Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

Lonergan isn’t the best kicker in his club team. That’s a bit disingenuous. Lolesio is kicking about 100% this year. Lonergan would be the second best kicker in Oz rugby. Sure mate. I bet there’s some real analysis behind that statement…… how often have you actually seen Lonergan kick? Last year he...
