    21 & 22 feels like a pretty low number for halfway through the 15th season.

    Holy shit, there's some fluency when Carter isn't the sole player capable of distributing the ball beyond first receiver.

    He's not alone in getting smashed, but I think we're seeing why Cabous has been left out of the squads thus far.

    Wallabies 2024

    Kerevi has a lot of work to do based on his 2023 season and Schmidts stated preference for domestic players.

    TT is the type of player who would be valued most by European side. Plays tighthead, plenty of international experience, bit of a big name to help sell some tickets/jerseys.

    MRRU was my shorthand for "whoever's controlling the business outside of Rugby Australia" rather than necessarily the former governance team.

    I would be interested to see exactly what control the MRRU administrators have over the ability to make arrangements for a player presumably receiving a national top up as part of his contract, and hence (at least in a way) dual employed.
