    The "Uncapped Wallabies"

    Here's one to get your teeth into, below is listed (as I know them to be) all the Uncapped current Australian Super 14 players.
    From these players put together your "Uncapped Wallaby XV" listing from 1-22.
    I have mine ready but will let everyone give it some thought before putting any misleading ideas in your heads!
    While the Force are currently the top Australian team, try not to be too biased as there are some handy young individuals around the four Provinces.
    The parameters are that this is a team to play immediately (all players are assumed fit) at full Test status as none of our capped players are eligible.
    Enjoy!

    Welcome aboard Bacon
    Not a bad start, I'm a fan of Horwill and Faingaa too
    Must be a few more closet selectors out there?

    Yeah, g'day bacon, nice to have you along, and straight into the thick of things...
    I am no selector, and i have struggled to make a list, but here goes...
    1/ Gareth Hardy
    2/ Saia Faingaa
    3/ Troy Takiari
    Honorable mention to Herman Hunt as well
    4/ Adam Wallace-Harrison
    5/ Will Caldwell
    6/ David Pocock
    7/ Julian Salvi
    8/ Rudi Vedalago
    9/ Chris O'Young
    10/ Kurtley Beale
    11/ Ryan Cross
    12/ James Hilgendorf
    13/ Junior Pelesasa
    14/ Digby Ioane
    Peter Hewat missed out only just, would be 2nd choice and kicks goals...
    15/ Sam Norton-Knight
    Another Honorable mention to Clinton Schifcofske

    As a bunch of relatively young fellas this could be our future team, with a few variations of course, but i reckon it won't be long till a fair few of these guys get a call up...

    A bit of a Force flavour, but probably not surprising given they picked up so many of the young guys stuck on the bench - whets the appetite for the Australia A selection this year.

    A bit eerie.

    I was tempted by Hardy at 1, but was worried about his size at the next level up. Pity he can't hook, 'cos he is great round the ground. I would've also liked to have had Ioane at 13 (I love the way he accelerates into impact), but 11 would have been left a little exposed and there are more options at 13.

    Like your bench, but probably would have take Two-dads as the utility back and Turner for the gas. Thought about both Cooper and Beale, but not yet - another couple of years perhaps.

    Those closer to Hardy have suggested he should look to being a Hooker I believe but no go apparently.
    Ioane is actually a borderline call for me, a balance between attack v turnovers/penalties. Caleb Brown and Lachlan Turner would be the other two I would look at there.
    Just haven't been sold on Two Dads like others seem to have, seems to be too many faults amongst the good stuff for me yet.
    What swung it for me was Schifcofske brings an extra kicker for the second half, versatilty and some much need experience to a pretty young team.
    Certainly wouldn't justify both Cooper and Beale however I think with a decent line outside him Cooper would weave some magic at this level.
    Look forward to any others prepared to whack up a team!

    Hmm, not entirely happy with mine, might make an adjustment or two in the backline.

    1. Gareth Hardy
    2. Tatafu Palota-Nau
    3. Troy Takiari
    4. James Horwill
    5. Adam Wallace-Harrison
    6. Julian Salvi
    7. David Pocock
    8. Jone Tawake
    9. Chris O'Young
    10. Berrick Barnes
    11. Digby Ioane
    12. Julian Huxley
    13. Junior Pelesasa
    14. Lachlan Turner
    15. Clinton Schifcofske




    Would have probably preferred Huxley at fullback but I really couldn't find a better 12 in that list.

    Any other takers?
    The 59 Man and his dog Squad may have provided some inspiration?
