Australia A - Back on the Cards

[Slim 293]

Nigel Ah Wong? That's a name I'd forgotten about...

There's a few old Canberra club rugby names in there though... Iona, Noa, Lam.

Here's the Samoan team.

Hopefully Jordan Taufua gets a run. Great backrow options but not really surprising they went with a traditional size 6. Wuold have been tempting to start Stowers also but hurting the lineout a bit.

Fritz Lee, debut at 33. Not bad.

Few names on the bench you woulda thought would start.

same, i thought Stowers & McFarland would have been a shoe in

Who's actually coaching this team?

edit: answered my own question

Jason Gilmore, the NSW Waratahs’ Defence Coach will act as Head Coach, with Brumbies Attack Coach Rod Seib, the Reds’ Defence Coach Michael Todd, and Rebels Forwards Coach Geoff Parling filling out the coaching staff.

what a day, way too much rugby

Bucket loads of reds in there

Only three brumbies!

 

[Wilson]

Very happy to see Stewart in 12, he is chronically underrated.

I must admit I’m a little disappointed to see hodge at 15 over Campbell. Mainly because I want to see Australia A be the next crop.

Look its not our 2nd best 23 but at least it gives some guys who could be playing against the lions in 5 years a chance early to play 3 pretty quality sides

 

[Dctarget]

That team looks like an okay super rugby team. Think they might in for a tough match.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Another loosehead playing tight.

How good to watch this australia a side

Only three brumbies!

Well if you got most of your side in the wallabies you would expect to see few brumbies - hence cough why you see so many more reds in the Australia A side.

 

[Purce]

Campbell and Hogde need to swap. What a stupid selection.

They are very light on with locks. Blythe would make that tight 5 look a bit bigger. Backrower at 4 and at 19... Eek.

I'm looking forward to these games

 

[WTF?]

Well done to Pollard, certainly a rising star. Exciting to watch this match too. Need to find a pub in Perth that will have it playing.
