    Queensland Reds v Wales Tour Match

    The Queensland Reds are to host Wales on Friday night (5:30 WST on Stan).
    Given the Wallabies are to play Georgia the next day in Sydney (therefore a Squad should already be fixed) I am hoping that all the Reds players are released to play and make a decent showing.
    It is win-win or Australia as both matches are of Test intensity, and arguably the Reds match will offer greater benefit of players playing in a season familiar Squad.
    I note that Reg Roberts was discussing similar in the last couple of days on X.
    His respective XV's are-

    22 Stewart H
    23 Lancaster D

    Given the Gibbon and Lancaster development since his announcement he hasn't made that consideration.
    As much as I hate dabbling with Test caps, under these circumstances I would be "all-in" with all available Reds being released for the Wales fixture.

    * Have left Faessler as only three Hookers in Wallabies Squad and would be pushing the concept too far to bring in a new player.

    Lukhan at number 8 is a bit left field when you have Cale, Gleeson, Valentini etc so can’t see that happening but I agree it would be interesting

    I really hope we see Stewart get a crack at 12, Schmidt has seen Paisami for 2 tests now and hasn’t shown a lot
