Pretty bang on for me. Happy for Van Nek and Canham to learn, they're clearly talents for the future. Would rather Salakai-Loto over Hanigan.
Australia A - Back on the Cards
- Thread starter Tomikin
- Start date

I'd have Canham ahead of Hanigan as a lock, but I'd also have Hanigan ahead of Swinton at 6. Swinton outside the 23 unless it's 6-2, in which case Walton probably drops out. Obviously changes a bit if any of the Wallabies squad or rehab group drop in.

You've got two tight head props starting, and two loosehead props on the bench...

I never really did understand what happened up the front of the scrum!!
Ok, Lambert to start and Fa’amausili to the bench.

On super form I thought both of them would play hahaha,
I'm guessing one of the hybrids might miss out as in Uru/Hanigan/LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)
Rv noNek prob ahead of Talakai maybe

Very good side
My take
Toole back and available and I thought if he was off the injured list he would make the Aus A side, not wallabies yet
Not a bad side considering top 40 in wallabies squad and 3 more injured!
not included but we’re in original side
I suspect paisami and daugunu may still be injured ? That would be the only reason sapsford had been bought in?
swain maybe injured or not making it
Not surprised on gamble, cale and Tuttle missing the cut
I expect a few to push toward wallabies again, Pone, Fainga'a, Neville, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Wilson and foley
still can’t bellieve mafi, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Liam Wright can’t make this squad, and Noah but Noah did not deserve it this yeah

I thought HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)'s scrummaging had gone way backwards this season.

Didn’t come back from the early/mid season injury in the same form he started.

Exactly as it should. It's only a few games until the RWC. New Zealand have done the exact same thing

Your right on point this is exactly what it’s for
It’s the next best up as a selection for RWC, not a development squad for just younger guys
If younger guys are good enough they can make it but still gives the next guys a chance to make the main squad

I honestly don’t even know who that is. Getting skinny now.
Happy for Schoup though. Good prospect

Appears that you may not watch many Force matches, he is a loosehead prop, that usually comes on for Tom Robertson or starts when Tom has been injured.
He too has had some injury issues, but looks like he if finally getting it together, at 25 years old and 119kg, has good potential to reach a higher ceiling

31 matches 8 starts in 4 season… Yeah I guess it’s my bad.
Hope he absolutely brains them. More Props the better but gee it shows why our development sucks. Blokes running around in the English U20s with 20+ Premiership games already.

He missed the most part of the 21/22 season as he he suffered a serious knee injury in a pre-season match just as he was starting to make his mark. Got back into it last year with a few niggles, so hopefully an injury free run this year will help him set a good platform to grow and develop from.
He has played a few more matches and starts than Blake:
