Prior to this season I would have agreed but he has been very good this season and deserves the spot

Too few Force. Well, maybe the correct number but one wrong person. FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) and Kuridrani (given the injury toll) are unlucky to miss out.
Surprised too that there are not more Reds. But who might have been considered unlucky? Petaia? Injured but so are quite a few who have been included (Perese, Gordon, Muirhead, Slipper). Vunivalu, ditto. Wright and Uru could probably be considered unlucky.
I am not at all thrilled to see Swinton named.
EDIT : Tom Robbo would be another who must have been close.

Not a fan. Hes technically sound but still doesn’t know how to use that bulk. I would prefer to see Hosea or Swain get a run.

Hosea, Godwin, Neville (assume injured), and Tom Robertson the unlucky ones.

Fair enough but his age does not bother me

No often we disagree BR but the closet Kuridrani should ever get to a Wallabies squad is the front row as a spectator.

Doesn't deserve a response but I'm generous today. One player isn't from 2021 (Philip), two have missed most of the season (Pone & Hodge), three will most likely be holding tackle pads (Kellaway, Leota, Wells). Leaving only To'omua, Koroibete and Naisarani as regular players who will actually feature. That's about it. Also we're not 0/10 nor a foreign legion team.

Agree about Robbo who can play both sides. With only 5 props Pone is a head scatcher. Did he even play any TT games?

Wells appears to be have been picked on form and justifiably so. Its refreshing to see a player picked on performance rather than myth, persona, reputation or via supporter vote!

To me it is not - foketi has been superb this season as even did some closer game analysis to see if centres were reason for leaking tries - which it was not - as was on edges and forwards where most of defensive lapses. Simone has to me offered very little compared to foketi this season. And if you told me last season I would be singing Foketi’s praises I would have thought you would be nuts...I did not last season even think he was a super rugby player and love it when players surprise you. Wells was the same as when at the Tahs did not think anything special but I have loved him at rebels this season and especially seeing his playing close up for the 2 rebels leichardt games I saw.

I completely forgot about Robertson!, how did Sio get a spot ahead of him? He looked like 10 seasons of Super Rugby had caught up with him or he played injured. Either way he looks like he needs a break & Robertson looked good.

I will bite and add my two'penth.
Philip in form is the best running lock we have. Pone must be development. Wells is pure form and will start. Koroibete is obvious. Leota and Kellaway are to test them. To'omua and Naisarani to double check that are beyond their respective best before dates; but do provide standby bodies and experience. Hodge is just to irritate most of us but does provide cover for every position in the backline.
