Wallabies need to select for the future and RWC. Schmidt will a choose new look Wallabies which will surprise many when he selects his initial squad end of next month.
Yes as he hasn't played international rugby for three years and his father was born in Melbourne, so definitely available for selection and with Angus Bell out for the rest of the SRP season it helps his chances. I didn't pick him but would not be surprised if Schmidt considers him.
I think dougunu shouldn't make the squad, someone like foketi, perese, or even someone new like tamati tui has him covered imo. Donaldson out, lygner in, I think he's shown to have grit in tough games. The wingers and fullbacks, Tom Wright is straight in, Kellaway in, toole in, and vunivalu in (he's become so consistent, just needs to work on not getting exposed out of position). And I love koroibete and Kerevi but I don't know if they are the ones we need at this point... obviously they are an asset to any team, but we have such awesome players to choose from Rn. I agree with ya forwards, who were u picking as captain?
@@fabianelliott96 Didn't consider Perese as he off to Leicester Tigers next season but besides that like all your other selections and definitely see your point with Koroibete and Kerevi. In terms of my captain, its a hard choice as there isn't a lot of experience from the players I have picked with leadership qualities, however if I had to choose right now I would probably do a co-captiancy of Skelton and McDermott. Again my opinion of this can change after SRP ends.
Thanks tim to this update.
Of course 👍
What is the actual squad size in terms of numbers? Cause The All Blacks are only taking 32 and your got 36.
Flyhalf has to have someone with a good goal kicking boot and vision. Just can't see Gordon leading well yet.
Fair point, in that case then who would be your Wallabies flyhalf ?
@@rugbyitch hard to say but I would be tempted to have Cooper or Beale but have someone like Tom Lynagh as under study.
@@rugbyitch Lolesio without a doubt, he was also the Australian 10 until the 2023 world cup

Hope you are right, thats the direction I also tried to go with when making my prediction.
I wouldn't be surprised if the squad Joey picks is near identical to yours.
Thanks 🙏
Is Alex Hodgeman legible for wallabies?...it wud be great if he is.

Not the best lineup in my opinion, mainly back line
Fair enough, which players would you selected instead ? Always keen to know 👍
