Feck, I've had plantar fascia pain. Real bastard of a niggle that one, takes a while and plenty of rest to get it to settle down but it does eventually. He should be fine next year though if properly managed. Send him back to QLD to enjoy the thunderstorms and a few weeks off.

Pretty much why I'd favour Wilson at 6 and Isi at 8. Wilson attacks best out wide and links well with his wingers. That is missing from his game playing at 8. Isi otoh hits it up hard in close and works extremely hard off the back of the scrum. Just like to see Isi used more, and be more effective, at lineout time to let Wilson hit it up in the midfield or wider off lineout.

I love Wilson’s work in tight.
I think it just comes down to who he is playing with and where they are best deployed, and I think all of the remaining choices have reasonable claims, without any of them ticking all the boxes.
In the first test I was surprised Rennie played Wilson wide and Samu in the middle. I wouldn’t mind seeing how Samu went if the roles were reversed.

Developed some mild plantar fasciitis on one foot and after some farting around, the podiatrist recommended those insert thingees. Orthotics? Anyway they were fucking shit for walking long distances but after doing that a few times in them, the pain cleared up.
It is a bastard if you don't catch it early.

With all the socials going off it looks like Pone Fa'amausili is going to get a run this weekend.

I think he was released which is why the socials are doing his 2020 journey as it's come to an end.

Yeh I think he was released.
I'm all for blooding new players but geez if he made his Wallabies debut this year, that'll do me. We're about to go up against one of the hardest forward packs in the world and playing a guy who is still so raw and can't hold his own scrumming at Super level would be ridiculous. Especially considering some much better options still ahead of him.

Valetini can cover there too which is probably why he got the nod.
