Interesting squad to say the least, wouldn't read too much into this initial squad. The match day 23 within it isn't half bad. I vaguely remember cheika justifying a lot of european based players for the world cup claiming they had a bit of inside knowledge on european rugby maybe he is...

George partridge is seriously quick! would easily be the fastest in the Q20's if selected. he may find it tough considering the backline talent Queensland has got though.

Do you think any of these players will also travel to the usa? Particularly Naiyaravoro and christian Lealiifano? Would be interesting to see if cheika plays Taqele for future and Lealiifano for the match fitness incase he is needed in the world cup.

jeez i thought the 19 for country when he came on made an impact. fairly decent game to watch, end to end stuff! QLD C set piece is strong and the rising's breakdown work was excellent.

it was 5 a.m in mendoza when he sent it, surely he was on the sauce....ah i really thought he had turned over a new leaf

loving this bench impact that has become a real strength of the wallabies in the last 2 games no matter who comes on!

Yeah i would have liked Quade to be given another crack with To'omua outside him.

From the video on the ARU youtube channel looks like what slim said is correct, with Joe Tomane training with that backline also. Skelton also looked to be training with the likely starting side.

good video with Cheika explaining some specifics https://www.periscope.tv/w/aG8uQzcwNTA5MjN8MzY5OTY0NzVOtublEL37eHYrJ2qRN4xOgpPM0HYp05XIp_4ZyouhOw==

"We have also taken the opportunity to rest players, as we know it is going to be a long international season.” possible reason for Palu's exclusion?

changes i would have made coleman for mumm Jones for dennis Vea for McMahon JOC (James O'Connor) for Beale

Sean McMahon is in the squad

Dennis in over Jones....seriously?

Will there be a live stream of tonights game?

i think he is playing alright nothing like what was described. Forwards letting the team down. shocking handling from most, centres in particular. lukhan has made some decent runs.
