2010 Wallabies Squad Announced

[GIGS20]

An interesting comparison to the 2007 World Cup Squad:

23 Missing:
Not Playing/Not in Australia
Sam Cordingley,
Mark Gerrard,
George Gregan (vc),
Sean Hardman,
Stephen Larkham,
Chris Latham,
David Lyons,
George Smith,
Lote Tuqiri,
Dan Vickerman,

On the Injury List
Hugh McMeniman,
Stirling Mortlock (c), (Could easily be added to the not much of a surprise list)
Stephen Moore, (This is correct isn't it)
Wycliff Palu,

Not much of a surprise
Alistair Baxter,
Matt Dunning,
Adam Freier,
Greg Holmes,
Julian Huxley, (OK Maybe this is a slightly tough call, but you'd expect the ARU to treat him like a rookie given the circumstances)
Guy Shepherdson,

Getting On a bit
Scott Staniforth,
Phil Waugh (vc)

The only really surprising one
Adam Ashley-Cooper,

So in short, there's not many surprises there.

My bad - bloody fat fingers on the cut and paste

i was going to say, i surely remembered AAC playing in some of the matches, there was a lot of hype about him at the time, i think that was the year he scored a awsome try against the All Blacks at the MCG, where he powered through a couple of defenders including McCaw.

Looks like a great blend of youth and experience. I always thought that the RWC was going to be a year too early for Australia. What I have seen this year has changed my opinion. I think October 2011 will see a hugely talented, well rounded, exciting team. I think Deans has made some really good calls and now has a good amount of time to mould a superb team.
Rightly it has beeen said about the WA loose trio. Currently the ABs cannot put a trio on the paddock that would come within a bull's roar.


P.S. Develope young Aussie props. Fairbrother needs to 'live' in Oz for a few years to be an 'Aussie'.
