I don't know if they (Schmidt or Skelton) have made that call yet. Probably not based on past years, but I think it's largely down to Skelton himself so it may change if he feels like he has unfinished business coming out of the lions series.

Ok fair enough, I genuinely think the Wallabies have looked good. I do agree defense needs to get on front foot a bit more, but would be surprised if they don't sort that out. Still we will wait and see, the hard part is SA at start, and I just think they could have a lot sorted by the end of that mini tour at least.

Are we ever going to go 6-2 bench again, or is it time to accept that the rugby gods hate us, and we will always pay a price for thinking it's going to work out OK this time.
Related question, what did we do to get this curse put upon us?

Was Israel right?
I was literally thinking the exact same thing right before Potter ripped his hammy.
Although Tate was pretty damn good on the wing which I've always thought would be the case. Perhaps Toole may actually go alright.

Tate was great. But we very much missed him over the last 20 at 9
I've always thought Gleeson has the initial burst to go alright in the midfield in a pinch. He would need some help defensively but it would be nice to try some different things. Cale appears an option there too.
That’s rough.
TT to start Nongorr to finish.
Ross/roberston and Bell.
Nongorr might struggle at scrum time but no more than roberston and he’ll carry strongly imo.

I think he's a bit weaker at scrum compared to Robbo but offers more in other areas

Massimo de Lutiis is the next BIG thing.

6-2 want the issue
Tate did a good job.
Donaldson should’ve gone in at 65-70 and would’ve kicked that ball into touch with fresh legs and could’ve just pelted the ball down field.
I think we needed LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and maybe TT and again, they needed to make these subs ex AAA and BV later. Skelton had another 10 in him

Hodgman is injured
Kailea was developing well and then he went to the Tahs
On the other hand, AAA is likely in career best form, has been great, and Slipper has had a shocking late career revival of form.
Personally, I'm on the fence re Nonggorr, he has all of the tools to be great, but it doesn't seem to be coming together.

You're talking after Ross I assume? How far down the pecking order is Kailea now?
