Wales v Australia

[NTA]

Half a dozen concussions versus Ireland. Yeesh...

[NTA]

Christ

The fact that they don't have to cancel this match speaks volumes about the quality of the Australian squad

If we weren't outside the window we could pick a few clubbies from Premier like we did with Ollie Hoskins last year.

@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

Bold words.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@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

We can certainly do their left winger

I'd go Milat, I @ 7

[Bones]

@booboo think they're looking for those handy to Twickers.

@Bones OK. He's probably not available. Or at least not as effective as he once was.

Big family though.

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

[MiketheSnow]

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

[Bovidae]

Donaldson starting over Lolesio is a surprise, unless Rennie wants the NSW 9-10 combo.
