Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
So stoked for Hamish and well deserved.
For those that followed the stats I posted after each Force match, it is great to see two of the Force's hardest workers are starting this week for the Wallabies.
Two of the top 10 tackles won in 2024 Super Rugby. Hamish 9th at 180 and Carlo 1st with 240.

Delighted for Stewart, is reward for a lot of hard work and self belief.
Likewise pleasing to see Williams straight back in the mix, despite the inclusion of extra talls in the Tour Squad.
Am a little surprised of McDermott over White given Donaldson and Stewart.
Either Lolesio has been given a Golden Ticket for the whole Series or this is make or break time, either way, really need to see a commanding performance from him.
By taking on the Captaincy, Wilson will also attract extra scrutiny with the extra responsibility. His SR best will be good enough, but there are options at 6/8 that if he falters under the pressure may see him out yet again. I imagine, unless he has a stinker, Jumbuck Joe will have "given" him two matches to prove himself. My first pick alternative would be 6. Williams and 8. Valetini.
Am still not convinced with Kellaway, think I would have given Flook or Jorgensen a run and 23. Kellaway.
Hopefully next week we might see a bit of Paega-Amosa in action.

Estudiantes?? That's a bloody interesting ground to play a rugby test at!

Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
What are your feelings on Jake Gordon getting the #9?
I think that bloke's made of teflon, he hasn't done a single thing of note, yet the other two seem to be dropped for the smallest indiscretion.
I suspect White is sitting on the naughty chair because of his 80 minute long argument with Paul Williams last week.
