80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Gosh that has to be a record!
Great for Robbo and I think a good choice, but bloody tough on Nonggor, who's actually been quite decent so far. AAA should really be the one being dropped - he's way out of form and seems a liability at scrum time at the moment.
Was hoping for BPA a couple of weeks ago. Should be a great addition
Think about this SEVEN years ago on the 20 August 2017 Twiggy addressed us all at the rally at Western Force headquarters and exactly SEVEN years later, SEVEN Western Force players on the annversary date are selected for the Wallaby touring squad.

Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
There's a lot to like about your selections Burgs, but, for me, Donno would represent a last chance saloon. He's not really impressed me in the games he's played at international level this year and I can't figure out why.
In Super Rugby he proved to have a lot more upside than Lolly, however he's had a couple of insipid performances (especially the Georgia game, which was his chance to cement the spot IMHO)
Lolesio hasn't done enough to lock the role down, so the door's still open, however he has looked slightly better so far (not by a long way mind you, the kicking in SA game 1 being an example)
I also think Joe sees Williams as a lock not a 6, but I reckon you've got him in the right number. We probably won't see it, but it'd be where he shines.
I think it's a big call leaving Ikitau out of the first test of a 2 test tour in Argieland, I'd make that call in game 2 if game 1 has gone well.
Mish to 12 is the smart call, but not necessarily the only call, Feluai is more like-for-like with Paisami and might get the not. Personally, I'd likely go Stewart Ikitau (ball will flow better to probably the bset outside back in Oz) or Feluai, Flook (josh will be protected by the fact that he won't get a lot of footy and his desire to chase pill and organise defense will help)
But, these adjustments are minor and I'd agree this is likely the only part of TRC where we can play with combinations a bit and see what the fringe players offer against tier 1 opposition.
