I didn’t realise that Lington Leli was in the squad in the first place. Maybe he’s picked Aus over Fiji.Toole released from the main squad and David Feliuai, Lington Ieli, Ryan Lonergan and Rory Scott from the training squad to prep for the Lions game.

Yeah understand that. Good for RA to keep him in the fold. He’s a very promising LHP!Ieli (as in capital i).
He wasn't in the Wallabies squad. He was added to camp as one of a number of training squad players for opposed sessions. They were all from the Tahs and Brumbies.
The 24-year-old, who is on the verge of signing a new Brumbies deal, hasn't played a game since March after having his season derailed by stress fractures.
There was hope he would be fit for the Super Rugby finals. When that deadline passed, the Lions became the new target.
But with Cale still struggling to get back to full-contact training, the Brumbies have opted for a cautious approach with his rehabilitation.
That means he will skip the Super Rugby AU competition later in the coming months with the view to having him fully fit for the start of pre-season training in November.
Any way getting a non paywall version?![]()
'I spat the dummy': the unexpected apology 12 years in the making
Jake White blindsided his players when he quit the Brumbies. Some have been slow to forgive.www.canberratimes.com.au
Any way getting a non paywall version?
What was the go with Hoiles? I always thought he was a good influence down in Brumbyland?I feel like it's a cop out to simplify brumbies 2012/13 as boring rugby. There were some great tries and after the utter embarrassment of 2011 there was a clean out and rebuild needed that I dont think that anyone but a hard-nosed saffa would have had the brazenness to do so. Epsom and Hoiles exemplified everything about the slide in standards post 2005 (injured and couldn't be bothered showing up with the squad to games).
Thanks Jake, your a weird bit of gear and absolutely had a dummy spit (rare self awareness) but I wish I could shake your hand and thank you for fixing the brumbies and setting us up to be the puppy-killers making finals year after year after year.
