Probably only an improvement from zero to highly remote. The Argentinian players were reported to have been told that they have to be playing regularly in Europe in order to make the RWC squad; so Medrano would be likely to try and get loaned to another European side. Of course, he could try and get an exemption, as the Pumas captain, Matera, is at the Crusaders.

Oliver Cummins has been selected for the Rugby WA Under 19, 32 man squad.
I assume he will be part of the wider training group.
From the video appears to be a decent size full back.
With school videos hard to judge ability as opposition unknown.
Appears to have a bit of a league background which often helps with tackiling abilities

Another piece in place. Geez! we've got some top tier coaching staff!

Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Curtis Rona linked with the Gold Coast Titans
https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...s9RfEGfngXgrDEFormer Wallaby Curtis Rona is reportedly set to return to rugby league after a five-year stint in rugby union.
The 30-year-old was expected to sign with the Western Force before the deal fell through. According to Wide World of Sports he bizarrely then went AWOL from his current side the London Irish with friends and family unable to reach him.
MIA? Foxsport drawing a long bow, London Irish had a bye this week, last played 1 October and only scheduled to play again 14 October.
Curtis is locked in at London Irish and Gold Coast only suggest an interest.

The "Channel nine" version from their contributor "The Mole", not sure of his credentials

Anyway, let's hope we can get Curtis back in WA; I still think he could benefit not only us, but the Wallabies also. And then after that, maybe enough time to be a foundation player for the new mungo team in Perth.

Curtis Rona quits London Irish after going AWOL for a week
Australia international Curtis Rona has left London Irish with immediate effect after previously going missing in action for a week.
Rona, 30, informed his team-mates at the club's Hazelwood training ground on Monday of his departure.
The former Wallaby has been linked with a return to playing rugby league in the NRL in Australia having previously played for North Queensland Cowboys before switching to Canterbury Bulldog, but is now set to take up a contract playing in Japan. Rona won three Test caps for Australia in 2017 under then head coach Michael Cheika.
Rona joined London Irish in 2019 and has been a key performer for the club over recent years, forming a strong centre partnership with Benhard Janse van Rensburg.
The centre featured in London Irish's first three matches of the 2022-23 season against Worcester, Bristol and Northampton, but was not part of Irish's matchday squad in the win over Bath before the club went on their bye last week.
Rona leaves the club having scored 16 tries in 70 appearances, with England international Will Joseph and Italy international Luca Morisi now the club's main options at outside centre.
“Thank you to the supporters and everyone at London Irish for making me feel so welcome at the Club from the first day that I arrived,” said Rona.
“I want to thank the players, staff and coaches for everything that they have done for me, and I wish London Irish nothing but the best for the future.”
Director of Rugby Declan Kidney added: “We are disappointed to see Curtis go. We wish him and his family well on their next adventure and thank him for his efforts in the London Irish.
