Wallabies squad for Samoa Test & Tri Nations named

[James]

I wonder if they'll get the likes of Cummins, Stannard and Brown in with the Australian 7s.

I might be disappointed with Wykes and Sheps missing out but at lease we dont have the selection headache that the AB's have

Robbie Fruean,Matt Todd,Tom Donnelly, Rene Ranger, Benson Stanley, Luke McAlister, Neemia Tialata, Alby Mathewson and Victor Vito all missed out

Donald missed out too but no-one can take him seriously anymore after his HongKong nightmare.

Elsom has a (C) next to his name

I think I have got it figured

Rocky has the (C) for Copyright - its all those dodgy boxing movies with Apollo Creed and Mr T.

So what team will play against Samoa? I think they will rest most of the QLD players. I also read that Benn Robinson is possibly injured, Pocock is carrying an injury and Gerrard has been training at fullback. That could mean Beale or Oconnor may start at 10. Then again they have Gits as well.

Maybe something like this?

1 Kepu
2 Moore
3 Alexander
4 Timani
5 Sharpe
6 Elsom
7 Hodgson
8 McCalman
9 Burgess/Phipps
10 Beale
11 Turner
12 OConnor
13 Ashley-Cooper
14 McCabe
15 Gerrard

16 Maafu
17 Polota-Nau (injured?) - Hanson
18 Mumm/Vickerman
19 Dennis
20 Phipps/Burgess
21 Gits
22 Morahan

I guess it could be anything, will be good to see some new combinations

We don't want to fluff around with new combinations for too long. Okay, rest the Reds and the injured, but we then have 4 games to get it right before the Cup.
