Burgess should be good, although I am sad to see that neither O'Young or Chuckie were mentioned :( their time will come !

i would be expecting stanners and drew to slot in there when they are fit.
not a bad team. a few unexpected selections like cordingley(i mean REALLY?)
and if fava can get over his injury in time i would be expecting to see him in Australia A as well.
PB, thats ODR, not sam cordingley.. He played two games for the Reds and one for sunnybank in the QRU competition and has signed for 2nd division French Club, how does he get picked for the national team is my argument. Plenty of other players better than him and would be at the bottom of the barrel for my thinkings, there is going to a load of pressure of barnes and giteau to supply the services to the backs
i can see gits covering 9 quite a bit seeing as he is SO much faster than cordingley
Cordingly???
haha the Saffa's just need to bring Jooste VD Westhuisen out of retirement to compete !!!
maybe they have chosen cordingley for the forwards to keep up with some of the backs..
Here is a link to last year's squad
2007 Tri Nations Squad
Hay i was just thinking the Force are going to Europe for there end of season Tour, are they going to have anyone to chose from.
(4+) injured
(5) in Australian squad
(4) in Australian A Squad
(4) in Australian U20s Squad
Lets see how the Western Force's depth is on the European Tour
Oh Please, get over the sour grapes!!! Phil Mooney hasn't even had a chance to coach him yet.
This season he missed about 4 games with his finger injury and about another 4 games through suspension. That means he only actually played about 5 games!!!!
From what I saw of those few games, he went very well and deserves selection.
Anyway back to topic - a pretty good squad - but I agree that Cordingly should not have been picked - he is always injured and he is leaving Australia at season's end. What's the point???
Is John Mitchell and David Nucefeiro (sory for the spelling) assistant coaches for Aussie Robbie and the wallabies.
