The powerhouse winger is set to add international class and try-scoring prowess to the NSW back line next season.

Is that really him in the photo? It looks like a grizzled old prop rather than a winger to my eyes.

not lost to aussie rugby at least, he's done a good job
It is a bit of a paradox though, these good coaches move up to the international scene, so lesser or at least less experienced coaches take over...but then you risk the players not being as good when the come through and then you dont have enough time to actually "fix" them

Not my video, but something everybody has said for a long time; dispersal of talent.

Japan stun Wallaroos for historic Test win
An off night with the boot from Lori Cramer and some impatient play has cost the Wallaroos in a reality-check 12-10 Test loss to Japan.

@antipodean definitely agree with the idea of picking combo's, it just has to cut down on learning curves when they have limited time in AB camp

Is this the year of the Wallabies?
When I start to piece together a top Australian 23 from the players involved with Super Rugby only (excluding the likes of Samu Kerevi playing in Japan), one thing is pretty clear - the Wallabies look to have a great balance of experience and X factor to give the All Black’s a real crack at the Bledisloe in 2022.
I’ve tried having a go at a match day 23 but I’m sure there is plenty of room for debate. I’ve gone for the injection of youth with Bell, Lonergan and Wilson in the pack and I have kept the cart horse that is Hodge well away from the backs.
Is this 23 better than the All Blacks top side? That remains to be seen, however there is some exciting talent in Australia atm. I’ve probably missed a couple of players aswell.
- Angus Bell
- Lauchlan Lonergan
- Taniela Tupou
- Matt Philip
- Darcy Swain
- Rob Valetini
- Michael Hooper
- Harry Wilson
- Tate McDermott
- James O’Connor
- Andrew Kellaway
- Len Ikitau
- Izaia Perese
- Jordan Petaia
- Tom Banks
- Folau Fainga’a
- James Slipper
- Michael Ala’alatoa
- Izack Rodda
- Pete Samu / Fraser McReight
- Nick White
- Noah Lolesio
- Hunter Paisami

That’s my concern aswell, I feel Australia are a lot more settled than we are in terms of combinations.
