Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)

I almost wonder if you could put Gordon in at 12. I don't like him at 10 unless we have someone else kicking sticks. He's a good ball runner, a solid defender and could open up the outside backs more than they have been. It's not the worst idea... from memory, that's where he played against Argenti...

Same size as Brad Thorn. :) He’s a 6 but playing lock because there are no locks in NSW it seems. About the same size as Woki and Itoje. Height is only important to a point. He's a very different player to those two. Woki and Itoji are both explosive players with good wingspan. Thorn is a better co...
