Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

Wright's defense is no better than Kelleways. Both still hit harder than Papali'i That's quite a petulant response Zakar. I don't think any of the options are as bad as defenders as you guys make out. Certainly no worse than the current t starters in NZ. That's probably true. I was gutted to see Za...

If you’re Schmidt, you don’t ask him to shoulder the burden of fullback.
You play him on the wing and pick a solid defender and good boot at 15
None of our 15 options are amazing defenders.
