Wallaby coach to reduce squad

[force addict]

no because he'll be one of the 22 squad

Poor bastards, everyone else will be playing some sort of rep game - Wallabies, Australia A, U20s - and they get club rugby..woo hoo.

I'd say the move is about keeping guys fit for when they are called up. Robbie was in New Zealand for the 'Conditioning Programme' He was a S14 coach at the time, he saw what happened to his boys...I'd suspect he wants them to have a bit of a run into contact and keep the Aerobic up. As for playing in Aus A, well, the Samoa trip might be a bit much as already stated, but I'd suggest he's pretty happy to let the A Boys develop their own game and look at how they fare. I wouldn't expect too many changes early. Once the U20s come back and some of the bright lights start pushing from selection out of that programme, Robbie will probably look to ring some changes then!
