Wallabies 2021

[Slim 293]

cant really tell if you are serious or not. perhaps better to wait another day or two on that call.

He is, and best just to ignore.........

Yikes. Hopefully not a repeat of last year where they were fit for majority of Super Rugby and next to none of the test season.

Not many people would have tipped 9. Lonergan 10. Lolesio as something we'd be seeing in the Wallabies this year.

This series is really shaping up to the battle of the cripples.

So who goes to 12?

 

[KOB1987]

9 Lonergan 10 Lolesio 12 Simone if you’re a Brumbies supporter.

9 McDermott 10 Lolesio 12 Foketi if you’re not

 

[Sword of Justice]

9 Lonergan 10 Lolesio 12 Simone if you’re a Brumbies supporter.

9 McDermott 10 Lolesio 12 Foketi if you’re not

Not a Brumbies fan but that second line up seems to have an incredible amount of risk with only marginal upside. Continuity would be counting for a lot with so few caps held by those two line ups.

The best 12 in the squad......... Paisami.

Unless I've missed the news he's also injured?

9 Lonergan 10 Lolesio 12 Simone if you’re a Brumbies supporter.

9 McDermott 10 Lolesio 12 Foketi if you’re not

Not a chance Foketi starts over Ikatu or Hodge

 

[Slim 293]

9. McDermott
10. Lolesio
11. Koroibete
12. Paisami
13. Ikitau
14. Wright
15. Banks.

Picks itself.........

That his probably the likely outcome, most have him at 13 as that’s where he’s been playing, but he would be a near shoe in at 12 now.

The first one has more risk at half back and equal risk at 12, so I wholeheartedly disagree.

9 McDermott
10 Lolesio
12 Paisami
13 Hodge

Ikitau at 12? No thanks.

 

[Dctarget]

Odd that To'omua and JOC (James O'Connor) would be ruled out so early….

I was thinking that too. White is different, it even made the national news.

Waratahs are happy to make TBC available.

That's not what I was suggesting. Ikitau at 13 with Hunter or Hodgie at 12.

9. McDermott

Take Koroibete out of that team and it has what, about 20 caps? fucken 'ell.

Interesting that Vunivalu is training too. Obviously not too far off being fit.

The original post was intended as a bit of a shit stir to exemplify our potential lack of experience, and I do agree with you.

Speechless.

Wasn't he at a butchers in east malvern today?

Not sure that backline, nor the bench, would challenge the ABs, but who knows, in a month or so.
