I dunno. For me he’s been the same as he’s always been. He’s steady but no more. He got a gig with the Wallabies when the cupboard was bare and with a forwards coach who had background with him. Guys like Pollard, Lonergan & Asiata have all improved and bring more IMO and he doesn’t have the advantage of already having been inside one of Schmidt’s squads. There’s nothing wrong with him there are just more players in good form IMO. Anyway - we’ll find out soon enough.

I think there will be little new blood for the Lions in the pigs wherever possible

Largely agree. But if Faessler & BPA are out injured than that only leaves (from memory) Nasser & Pollard as guys with recent tests. And Nasser’s season has been pretty disrupted too.

I’m not sure that Porecki’s handful of tests played two years ago under different coaches are going to get that much traction over Lonergan who also has test experience and is playing regularly and looks to have moved past him. Maybe it’ll keep him in front of Dolly & Asiata but I’m dubious. Neither of them are rookies, both are playing better and both look like they have significant upside that Porecki doesn’t have.

I don't think lonergan will be in the mix, as he is too small a frame. I also don't think he's outplayed dolly.

I'd have dolly ahead of porecki's first game, but don't think porecki is out of consideration at this early stage of return.

Well use ya commonsense, the kid is nowhere near wallabies material at the moment. He’s only just getting through super rugby for the tahs lol He bombed a try last week that could have won us the game

ok say that then and argue your point like a normal person rather than accuse someone of family ties. I can see you're new here but in future it's the quickest way to tell the forum that you're a fuckwit

Rob Simmons has played an absolute shitload of professional rugby. 106 tests for the Wallabies with his last test in 2020 and he's still going. Also an incredibly injury free career in terms of serious injuries over a 17+ year career.

He's signed for two more years with Clermont as well

Could get to 400 pro games
