So the Wallabies rested their key players in 2023 and still couldn`t get out of their RWC pool. Didn`t NZ franchises rest their All Blacks too and played in the RWC final nearly winning it. This playing more games wont make a difference as the Wallabies have a poor pool of players will limited skill.
Controversial Rugby Australia policy to be shelved after Wallabies disaster

Losing Douglas early helped Australia imo.

You forgot Ikitau and Kellaway. 😱
Honey Badger 2.0: Tom Hooper takes centre stage with a blizzard of one liners and candid self reflection
If Quade is dropped you may as well drop Slipper Porecki and White. It looks like Eddie is developing the future.He probably knows he wont win the RWC, so why not experiment now with young fellas for 2027. Still bizarre Quade our best flyhalf won`t be there, but Vunivalu will be ? Why?

Maybe that`s why the Crusaders do so well. 😱
The two-week observation: The Wallabies can play low possession rugby OR find the Australian way – but not both
The whole team has been under-whelming . But i do believe QC was one of the best against Argentina.
'Why is Quade running this team?': All Blacks great doubles down on selection issue, Fozzie says Eddie is 'right'
Holloway and Hanigan are not the answer at 6. They are at best reserve locks if the first choice locks are unavailable. They do not have enough impact with the ball in hand and their breakdown work is poor for a backrower. Eddie needS to give someone else a crack. Liam Wright needs to have a go at 6.

Who after Valetini is the next best 8?
What Eddie noticed about Harry Wilson, and why Aussies and Kiwis should play a season in Europe
I don`t agree Skelton is one of our best players. He plays in a club comp. He has played over 20 tests and has been underwhelming in every one of them.
Too many locks are in front of him with vastly superior skills.
If Eddie picks him, it`s a massive blunder.
ANALYSIS: Why pick Richie Arnold, and what does Wallabies call up tell us about how Eddie wants to play?
Jez, do you know how they choose/ determine which players that must be stood down and rested ? Does RA instruct the franchises or is it Eddie? Would the players rested have to have played a test match in 2022 to be eligible for a stand down? Do you know how it works?
I`d assume certain starters regulars and players who have played a test match in 2022 like Petaia, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Pete Samu, Paisami, Kellaway, Ikitau, Lolesio, Gordon, McDermott, Leota, Hanigan, Gleeson, Foketi, White, L Lonergan, McReight, Neville, Valetini, AAA, Slipper, Bell, Holloway, O’Connor, Campbell, Hooper, Donaldson, Faainga a` Wright and Frost would be stood down, but what about others who have not played a test match at all and ones who have played for Australia but before 2022 and other players are on the fringes who look good prospects for a test debut in 2023 ?
Thanks.
SRP Round 5 teams: Rebels lose key men, Tate benched, Brumbies rest FIVE Wallabies, Waratahs suffer injury crisis
Nice, but disagree with Foketi. Has not done anything this year or last year imo.
He is also too brittle for test rugby.
Needs to build up his body so he is over 105 kilos for the rigours of test rugby.
Not big enough yet.
Job done: Brumbies given fright but lethal back three, superb bench seal perfect start to Super season
Muirhead and Marika for Walllaby wings. Add Samu Kerevi Quade Tate Ikitau and Wright. There is your backline.
White Petaia Paisami bench.
Unlucky for Kellaway Campbell Toole and Ryan Lonergan but they are the next best.

Top NRL players dont play rugby as RA cannot afford them.
Eddie Jones' answer is NRL backs, Peter V'landys should lend him a few
The Wallaby jersey sure has been devalued by Dave Rennie. Fair dinkim most of those Waratah Wallabies were pummeled by the lesser known Rebels lads.
Carter Gordon, IIi , Wilkin Gibbon Cobus Louwrens Anderson Hardwick Kemeny had cracking games. Tah Forward leaders Swinton Hooper and Holloway were very disappointing.
And what is Nadolo doing playing SRP in that condition. A disgrace, Coleman needs a reality check if he thinks that bloke is SRP material in that condition.
'Shake up this comp': Fearless Rebels punish 'loose' Waratahs in huge upset as Hardwick, Gordon shine
I think Zach once he finished his studies at the Scots college will go play fulltime rugby with the Roosters. Nice of Scots College to accommodate educate and get him in good shape to play NRL.
'Could be a zinger for World Cup': RA chair says Eddie is in NRL's 'heads' as star name dropped
Yep good for Schoupp to stay where he is with legends in AAA and Slipper to learn from.He will learn nothing in Sydney. And they don`t want him anyway. They preffered Holz, who is not much chop.

To be honest i like Toole better. That kid is super quick, he burnt Jorgensen for speed a couple of times.

Even the Stan commentators ( Sean Maloney) stated he was 188cm when he was running round with Aussie A. So believe what you will.

Whats up with Wright now? or did i miss something somewhere?

I thought Ned Hanigan was the best loose forward on the planet.

The Tahs have a Wallaby stacked backline, 5 i believe.

It`d toughen the powder puff potential wallaby flyhalves up if they received a few rib ticklers.
