one western force?
and how did kurtley beale manage to make the time with no appearance from J O'C, Cam Shep or Drew Mitchell?? and Berrick Barnes at 10 scares me just a little

[no.8]

No Phil Waugh at all No.8?

No. Even after yesterday I still think Bam Bam and Smitty are better than him.
However, being named Captain of the under 20's almost puts a nail in his Wallaby coffin!

FA there are 2 Western Force in K95 team - Gitts and Sharpie!

Welcome K95 but your team won't come up to the mark on this forum.

[Burgs]

Under 20's doesn't go all International season 8
He has plenty of time after the tournament and will thrive on the leadership challenge I'm sure.
Hopefully do a bit of recruiting for Mitch while he is at it too!

its a no brainer that Gits is chosen. Where's Brownie? I know he has to compete with Smith and Waugh, he still has a god chance. Same as O'Young or Chuckie for #9

[slomo]

is it announced tommorow?....

[pieter blackie]

the official announcement is on the 4th of June as far as I know

[travelling_gerry]

New Qantas Wallabies Head Coach Robbie Deans will announce his first Wallabies 30-man squad this Monday June 2nd at 2pm in Sydney and rugby.com.au will be there to give you all the latest.



rugby.com.au will be on the spot bringing you the squad, the press conference and interviews with Robbie and the Wallabies as it happens.



Who will be in ? Who will miss out ? - as the Wallabies begin preparations for their first Test of the year against Ireland in Melbourne on June 14th as part of the 2008 Bundaberg Rum Rugby Series.



So for all the video, audio, interviews, player profiles and hot news direct from the Wallabies camp there’s only one place to be next Monday from 2pm – rugby.com.au – the home of the Men of Gold.

Pretty good squad there Jazza. I'd switch Giteau and Barnes though, can't really see the point of playing them both out of the positions they played all year.

As for your bench, I'd rather see Brown or Waugh in place of Hoiles. Also, I wouldn't pick Norton-Knight. You've got Giteau and Barnes and if desperate Tuqiri can play 10. And you've got Mitchell, Shepherd, Gerrard for fullback. So not really much place for two dads. I'd rather see a centre in there to replace Mortlock when he gets injured again. I agree with picking Phibbs but not sure if Deans will. I think with Giteau able to cover Burgess they might not waste a bench spot on him. But with Burgess having no experience I'd like to see Phibbs on the bench so he can get some game time in case Burgess doesn't do so well.

[shasta]

You've got Giteau and Barnes and if desperate Tuqiri can play 10.

I've bucked the trend here at TWF and given Lote credit for a great season. But there are definitely limits and that suggestion crosses the line. What were you thinking?

I figure he spends so much time in the middle of the field why not play him there? At least some poor prop won't have to cover for him out on the wing when he's out of position again.
