Wallabies 2025

[Dctarget]

Koroibete's pace was comically bad, genuinely looked like an amateur out there, was bizarre. Not a good endorsement of Top League.

Flook has replaced Daugunu in the squad after his concussion:

 

[Tazzmania]

Decent replacement, good attitude and goes about his business the right way.

However, did I imagine it, or was he not already sitting in Wallaby kit with the wallabies last night prior to the concussion.

I have to then assume he was already part pf the widwer training group and now upgraded.

Yeah, he was already training with the squad (you can see him behind Sua'ali'i in an a wallabies instagram post a couple of days ago), which is probably part of why he was the obvious choice for a replacement. I imagine he came into the squad when Daugunu was released to play for the First Nations and Pasifika side, initially as training coverage.

It is a shame we don’t really know if Kerevi is still any good or not. Watching them use ikitau as the main crash ball option made me think Kerevi could do a similar thing with more meters, but anyway I think that ship has sailed. I just think they need to give JAS the ball more

Will be interesting to see what coach does with Skelton, lineout was already terrible so Skelton coming in certainly won’t help. It did get better 2nd half not sure if that was anything to do with pollard or they just fixed their issues

Really missed a beat not having him available for either the AUNZ or FNP games to see where he's at. All the talk of the lesser standard of Japan's top league but a quick glance over the Springbok squad for RC and half of them seem to be playing there!

Bloke costs too much.

Bloke costs too much.

As we now know, he wouldn't have been eligible for FNP either.

Tom Donnelly to replace Geoff Parling as assistant coach.

 

[whitefalcon]

Maybe I'm delusional but I'm not really that down on the Wallabies right now.

I'm more pissed off that we are going to continue to be written off given its a dead rubber.

Our biggest weakness right now is our defense in the 13/wing channel and that we lose our coach at the end of the year.

With Skelton and Bobby back we were looking real good

Calling it now, with a fully fit squad I think we can clean sweep the spring tour.

There’s a zero chance that happens

There’s a zero chance that happens

so you're saying there's a chance...

When Val and Skelton went off we lost all aggression. Cant help but think Lukhan would have been a better choice than WIlliams. Williams is a good player but struggles to impose himself on the opposition. Needs to lose the nice guy thing and become a hard man.

 

[Tex]

Lukhan is the answer for Saturday. I want pure mongrel and disrespect.

 

[Dan54]

I will say on the Wallabies going forward, I bet the other 3 teams in the RC are feeling a bit of a worry when looking ahead to games against them. As a kiwi and one eyed AB supporter, I am seeing a pretty good Wallaby team that are going to be well set up after this Lions series.

 

[Tazzmania]

I really don’t think they’re worried at all. Just get through the Wallabies 30-40 mins a game they play and you’ll be able to score 25+ on them in the other.

We still let in far too many points. Can't see us being competitive until we fix our defensive system.

With no Skelton for TRC too right?

I reckon most other RC teams will be licking their lips - putting Wobs down for the spoon
