Big decision coming up on who is the backup Openside. Dalton Papali'i's chances of making the 32 must have gone up in the last 24 hours.
Interesting to see, as well, if certain experienced backs who have been disappointed in 2018 continue to get selected ahead of promising youngsters.

Has Rayasi a chance to be among the 18,5 players heading to Japan ? He's having an awsome M10 Cup.

Every player with two legs and a pair of footy boots are a chance

Is Abel Australia eligible?
He is. But if he got signed by NZ super team he’d be AB eligible too.

@act-crusader He looks like he'd be worth a spot in the Australian squad.
@tim this stint with the Orcs has done his confidence a world of good. Regular playing time has given him an opportunity to play with a little more freedom and it’s paid off for him and AKL.

Refs shmefs. Won’t matter. We’ll cane the Paddies by 20.

That’s going down in my little green book. In the section, For Possible Future Retrieval.

Papali'i and Parkinson both look to have a bit of mongrel and animal energy / spark about them which will be invaluable for the EOYT and SR heading into 2019 for RWC campaign.

Also, Wayne Barnes is controlling the Ireland test.
With those two referees, we're going to do really really well to win both. Garces is French, and just random. Wayne-O is generally good, but then has random brain farts. As long as the fart direction is towards Ireland and not us, we'll survive - otherwise it's all on for young and old.
Going to be an epic couple of weeks, I can't wait. We are blessed with magnificent rugby tests each year, I cannot wait.

Wayne Barnes brings Irish fans out in blisters. He’s reffed15 tests and they’ve won just 5 under him.
Just sayin....

Similar rate to the ABs with him then.
Funny how some refs control more ‘upsets’ than others. -

I think he was something like 4 losses from 7 before this years EP test. Now he’s 50/50
Would need to trawl back through game records as the usual stats place don’t search by ref
BTW I’m not suggesting anything untoward just perhaps a mindset that tries too hard not to rule on reputation and goes the opposite way -

I expect Aus will be looking very hard at him right now especially with only a year on his Brumbies contract.
How long is his Auckland contract?
