[Tex]

Spicy cough has meant the test is now (maybe?) in Brisbane.

Start chattering.

Where are the Wallabies training?

Fly France to the training ground and a couple of camera men in biohazard suits and play on a training ground.

 

[Tex]

Maybe just come down to Melbourne for the whole series. God knows how, but we're the sole freecity on the continent.

I actually forgot about the covid situation getting to Brisbane, shit it starting to get difficult and hope the lockdown takes care of the problem.

A Kenyan prince sent me an email.

Shit again, that a bit tough for the poor buggers running it. I know this a rugby site, but any sport losing out is tough.

So given all the injuries what are people's Wallabies team for game 1 in 7 days time?

Who are the confirmed injuries for this match?

Slipper, Sio, Kaitu'u, JOC (James O'Connor), To'omua, White, Gordon..?

 

[liquor box]

Has anyone seen odds or betting available for the Test? It seems like the bookies don't want my money!

 

[upthereds#!]

Jeez. Lucky the french brought their B squad because we have ours.

Looking at a team of aussies not available for various reasons (some not confirmed) -

1. Slipper 2. Latu 3. Ainsley
4. Arnold 5.Skelton
6. Hanigan 8. Mcmahon 7. Gill
9. White 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Naivalu 12. To'omua 13. Kerevi 14. Vunivalu 15. DHP
16. Kaituu 17. Sio 18. Holmes 19. Rodda 20. Wright 21. Gordon 22. Beale 23. Petaia

Reckon it would give our available 23 a run for their money.....

1. Bell 2. Amosa 3. Thor
4. Phillip 5. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)
6. Valetini 8. Wilson 7. Hoops

Pretty sure Slipper is available? Perhaps coming back from injury?

O'Connor is 'in doubt' but they're sounding more hopeful he'll be available at least for game 2.

 

[Dctarget]

I think Vunivalu might be close to ready.

 

[KOB1987]

To'omua also apparently trained.

To'omua also apparently trained.

Do you mean the second man at the ruck? Looks more like Paisami to me, unless you've got more information.

That is Paisami, but there was a report yesterday To'omua had returned to camp.

The pic was there for Gordon, the To'omua comment was mutually exclusive.

 

[Zero_Cool]

Yeah, I think Vuni comes off the bench game 1, starts game 2.

 

[Zero_Cool]

When are the teams announced?

FYI looking likely that it's up to the Queensland Government if Fans will be allowed.
Things aren't looking Super for a large event, but it's still quite a few days away. I'd say we're probably 50/50 at this point.
