2019 Rugby Championship

It will be interesting to see who comes in the AB squad announced tonight to replace Crotty and S Barrett.
My first thought is they might lean on bringing in a 13 rather than a 12 to replace Crotty as they already have plenty of cover for 12 (ALB, Laumape, SBW, Goodhue can play 12) whereas not as much at 13.
The names that come to mind for 13 would be Ennor or Proctor.
For Barrett I'd assume they'd replace him with a lock (rather than a 6) so someone like IWL, Franklin or Parkinson?

I can't see why. They have 5 midfielders they like for 4 spots. One went down, meaning the other 4 get the gig.

Because chances are that SBW will get injured too?
Actually, you make a reasonable point though, those four cover 12/13 pretty well. They might use the opportunity to look at others.
Nonu has been forgotten too..

so what you are saying is, we are facing the very real possibility of both Crotty and SBW being broken? At the same time? No! how could this have come to pass?

Who’d have thought! Just terrible bad luck, is all it is. Couldn’t be foreseen.

Fair enough. I guess where i'm coming from is with Crotty injured they now will only have 2 x 13s in a 41 man squad. I figure they might want to bolster that spot.

@mariner4life Well if Goodhue is one of the candidates to be rested for the first test that leaves one 13....

have to think Ngani-ALB start or SBW-ALB.

Have we lost to Argentina before?
I suppose there is a very real chance if we send a mickey mouse team over there.
Kind of like a 'friendly'.............

they aren't taking it seriously anyway, they are focused on a world cup they won't win (or maybe even get out of the Group).

@NTA @barbarian @antipodean great news Wallaby fans, your season is saved!! James O'Connor. Yes, that's right the James O'Connor has put pen to paper and is eligible for the Wallabies again this year. Your worries are a thing of the past.
-
@taniwharugby Geez that will be interesting though I think most players have been mentioned in discussions in the 41.
So I wonder how big any surprises will be.@Chris if we were including Crusaders I'd say surprise level low (Ennor, Reece) but as we are not, I'm not sure who else would warrant 'surprise'; except the 51st Player.
