Who out of the "FORCE" would make the training squad for the RC? This includes coaches?:)
My opinion- the usual suspects from the last squad plus Meakes and RHP. A fair few Tahs need to be dumped from the squad- Hannigan and Robertson to start with.
Is RuRu eligible for the Wallabies?
Yes.
I asked mick Ruru last night if he was going to see gold this year and he deflected massively, but he has completely outplayed anybody else in aussie rugby. His only credible challenge actually comes from Ryan louwrens.
Most of the Force team in for the Tah's would be an improvement!
Tahs would be good to run the water, since they don't need to move fast for that.
Wallabies are going to need a massive squad for RC and spring tour.

in the week after the bledisloe in October which would be an off week to allow for rest before a Spring tour are now 2 games v baabaas...
The scheduling of the baabaa games reeks of more desperation from the ARU to inject funds into the coffers at the risk to the remaining players who haven't already left for Euros or Yen overseas.
Why would Ruru want to make himself available for the Wallabies when he has the possibility of being noticed by the All Blacks?
Aaron Smuth, TJ Perenara, Tawera Kerr-Barlow.......?
As should always be the case will cheika select on form? Or maybe solid combinations? If this happens then maybe one or two Tards and the same amount or reds should be selected for the RC. If the team is loaded with Tards and reds then MC should reconsidered his position.
As an impartial, I would include these players in a Wallaby squad (not knowing how big it will be).
DHP
Rona
Meakes
Lance
Ruru (Louwrens out for season right?)
Hardwick
RHP
Coleman
TPN
Ainstey
I think Philip should get a look in also - he's been outstanding this year and provides far more impact that Carter, plus has already formed a good combination with Coleman. Otherwise pretty much agree with that list Reg
Anyone know when squad announced?
