RWC squads 2023

Another knee injury in training. What paddocks are these guys training on? I know the number two pitch at Stade Toulousain is artificial.

Edit - It appears Manu Samoa's base is Montpellier, not Toulouse.

Tripped over the carpet

Niuia replacing Tolai.

Tonga must have an injured prop as I've been told that Siate Tokolahi is to join their squad.

@Bovidae Yes, this was posted on their FB page, yesterday:

From the SMH -
Uncapped Wallabies rookie Max Jorgensen’s Rugby World Cup is over after picking up an ankle injury that will force Australia to bring in an emergency replacement for the remainder of the tournament in France.
After coming off a long-term knee injury, Jorgensen, 19, was the bolter in Eddie Jones’ Wallabies squad and would have been eyeing a Test debut against Portugal in Saint-Etienne next week.

Jorgensen suffered a serious ankle injury at a behind-closed-doors training session.

Jorgensen went up to catch a high ball and landed badly.

The teenager was taken for scans, which revealed a fractured fibula.

Gidday, Quade, Eddie here. You know all those things I said about you being over the hill? Well I've been thinking about it and I've decided to give you another suck of the savvy, mate.

@MiketheSnow Drew Mitchell pretty much sums up the madness of Eddie in this rant.

Solomone Funaki (Tonga) just posted on instagram that his RWC dream has been cut short due to injury.

Lukhanyo Am has been called up to the Boks' RWC squad to replace the injured Mapimpi.
Surprised they did not pick another 9. They only have 5 of them.
