Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
not going to get too carried away with this list. Afterall there are no Brumbies in that squad and there are sure to be at least 7-10 of them in the mix. Still good to see reward for a good season for some of these guys. Meakes in particular has demanded a spot with his great work this year.
They all deserve to be in the international team setup. Especially glad for Ainsley, Rona and Meakes congrats to them.
Non sunt multiplicanda entia sine necessitate

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Great reward for our boys, especially happy for Pek. He has had a great season and gone largely unnoticed.
Ruru very unlucky and Lance as well.
Awesome reward for our boys who have been unbelievable this year in transforming the Force into a club on the rise.
Judging by some of those names i think we should rename the Wallabies Top Ups Payment System to Wallabies Tackle Bag Holders Payment System. Douglas, Simmons, Faangase, Korczyk, Magnay, Hanigan, Dempsey and Nabuli should not be there. Cheikas doomed to repeat history as he is definitely not learning from it.
Go get em Pek
happy with all the force boys invited, but excited for Pek
Has Ruru agreed to have 'The Op' so he can play for Australia?
