This is my first attempt at an article on The Roar so I thought I’d try something fun to ease some of the interstate tensions we have going on around here.
This year we have seen a lot of talent unearthed in Australia through the National Rugby Championship.
It has been fun to watch our local talent grow throughout the competition and more importantly has given rugby a bigger fan-base throughout more regional areas.
I think it’s a step in the right direction and is just another step in getting Australian rugby back on track.
Which brings me to the Wallabies. While we all love getting on The Roar and having a whinge about selections, scrum technique, poor basics and all the rest of it, we often do not leave time discussing what’s good with Australian rugby.
One of those good things is the depth we have developed of late. So my challenge to all of you is to pick a second string Wallabies XV from whoever is not on tour in Europe. That means anyone we have left in Australia who is eligible for Wallabies selection.
