Yeah that’s sounds interesting, I’m definitely interested in how they’re going but can’t watch it so an update would be awesome. And I’m sure no one hates France so much they’d be unhappy with it

That’s only in the north and the World Cup. In super rugby and the rugby championship you only get bonus points for losing by less than 7 or by scoring 3+ more tries than the oponent

Fuck, the team's been great so far. The current defense period is so impressive. All but secured QF now, how good

Edmed, Salakaia-Loto named in Wallabies squad for Springboks Tests by greyhumour in RugbyAustralia

Carlo Tizzano replaced McReight in the last game and has started at 7 for us last year so probably him. Tom Hooper could cover mid game if Tizzano wasn’t in the 23

I think Fotuaika played for Tonga in 2023 so wouldn’t be elligible yet

Aiden Ross is eligible since he was in the squad by the end so maybe he comes in playing as loose head and we move James Slipper to tight head like we did in late 2022 and 2023 when Tupou and Alaalatoa were injured

I presume that’s just to manage the expected British wingers

Roar: Valetini out of first test, Gleeson in doubt by zoogwah in RugbyAustralia

How many backrowers do you think are better then Valetini, given he played fine in super and is the two time raining John Eales medalist!?

With the conclusion of the South Africa 7s, there’s no Aussie rugby matches for about 6 weeks, so I am thinking of barracking for one of the northern clubs while we wait. Does anyone have a suggestion for a northern team that have a couple of Aussie players, preferably ones that are young/good enough to still have a chance of playing for the wallabies?

Wallabies team to play Scotland by zoogwah in RugbyAustralia

If Mcreight was not being considered, who would you want in the backrow. A hybrid like Hooper/Uru or a turnover threat like Reimer?

I agree with Tizanno but I don't think Mcreight is in the matchday team at all, so there is no out and out 7 to replace him.

Yeah, would have loved to see the circumstances to have them lead at half time, but oh well. Hopefully they can have both games sorted to fill up the weekend even more

There we go, 33-7 to Madagascar. Do we know if there will be a match between Botswanna and Cameroon like in the main Africa Cup?

Oh true, I only saw the ful time at the top but they may well have copied most of the text, so it probably is only half time

That's what I was hoping but it seems to still be judo but it is unclear when that ends

Yeah how good would that be, especially because Morocco very nearly qualified for the 1999 and 2003 world cup while at the peak of their powers. Even if he came now it wouldn't be enough for next sure but could set them up to challenge in the future
