hook there.

It was that little bit of optimism in me that thought there’s no way some of those articles could’ve gone through a proper editorial process and been approved…

He also writes about players being “sensationally dropped” in the article sans caps before he gets the correct information so he can be first or “EXCLUSIVE,” and then goes back and edits his articles for accuracy…

But yes, he’s great for gossip but a terrible journalist… probably that NewsCorp training.

In fact, based on the lack of any sub editing process it’s likely he is writing his own headlines like some other smaller news organisations…

The other thing he does is start every fifth sentence or so with: “Indeed…”

Have a look, you’ll see it everywhere in his articles now!

Overall I do actually like Christy though. The more journos writing about rugby the better.

To their credit they put a spotlight on rugby where other publications are shrinking their coverage…

But when they get into any analysis or editorial opinion…. Fuuuuuuuuucking hell.

Haha to be fair he was on the James O’Connor train from the start of the year

 

[rugbyAU]

Haha to be fair he was on the James O’Connor train from the start of the year

Why wouldnt he be with Lolesio out and Edmed not on their radar at that point with limited games

 

[Spamnoodle]

He's as astute as myself. I trust his judgement.

Remember the hysteria around Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase), Gordon and Petaia all leaving. Looks like rugby actually did a good job of maintaining a relationship with 2/3 back in rugby and the 3rd talking about how keen he is to come back.

Jordie heard Carter and Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) were signing with the Reds and wanted to be apart of the Super Rugby title with Wilso, Fraser, Tate, Filipo, Josh, Zane, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and the lads.

Gordon will need an extensive medical before they contemplate dropping any money on him

Well it was a quick medical!!

 

[Major Tom]

Well it was a quick medical!!

He’s recovered. Played a game of NRL.

Look I agree. They would have had other Rugby options to go as well but, being argumentative you can say Mark will likely go back after the WC. Petaia didn’t want to be back but got cut and not picked up by anyone and basically the same with Carter.

3 year deal for Carter Gordon:

'Stoked to return': Carter Gordon signs with Queensland Reds on three-year deal

In welcome news for Australian rugby's fly-half stocks, Wallaby Carter Gordon is set to make his long-awaited return to the XV man code, signing a three-year deal with the Queensland Reds.

Now that it's official we can expect to see him in this afternoon's squad

 

[Adam84]

I’m ok with him been named in the squad, not expecting miracles though. Given the year he has had injury wise and just general time out of the game, but at the least it should help him reintegrate much faster and start next year running

I rate him, Lynagh hasn’t been able to finish games etc. maybe bring him off the bench v Italy

[whitefalcon]

jeez thats light on on 10s

I assume Donaldson or Lynagh will be called in

 

[PhilClinton]

Any time I see Hamish Stewart named in a rep squad I immediately lose a small part of my rugby soul.
