I wouldn't say this is an injury crisis now is it?Do we have way more serious/long term injuries to players than other countries or do we just feel it due to lack of depth? I swear every season is an injury crisis.
Yet, after hitting top speed last month, Schmidt decided to can his initial thoughts of easing the youngster back via club rugby and brought him straight back into his Wallabies plans.
“We’ve had a long-term plan with Max and Max is really well across it,” Schmidt said in late June.
“I had a few discussions with Stephen Hoiles at Randwick and probably the original plan was to bring him back through club rugby with Randwick, but Max is going really well. He was the quickest guy we had a training today across the ground. He’s definitely fully fit.
“I think if someone’s fully fit, whether he maybe plays or trains for club, I think he’ll get more volume of training with the Wallabies in a full-time program.
“On top of that, every team has their own lexicon, their own language and their own expectation, and I think it’s just easier to meld them more quickly into the Wallabies set up with him being present.”
On Saturday, he’s likely to become the youngest Wallaby since Bell made his debut in 2020.

McReight, two concussed locks for a week. Wright is out but he wasn't really a permanent fixture. Daugunu. Leota will be back soon. Who else?

Its much easier for Rassie because not only the Springboks are playing for SA franchises but some of them are playing for the opposition like RG Snyman (Leinster) and in the English GPS like Thomas Tank (Bath). He also use his NH coach (Felix Jones in the past, now Flannery) to keep in touch with the NH players. He do a lot of camps on weekends from the start of the year with a big squad to make sure the younger players get into the Springbok traditions and his coaching strategies.He also has the luxury of really good depth.
I also think it's part of managing so many foreign based players. He can't just select a squad of 34 and keep them together for the whole Rugby Championship.
It's a shame if that's the case. The quicker the new comp starts the better if that's the case.Because he’s smart .. He realises the only thing that really matters in modern test rugby is WC …
My tip is that White will be a starter to help the young team.If last week's Doran articles are anything to go by any reference to Nic White will be totally removed by tomorrow morning.
You’re kidding, right?heard rumours wallabies might ask for uncontested scrums?
McDermott had a bit of a shocker when he came on the field last week. His pass.was all over the place, and he made several very poor tactical decisions when we had 15 v 13, as well as.that foot in touch debacle.My tip is that White will be a starter to help the young team.
Sure you did.heard rumours wallabies might ask for uncontested scrums?

Standard schoolboy forum gibbering...That's some very stinky bait
