Wallaby Watch 2014

[Benaud]

Kepu could be the casualty, and Slipper looks like he'll be playing TH if Smith and Cowan are both there.

 

[Deputy Van Halen]

if Jones misses out it will literally be the greatest injustice of all time.

 

[BDA]

If Kepu is not in the squad Ill be pretty disappointed. He is probably our best scrummaging tight head by a country mile. If he is not in our calculations for the world cup I'd be shocked. I can understand it if Link would prefer to trial new players but I'd much prefer to see Alexander get the boot.

 

[Benaud]

I reckon one of those rumours must be a myth. Unless Jones is injured, he's a thousands chance of missing out.

 

[Scoey]

When is the actual announcement on the squad due?

 

[Slim 293]

Alexander has been the form TH prop though............

But I wouldn't be cutting either...........

 

[BDA]

I'd be surprised if Mogg was named.

 

[Deputy Van Halen]

When is the actual announcement on the squad due?

Midday apparently

 

[BDA]

True Alexander is the form TH but he'll still get reamed out at test level. Kepu is lazy but is less likely to get dominated.

 

[Richo]

Skelton to miss out, I'd guess.

What with our lock stocks so deep and all.

 

[Slim 293]

True Alexander is the form TH but he'll still get reamed out at test level. Kepu is lazy but is less likely to get dominated.

He's got all that extra energy for scrums from not doing anything around the field..........

 

[BDA]

ha I like that about him

 

[Dumbledore]

Jim Morton claims Tom English and Toby Smith are the two bolters from the Rebs....

That would surely rule out Robinson?

I will completely lose my shit if Jones doesn't get picked.

 

[Train Without a Station]

Richo, it is pretty deep. Carter is tipped to miss out for example.

 

[BDA]

[No4918]

I hope everyone is expecting Aussie Mike.

 

[Moono75]

what does that mean? You've confirmed it because you've seen a video?

see the article posted by GaffaChino regarding the injury. It was Strauss, it was a late hit, for no reason and it's cost a promising young player a chance at making the Wallabies.....I stress chance.

SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENT: FWDS: Alexander, Cowan, Kepu, Sio, Slipper, Charles, Moore, Polota-Nau, Carter, Horwill


ARU twitter sure did just jump the gun there. Naming the side before the press conference starts...

Good squad...........

So the Toby Smith/Tom English rumours were bunk..........
