Wallaby 10 debate

Wilson

David Wilson (68)
Meredith has potential and has shown some of it so far, but he still needs to actually get both hands on the Brumbies jersey - he's still only managed 4 starts in super rugby and has averaged 19 minutes per game across his 23 matches. Normally you'd expect him to be stepping into the starting role this year, but with Edmed signing and Wright injured it looks like he'll be spending more time at fullback than flyhalf. If the Brumbies manage to grab Lomax as well (or even just once Wright is back) he could find himself wearing the 23 jersey for another season.

It's hard to see him getting the time he would need to really stake a claim for a wallabies spot, particularly at a time when we need stop casting such a wide net and focus on building a couple of players into the role.

Well according to the Super Rugby Player of the Round points

Brumbies v Blues

Blues v Brumbies​

6 - Patrick Tuipulotu (BLU)

5 - Tom Hooper (BRU)

3 - Declan Meredith (BRU), Rory Scott (BRU)

2 - Beauden Barrett (BLU), Cameron Suafoa (BLU)

1 - Allan Ala'alatoa (BRU), AJ Lam (BLU), Finlay Christie (BLU)

So Tuipulotu the player of the match and Tom Hooper the best Brumby.

but….


Queensland Reds V Blues​

5 - Tom Lynagh (RED), Tate McDermott (RED)

4 - Hoskins Sotutu (BLU)

3 - AJ Lam (BLU)

2 - Anton Segner (BLU), Zarn Sullivan (BLU)

1 - Hunter Paisami (RED), Fraser McReight (RED), Sam Nock (BLU)

I guess we can now put the Wallaby 9-10 combo in ink given “player of the match v the Blues” seems the decisive factor.

I think that has silenced BR until next season Red Runner!
