Kellaway can’t come back soon enough, hopefully next week, Wright needs to go.
When you need a 100% full strenght to win a game, you are in trouble. This was a 90/95% full strenght side. Who were missing? Tupou, Kellaway and that's all. Maybe Rory Arnold who isn't gonna play under Eddie so

wright needs to be dropped.
I don't think so and I'm not a big fan of Tom Wright. It's just like the hooker stuff. You don't have a top class fullback waiting his opportunity.

The options are:

Kellaway: Injured
Petaia: Injured with a long injury record
Banks: In Japan
Campbell: Struggling in a beaten Australia A side
JOC (James O'Connor): A former player
Hodge: The worst player in Pretoria defeat

Folau was an option till late last year!

Skelton had a strong match.
Holloway had a strong first half.
McReight is up to it
Gordon is up to Test footy comfortably
Marky is a special outside back talent
Bell looked ready to go
I gave you a thumbs up though I disagree with 'McReight' is up to it. Fetchers are not having the same impacts as they use to have in a game. In-fact I don't think McReight got one this game. Would much rather see them use Gleeson or Samu. Preference is Gleeson as openside. Much more explosive and more impactful.

That's right cause this is probably the worst full strenght WBs side I can remember. I saw bad performances in times of Deans, McKenzie, Cheika or Rennie but always missing some key players or injury crisis.

I never see a full strenght WBs side at home playing so pathetic rugby. And this is the full strenght side, no excuses. You are missing Tupou and no more. Maybe Kellaway and that's all. Hooper is not the best openside flanker on form anymore
Marce. I totally agree with you. Bell, Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase), Skelton and Hollaway I thought played well, that's it. Problem is I don't think anybody from Australia A put up there hands to replace any body in this team. Maybe bring back Frost for Arnold and bring Tupou into the 23.

Yeah, I agree, McReight never really got into it. Not writing him off at all, I think he is a special player, but I wonder if someone like Gleeson might have given us more in that game.

And all those performances aren't enough at this level. So if you lose 2 or 3 of those guys you are fucked

I mean, if you lose those guys the Pumas or 5th to 10th nation can easily beat you at home. This is probably the biggest chance for Fiji in a RWC

That was a shocker. Refereeing was laughable but the Wallabies played shit anyway so it probably didn't make a big difference. I was a fan of Wright, but fuck me he cannot play full-back. He'd be lucky to be put on the wing.

How hard could it possibly be to get another australia a game against Samoa or tongs organized
