Wallabies 2023

[Bullrush]

Wait until you find out what Gatland did to the old Welsh players haha

Yeah...Pete Samu is old.

And Gatland dropped players who were injured or retired.....so - yeah....just like EJ (Eddie Jones)

You can keep playing the same charade that he is and pretend that this squad was picked to win. As I said from the start, it doesn't fool any of us.

 

[Goosestep]

Exciting?

I'd be excited if I were a Fiji, Wales or Georgia fan.

I said Pete Samu - not Hodge.

Wonder if the the squad might be different if we were in a different pool?

Does Eddie think he can get across the line in at least 3 games and build before a quarter?

No

People lost their goddamn minds, there’s only one player there (Ikitau) better than their opposite.

 

[HogansHeros]

This thread has gone mad. Keen to see how the boys do. A lot of exciting talent in there!

Enough with the Pete Samu talk. We know you love him because he played for the Crusaders, but the fact is he had an average season, is playing overseas next year, and he has been a Wallaby under 3 coaches, had 22 caps and never cemented a position. It’s close between he and Gleeson, and they went with the higher potential player

You believe the Welsh players retired on their own terms? Haha sure buddy

This squad is picked to win just as much as one with all the mediocre players that you think are world beaters for some reason

I’m personally offended that Cam Roigard was picked over Brad Weber, shows me NZ isn’t serious about winning the World Cup

I’m sure none of those teams aren’t hoping just a little but that Carter Gordon pulls a hammie in the captain’s run before their game…

 

[rugbyAU]

Bit worried about Jorgensen coming in at 18, having not played since May

 

[eastman]

Maybe there's a judgement that he'd be a bad influence on the team, and that his "experience" isn't wanted?

You mean that influence that has won him four John Eales and eight Matt Burke awards as chosen by his peers? The influence that has him basically universally respected by players?

 

[qwerty51]

One last thing, seems like everyone’s just forgotten his comments about you needing 5 guys in the squad who are just great to be around the squad rather than there for performance and also have utility value.

 

[qwerty51]

There’s genuinely not a single thing on the rugby field Pete Samu does better than Langi Gleeson.

Hooper could play warm up v France according to Tom Decent. WTAF

I hate the Crusaders. Try again.

Pete Samu - the Wallabies best player in two Bledisloe Tests last year…..yeah.

No. This team isn’t picked to win. And pretending that Roigard over Weber is even close to what EJ (Eddie Jones) has done here is just silly.

Weber should have been selected over Findlay. LOL

Yes there’s a shadow squad basing themselves in the UK, there’s also an Aus A match v Portugal and match v Barbarians. What’s so strange about that ?

Wasn’t Hooper’s non-selection based largely on his calf injury?

 

[qwerty51]

It’s a factor when he’s hanging by a thread against McReight and Gleeson. If he was Angus Bell with the same injury he’d be in, make sense?

Why are you so worked up about it anyway. Aren't you a kiwi?

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Also believe Eddie maintained the gateau law of 3 maximum…

Laws limiting cake intake?

Not cool.

possibly why Skelton lost so much weight in a short time
