Wales v Australia

@Daffy-Jaffy said in Wales v Australia:
someone on an Aussie site named this unavailable 23 before we knew about Hooper.
Off season is going to be a long rest for some of these guys. And we won't see any improvement in the Super Rugby squads as a result.

Australia XV named
Think we can do them

@MiketheSnow According to Planet Rugby there are only 25 fit players left in the tour party including only 10 backs.

Rolf Harris at hooker would be sweet
Can push in scrums with two legs AND still hook the ball

Bold words.
We can certainly do their left winger

@MiketheSnow I hope Anscombe stays fit as Priestland on the bench would worry me.

Australia:
15 Tom Wright, 14 Jordan Petaia, 13 Len Ikitau, 12 Reece Hodge, 11 Mark Nawaqanitawase, 10 Ben Donaldson, 9 Jake Gordon, 8 Langi Gleeson, 7 Fraser McReight, 6 Jed Holloway, 5 Cadeyrn Neville, 4 Nick Frost, 3 Allan Alaalatoa, 2 Folau Fainga’a, 1 James Slipper (c)
Replacements: 16 Lachlan Lonergan, 17 Tom Robertson, 18 Sam Talakai, 19 Ned Hanigan, 20 Pete Samu, 21 Tate McDermott, 22 Noah Lolesio, 23 Jock Campbell -
No disrespect to Australia - it's great that they're able to field a competitive squad - but if we don't put them to the sword and win convincingly by scoring tries, then Pivac and Jones have to go
This is a MUST WIN match
Heart says Wales by 11-16
Head says it could go either way

Donaldson starting over Lolesio is a surprise, unless Rennie wants the NSW 9-10 combo.
Which is hardly a well-formed combo - Edmed was rotated as starting 10.
Of course, you have to question Gordon to begin with given his discipline hasn't been top notch.
BUT that selection is making Brumbies (Lolesio) and Reds (McDermott) fans shriek to the heavens, so that's a plus
If we win it'll taste even sweeter

I was at NSW Rugby HQ last night for a board meeting, in their fancy new offices opened less than a month ago.
All the office chairs have a cover on them in Waratahs colours, with the staff member's name. That was pretty cool.
One of the chairs also had Georgia flags printed and stuck all over it, except for the name. I get up closer and it was a name of Welsh origin
