Re: Wallabies 2025: Revenge of the Schmidt

Fez and Paisami released for the Reds clash against the Lions... Schmidt indicated when the squad was announced that Fez would likely play in this game to get some match fitness as he'll likely start against the Lions. But more importantly it looks like Paisami won't be near the Wallabies 23. :thum...

Not too worried. Lions were so dominant in the collisions but just had no cohesion. Rare to see a team be so strong in that area and lose but that's just because they've barely started out. The most impressive players were all English - Freeman, Genge, M Smith as well as Daly and Pollock off the be...

JAS on the wing is a reckless use of capital. Never mind the actual football. 12/13/15 or not at all. Corey Toole would be the man for the Wallabies on wing.
