    Holloway adds fuck all - good to move on.

    IFL is a good call as a 9. Excellent bench player for up tempo.

    The stubborness with Donaldson and Vunivalu is strange.

    Apparently Donaldson can play in the forwards so that is why he is sticking with him

    That must be the least experienced squad in the RWC, at least among Tier 1 nations. I only know like half the players, and I watch most of Super Rugby

    He'd offer less than Holloway, so less than fuck all?

    Every time I look back I notice something else- Skelton Captain - man oh man

    Oh so that is what the (C) stands for 🙂

    Apparently it's the least experienced Wallaby squad in the professional era.

    At the end of the tournament Eddie will either be a genius or sacked!

    It is not necessarily an either/or.

    @Tim Samu was dropped from their most recent squad, so perhaps a lesser surprise.

    Did his form drop off? Looked a good worker for the Wallabies last I saw him play for them...

    @nostrildamus Ikitau and Samu were two of Australia’s best last year. Eddie has completely lost the plot.

    But should be available for first or second game. Worth the risk

    Are you confused with Kemeny who they've picked as a loose forward/wing utility?

    Or pretty much any of the previous years going back a decade. It's a rich field of utter incompetence.

    The new CEO is saying we should all go support premier rugby clubs. Why?

    Because 35 year old Quade or fallen off of a cliff Michael Hooper was going to make a difference?

    @KiwiMurph I don't think it's controversial to say that omitting those 2 aren't the worst things RA HQ have done recently

    If you watched the Blues/Waratahs QF this year, it was clear that Hooper was absolutely gone. He was so dominated by the Blues loose forwards.

    Eddie obviously just drawing a line in the sand and building for the future. He’s playing with house money in the tourney as expectations are at their lowest. The game ain’t in Hooper no more, but feel for him as nobody in international rugby has copped as many hidings and been as good a player as him.
