Do you know when Elwee and his side-kick are making the final cut Emu?

This may be a bit out of date but I heard Nestor and Prinslo described as the Bully Brothers the other day.
How fitting

Thanks for the update Emu. Can you post the other players in the squad?

Does anyone know the squad because they fly out on Friday. Can't find anything anywhere .Why the secret squirrel stuff

[James]

Would it not be the initial squad mentioned in the link above? If you are going to play at least 3 games in 5 or 6 days, surely you'd need a squad of about 30.

I wouldn't imagine we'd have anymore than a 23 man touring squad. There's no way it'll be a squad of 30 ...... Aust. U20s will only take 28 to the IRB Jnr World Cup.

Lots of $ $ $ $ $ $ WA or Aust. rugby just doesn't have.

WA are playing 3 games here in Adelaide over 5 days and won't need a squad of 30.

Sat 5pm v NSW Country
