Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Tom Hooper is looking like another Hannigan, Holloway, (and to a lesser extent) Dempsey type at the moment. Not really the right shape for any specific back row role, doesn’t have the HP to play a Brad Thorn type lock role. You’d be concerned if he’s your starting 6 or 4 for the wallabies. Maybe be...
