Wallabies 2023

I can't imagine Foley, Hooper or Quade have bad habits tbh.

Slipper's carrying an injury now too, Gibbon is close-by..

Maybe ‘losing frequently’ is the primary bad habit Eddie cared about. At both club and international level.

Slipper, White, and Skelton are in better club set ups with more of a winning/successful culture.

It will be interesting to see how JOC (James O'Connor) goes since he is in the extended RWC training squad, which would indicate he is the back-up 10 if Gordon goes down.

Could be Foley as well, I assume he's not allowed to play this match (per his Japanese club).

 

[Viking]

Good point on Foley. Lolesio is also in France so could be a smokey if he finds some form (and Gordon went down).

I would have thought with Qaude out Scott Sio be on the Rader, he'd be a massive second half prop. But guess his not been involved at all

Yes. I believe this is the reason.

Just touched down in France. EVERY Frenchman I’ve spoken to is fearful of a Wallaby resurgence at RWC 2023. Saw the Wallabies train yesterday. Sharp. Lads are on.

So you've spoken to only 1 Frenchie who actually follows rugby?

Can't imagine they care about Australia, they're facing either SA or Ireland in the quarters.

Gee - tough crowd.

Not sure this is correct, I thought JOC (James O'Connor) was just training at Darwin to cover for Kerevi and same with Fainga'a/Uelese. Think you might be reading a bit more into it. Barbarians form will be important

 

[Joe Blow]

Uru was a beast…..and at 7. Switched to the second row in the second. JOC (James O'Connor) looked sharp as did Swinton and Lonergen at 9.
A good hit out for the back ups no doubt.

Yes

Are there going to be Live Sites for the Wallabies games in Sydney?

Unlikely given the times of the games. If we make the final, then I reckon there’s a big chance.

 

[rugbyAU]

Hopefully they to one for the Final and maybe the QF if we play England, doubt they'll be many that would go to the 2am Monday games against Portugal, Georgia & Fiji
