2013 EOYT

[Richo]

6 Match tour on the back of the Lions and RC, is the ARU not asking enough of these guys this year? It will be 1 month off and than back into Pre-season training.

Someone has to pay for JON's bonus.

 

[Braveheart81]

It's good we're playing that extra test against Wales.

The new mahogany desks and cedar wall panelling that it will pay for at St Leonards is going to look just brilliant.

 

[Ruggo]

Betham could be a bolter me thinks. Mogg also. Given the size of the tour it is a must we get Pyle established in test rugby.

I hope Deans is gone and Quade is back.

 

[Behold]

If players like Robinson, Moore, Palu and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are part of the next World Cup thinking it might a good time to give them some time off and a decent preseason for their Super Rugby teams. Would also give the Wallabies a chance to build some depth in these positions.

 

[Zander]

I hope we get to see some of these players: Scott Sio, James Hanson, Paddy Ryan, Sam Carter, Hugh Pyle, Nic White, Matt To'omua, Henry Speight, Kyle Godwin, Jesse Mogg, Peter Betham

That's crazy! We flog our players until they're injured. That's when fringe players get a go!

Yeah, especially after the Lions and the TRC this season. It's a pretty brutal year for some of those blokes.

Will "The Human Eclipse" Skelton has to tour. You can't coach hugeness. Looks like he's a bully too. His first 50 minutes last night were awesome. His involvement and physicality were spot on. He just needs game time. Keep him playing and next year he may be ready for a crack at the Rugby Championships.

 

[USARugger]

Can't Speight to watch Henry bamboozle some soap-dodger defenses

Scott Fardy

 

[Tomikin]

Speight really would be the first picked wallabies winger if available

Remember it's now a grand slam tour. I would imagine all players would want to go. We should send the best available and not an OZ A side

There is an agreed limit on the number of matches a player can play during the season, 30 I think. Can anyone provide a list of those players who might be in danger of exceeding that limit if selected for the EYOT?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Will a game on the bench only be counted as one of the 30 games allowable, or is this limit based on being named in the Match Day 22/23 thirty times?

Not a grand slam tour, your not playing France.

 

[Braveheart81]

Not a grand slam tour, your not playing France.

A Grand Slam tour is the four home nations.

 

[Zander]

A grand slam tour is Scotland, Wales, England, Ireland.

 

[KevinO]

I was thinking towards 6 Nations grand slam and having to beat all of the teams involved.

 

[Zander]

7 EOYT matches is a bit of an ask.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Shhhhh......... Don't give the ARU any ideas.........
