Schmidt has covered why the Big Willys of the World have not been picked; poor timing from France.
The situation has been compounded as we have two of them knock themselves out within 10 minutes of each other in one game. Given the 6 day turn around, there was bugger all time to integrate someone from overseas.
The games against Argentina and NZ may be different.

Likewise, going back 18months I think I said as much, he was trending that way and then injuries hit. This year he was injured for a large chunk and only played a handful. They weren’t his best games either.
I’m thinking he might be a Rob Simmons-esque player. Big frame, does his role at the set piece well but a bit average around the field.

Giving away more penalties is just crazy enough to work....

I'd like to watch Toole at this level. I think the gap between Koroibete and Toole is lees than the gap between a fit Kerevi and a fit Paisami. I mean, Toole could be a worthy replacement for Koro
Jorgo is costing the ARU aprox $500K a year they need him to pay for something hence the marketing

Noah’s spark: How do the Wallabies get the best of an enigmatic playmaker?
Stephen Larkham knows a bit about how to be a successful Wallabies No.10. And he also knows how to get the best out of the heavily scrutinised five-eighth Noah Lolesio.
Last chance saloon today. I’d be applying this logic to backing Donno for at least 6 Tests in succession. Noah has had plenty of time to claim the position.

Donno wasn't great in his one start, not that Noah's set the world on fire but he wasn't as bad as Donno.Noah’s spark: How do the Wallabies get the best of an enigmatic playmaker?

Although just on a pure athletic stand point, if Donno can get his play together his a better shout then Noah and Lynagh..
Hopefully one of them kicks on and starts running the game... Although hiding for nothing if our pack don't show up.

I don't think that'll be the thinking. I suspect we're going to see the three potential 10's continue to rotate this year as they give them all more minutes. Truthfully I don't think any of them have played enough Rugby and definitely not at this level. They all need more time and we need three genuine options next year and there would be an eye towards the Worldcup.Noah’s spark: How do the Wallabies get the best of an enigmatic playmaker?

I don't see Foley and Quade making a reappearance and beyond these three who do we have that you'd seriously consider? Gordon has put himself out of the frame. Edmed hasn't pushed his case enough. O'Connor could be a possibility but his run of injuries has hampered him staking a claim.

I had a racehorse once described as such, the reason being he would put in a couple of bad performances and then deliver when it mattered most. I’m not sure the reasoning is the same here but will be delighted in a few hours if it turns out to be.
