Doubt that. He was in the spring tour squad last year before Kiss was named. He’s just 1 of a very short list of options plain and simple.

Schmidt selected Edmed over Lynagh on the end of year tour.
After Lolesio, Lynagh and Donaldson were all injured he was the bench option behind JOC (James O'Connor), and then promoted to start when it looked like JOC (James O'Connor) may not be back for Bled two.
As above. Last man standing

If he wants to go, let him. Plenty of good prospects who want to play in Australia.

Lynagh and Donaldson were both fit for both Bledisole Tests. Tane was just preferred over them

Edmed got himself selected on the EOYT from his form in the NPC. Might not be the guy now but he earnt the call up at the time.

This is where I hope Super Rugby Aus shifts to a H/A next year.
Would be good to have Lynagh get an opportunity to test out a hammy at match speed and get the cobwebs off. I think the majority of the piggies would get shut down for a deserved rest but would be good for the fringe backs who see sporadic mins of Test footy get out there for 50-60 mins.

Donaldson they choose to give him game time first in Super Rugby AU otherwise his last game would have been eight weeks
different with someone like Gordon as Lonergan and Thomas had one test between them

He was, Doran and the other major journalists confirmed he was, why else would he be in the squad

Lynagh was named in the Bledisloe squad and not in the unavailable list.
Unknown if his hammy progressed or not while in camp but he was in the squad.

Carter Gordon will be joining the spring tour by the sounds - just posted in the Reds thread but his signing and NRL release being finalised today.
Schmidt and Kiss must really dislike Edmed and Donaldson if the report about paying $100k to the Titans just to have Gordon released ASAP is true.

It's crazy to think that until this comp the vast Australian franchise players would effectively be doing nothing from the end of SS / HC til the next SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) pre-season.
Extending Super Rugby AU to 6 games is probably the perfect for what we need:
- Gives fringe players a go
- Keeps players battle harden
- Helps players rehab back from injuries
- Good for refs to get more experience (I thought they were fantastic)
- Festival type events with double headers are fun
