I googled after. Dad played for Canberra, and his brother played lower levels and is now an assistant coach at Raiders (probably why he has this gig) Gits played league until 16, playing and winning under 19 comps I think

Yep 2026 tests + 2027 Super Rugby. Of course, if fit, and selected by the Wallaby coach, and if he doesn't re-sign with his Japanese side etc etc

Lolesio is on a one year deal in Japan, and will be available for all tests this year, and Super Rugby next year, if wanted

Is my memory correct - Gits played plenty of league in the juniors? I'm pretty sure his brother is involved at the Raiders somewhere too isn't he?

I don't think Kellaway has been this player for two years or so now - particularly struggles in defense these days He is a player whose reputation preceeds him

We have those two games against Japan in August this year. They'll be experimental sides, with probably 5 debutants in the away game alone. Fair chance the 1000th player is a random one capper who runs on for 5 mins at the end of the game in Tokyo

The alternative would be to not play trials at 1:30pm and 2pm

Was it a Qld U16 v Qld U17 front row? how did that look?

Anyone who remembers Growden fondly didn't read enough of his stuff. I'm not the first person to note how many great cricket writers there have been, and great books written, with no rugby union journalism or literature coming close. Even rugby league has "This sporting life"

He was assessed for an off field HIA on the second one too wasn't he? Which probably raises difficult questions about the off-field HIA process as well. Smart mouthguards have the same issue to an even larger extent - they just aren't that accurate at identifying a concussion, but medical staff...
