Wallabies 2025

There's maybe some excuse for Robertson, given the Force's injuries at prop, but it's wild that Bell hasn't had a rest given the tahs have a current wallaby prop in Kailea and a fairly well rated Aus A player in Lambert behind him.

They must be in serious danger of loosing Lambert at this stage too, with Bell and Kailea signed through 27 and very little game time available he'd have to be interested in jumping to the Brumbies as Slipper wears out, or going over seas to cash in while he can.

Especially so for Bell, who hasn't played a full season over the past 3 years due to a recurring foot injury that wasn't a simple and straightforward injury.. I'd say there's a need to manage his workload more carefully

Don't think Lambert is high on the list atm. Played SS last week and listed for Uni again this week like Edmed at Eastwood.

I am guessing the spin would have been that he will be rested v the Drua next week and then also gets the next week off with the bye. For the other Tahs Wallabies as well. It does actually make sense, parochial biases aside.

‘People’ being people on here? It probably made sense in some respects from the outside, but from the inside they were probably looking at the scrum strength and wanted/needed to get a win on the road.

Anyway, it’s just a theory I have, will see if I’m right. There is some flexibility with the rest protocols and I don’t have any issues with other franchises using them strategically as well. Also, from a fan/viewer perspective, it’s a better look to rest players against the team coming last on the ladder than appearing to throw a game against the comp leaders.

Gee Ryan Lonergan's Wallabies prospects are dipping with Wilson and Thomas getting game time and playing well (with McDermott, Gordon & White ahead of them)

At present I‘d like to see a Wallaby backline of:

9 White
10 Donaldson
11 Daugunu
12 Ikitau
13 Sua'ali'i
14 Potter
15 Wright

21 McDermott
22 JOC (James O'Connor)
23 Pietsch

Lynagh still a year away in my book.

I think Lynagh is class so I’d have him over JOC (James O'Connor). I put last nights misfired passes down to the stinger he suffered in the first half (seemed to give him a weak hand on those lovely flat passes he usually throws). He also wasn’t getting the best service from Tate
