Wallabies 2025

But in all seriousness…

it’s clear there are real questions over the quality and/or depth in key positions like front-row, fly-half and lock; hence casting the net wide.

Wallabies are only 2 or 3 front-row injuries away from disaster at scrum time, and the main-stay front-rowers are injury prone as it is.

Some players from the tight 5 are clearly there for exposure/depth experience in the event of injury, if no injuries occur they won’t be there in actual B&I Lions squad selections.

What? Here?

Edit: Actually, in my experience this place is easily the most effective gathering of rugby knowledge, well within social media, in Australia. (And Adam you lead the pack.)

It seems to me that rugby in Aus is in a really difficult but really opportunistic time. I am not a fan of shrink to greatness even where the reduction is self imposed. I have little faith in the direction, or more correctly the INTENDED direction in front of us.

But I’m resigned to what comes next. Recognise that “the plan” might have legs.

Valid concerns.......depth in the tight five is crucial, and the reliance on injury-prone players makes the risk clear. Smart to build experience now, even if some won't make the final squad
