Yeah apart from Gordon, Lynagh and Harrison are the ones I'm most about.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

I've not watched any Japanese footy, but the few European matches I've watched this year the only Aussie players that really leapt out were James Ramm and Jack Maddocks. I don't think any of them are materially better than the local guys, if they are better at all. Skelton looks fat again, I wouldn...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

I prefer players with complementary skillsets. I know the thinking is revolutionary in Australian rugby. I might offer my services as a consultant. Contact Eddie Jones.. I played a game of league once. Good idea. He'll make you one of his many assistant coaches or maybe just put you on the wing.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

Lonergan and Gordon may not have met each other before, which is why I believe pairing Lonergan (or White) with Lolesio is a safer bet. Kerevi will be getting a call-up. Schmidt said that 60/40 selection calls would go to the local players, but I don’t believe Kerevi/Foketi is in any way contentiou...

Maybe in Australia. I'm not sure pro League players in Australia are better at those skills than pro Rugby players from NZ, SA, Ireland, France, etc.

They will in the first half. Quins will definitely fire some shots, I just don't think they'll be able to stay with them for the full 80.
