Related to my previous post. I'm only posting this because of that awesome sponsor name:

Fri, 06/05/2022, 5:00 pm AEST (double header, with Reds v Highlanders following this test match)
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
Wallaroos v Fijiana

Tue, 10/05/2022, 5:00 pm AEST
Bond University, Gold Coast
Wallaroos v Japan

So the players that were drafted into Matatu didn't make the squad. Perhaps telling, perhaps payback?

@Crucial I think you have to read that list again! Michaela Leonard and Arabella McKenzie are in the squad!

Nadolo to join Waratahs as season in doubt for Johnson-Holmes

The powerhouse winger is set to add international class and try-scoring prowess to the NSW back line next season.

Larkham will be head coach of the Brumbies next year. Is this a major step backwards, or has he improved a lot at Munster? Brumbies played extremely negative rugby under him.

@Tim where is kellar off to?

@Kiwiwomble Full time with the Wallabies.

Is that really him in the photo? It looks like a grizzled old prop rather than a winger to my eyes.

not lost to aussie rugby at least, he's done a good job

It is a bit of a paradox though, these good coaches move up to the international scene, so lesser or at least less experienced coaches take over...but then you risk the players not being as good when the come through and then you dont have enough time to actually "fix" them

Not my video, but something everybody has said for a long time; dispersal of talent.

Japan stun Wallaroos for historic Test win

An off night with the boot from Lori Cramer and some impatient play has cost the Wallaroos in a reality-check 12-10 Test loss to Japan.

[NTA]

@Bovidae some really poor decision making at 9-10 by the Aussies.

I should also add the Japanese defence was amazing. Like the men's team, they used their speed and precision well.

@NTA

It has been a successful Australia tour for the Japanese Sakura team! They beat Fijiana 28 - 14, Australian Barbarians 24 - 10 and now Australia 12 - 10.

@antipodean definitely agree with the idea of picking combo's, it just has to cut down on learning curves when they have limited time in AB camp
