I think so yeah.
Chieka likes getting new options in for a look very early on.
Meakes, Houston, Koroibete were in the first training squads they were available for. I think Nabuli was too.

I love the inclusion of Meakes. He strikes me as a Cheika-style player. Hard, direct and skilful. Loves confronting the opposition too, which is a trait that successful Cheika coached teams have had.

Whatever team you put out in the Summer will be enough.
You'll beat Fiji's forwards, which will win you the game.
You'll beat Italy because they're Italy.
And you'll beat us because you're better than us at full strength and we'll be missing at least 4-6 of our best side between Injury and BILs duty.
So you should just select for the Championship.

Barring injury,

Might need the Tahs to start playing Izzy back at 15.

Folau isn't in form and isn't playing fullback, and others like DHP who are in form and playing fullback offer a kicking game that Folau can't bring to the Wallabies, honestly struggling to understand how Folau can be the starting fullback based on this season

I will caveat that with, Folau is that talented that i don't think he should be dropped from the starting side, i actually think wing will benefit him more.

Folau should be wing but won't. Cheika as usual will have all teh players moving around into different spots left right and centre. Folau will do set moves at 13. Go back for counter attacking opportunities at 15 and defend normal play probably on the wing so DHP can organise the field positioning. Such a mess.

Folau was moved back to fullback but then went back to 13 when Horne got re-injured. Assuming Horne is fit Folau will be back at 15 from now and Clarke will go back to the wing. But I agree, DHP offers more at fullback and Folau should be used as a finisher.

This raises the question, are we coaching to much structure, rather than free flowing support the ball rugby. Izzy is gifted, but are we taking away his gifts through structure?

Based on last 12 months form Israel SHOULD be dropped but no-one has the balls to do that. DHP should be fullback with Hunt being backup.
To me the really interesting question is over Moore, not only as hooker but also captain.
It seems Latu is the obvious choice based on form but he also, whilst getting turnover ball, leaks quite a few penalties. Ready has not impressed at all this year but Mafi did last weekend. Hanson will be in the mix for a start or bench spot.
IF Moore is dropped by Cheika, who becomes captain ? The chorus out there will be calling for Hooper. IMO he is not captain material. I don't believe (just my opinion) he is a team man but puts himself first.
Foley will be one of the first blokes picked. I don't know whether he has ever captained but he seems well respected by the group and a much more measured man than Hooper.
Whilst I disagree, I think Moore will be retained as captain for the mid year tests and then be tapped before the EOYT.
To me, that will be the most interesting selection position.
Luckily for us those tests SHOULD be quite easy wins

I'd be very surprised if Taf plays for the Wallabies again.
You have Moore hovering and a few good prospects including Latu, Hansen, Mafi, Ready and probably some others in the wings.
Time to look ahead methinks
