"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Great to see Hardwick in, anther Perth local in the wallaby squad
Too many outside backs, Meaks or Lance should have been picked instead of one of those outside backs
Dane Haylett-Petty
Richard Hardwick
Adam Coleman
Tatafu Polota-Nau
Great to see the boys in the mix but sort of disappointing to see only 4 Force players even though we destroyed the reds and are leaps and bounds ahead of the Rebels when it comes to player form and attitude
Would definitely have picked Matt Phillips over Sam Carter, he has done nothing yet so far this season considdering he has played double the amount of minutes

Love the Forces email in calling out the local WA products in Dane, Richard and Kyle. Just an outstanding result for our state.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
I took 101 years for WA to produce it's first Wallaby. Now, with the establishment of the Force and the development pathways that have been implemented since, these three could be the first of many. Can the Force and it could be more than 101 years before any more surface.
I posted this on a FB site as everyone on this site sees Hooper as the next Wallaby Captain.. and I am waiting for replies..
Ok you all point out Hooper is the Poss next Wallaby Captain.. We need a leader , A person who the players respect. A person who has respect in the game.. Hooper gives one of the worst post match speeches. He is not an on field leader. If he was and could guide a team on the field with all the talent the Warratahs have they should be a better team than they are.. He has been given enuff time to show what he can do and the results are just not there .. Time to bring in a leader who players would respect.. Someone like Coleman or even Sam Carter.....
Is Naisarani eligible for the Wallabies? And Ruru?
And no Tetera Faulkner, no Billy Meakes, ....
Louwrens unlucky with injury, but he must be in the frame. And Peni too. And even Verty-Amm - at least he was brought up in rugby, and knows the rules, unlike Koroibete.
Jermaine Ainsley was specifically mentioned by Cheika. Can't remember if he said that he would be around the squad for development and/or scrum opposition training.
I don't rate Tom Robertson at the moment he just doesn't dominate at this stage.
