Who is the "yes man" who is always next to him? He's started aping Cheika's mannerisms.
I was wondering the same thing.

He's 2 caps short of the 60 so technically not plus he's retired from test rugby. With Dempsey out I'd personally move McMahon to 6 and based on today's performance mccalman at 8. Timani remained underwhelming but take him on tour with Hanigan and Hardwick as the b graders and Liam wright the apprentice.Does that mean Hanagan at six? Can we shoe horn Palu into the squad?

Fox Sports advertising Wallabies v Japan as East v West.
WTF? Last time I checked, Australia was in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Shame Naisarani's not available he would fill the void nicely. McCalman was playing 6 today when he came on so he could potentially slot in there and McMahon can stay at 8. Apart from where they pack down in the scrum I can't see the number on their backs changing their roles too much.I think this makes the most sense. McMahon to 6, Timani or McCalman at 8, probably the latter. Phillip maybe to get a call up?
Andrew kellaway form this year imo sees him well down the pecking order - for a smokey I would like to see banks selected.With Mr. "call up Liam Wright & Folau Fainga'a" Cheika in charge, it's impossible to know who he sees as the obvious replacement for the tour.
Is Dane HP back for spring tour? Can Mr Fix-It Hodgey play there? Is Andrew Kellaway a smokey, or even Jack Maddocks? Quade?!? Tom Banks?
You kidding about b players against Scotland and wales. We have struggled in the past to beat these sides with our a team.How big is the squad that we're taking on this tour? And who do you all think will be the side facing Japan?
Ideally, I'd like to see a slightly larger than normal squad, with a B XV to face Japan, with A team reinforcements on the bench incase things get a little bit how-ya-goin.
I'd then like to see some B team players filtered into the 23 against Wales and Scotland (only a couple each time - we can't afford to take the piss) and a full strength 23 to go against England.
Players like Kepu, Coleman, Hooper, Genia, Foley have all played a tremendous amount of rugby in the past little while across a crazy amount of the world.
As the spine of the team going into the World Cup we certainly need to protect them.
