No timeline has been given on my date with Winona Ryder either, but I remain hopeful.

@antipodean I expect your time line matches mine...this side of never.

Awesome to see young gun Jordan Petaia back. He is the Folau type player the Wallabies need. Get rid of Tevita Kuridrani and Hodge - both are a bit average IMO. Bring in Petaia & Maddocks and the Wallabies start to look dangerous again. Where is Maddocks anyway?
Wallabies squad for Bledisloe I
Forwards: Allan Alaalatoa (Brumbies), Rory Arnold (Brumbies), Adam Coleman (Rebels), Folau Fainga'a (Brumbies), Michael Hooper (capt) (Waratahs), Luke Jones (Rebels), Sekope Kepu (Waratahs), Tolu Latu (Waratahs), Isi Naisarani (Rebels), David Pocock (Brumbies),Tatafu Polota-Nau (Leicester), Izack Rodda (Reds), Rob Simmons (Waratahs), Lukhan Salakaia-Loto (Reds), Scott Sio (Brumbies), James Slipper (Brumbies), Taniela Tupou (Reds), Jordan Uelese (Rebels), Rob Valetini (Brumbies), Liam Wright (Reds).
Backs: Adam Ashley-Cooper (Waratahs), Tom Banks (Brumbies), Kurtley Beale (Waratahs), Bernard Foley (Waratahs), Will Genia (Rebels), Dane Haylett-Petty (Rebels), Reece Hodge (Rebels), Samu Kerevi (Reds), Marika Koroibete (Rebels), Tevita Kuridrani (Brumbies), Christian Leali'ifano (Brumbies), James O'Connor (Reds), Jordan Petaia (Reds), Joe Powell (Brumbies), Matt Toomua (Rebels), Nic White (Exeter Chiefs).

@Canes4life it’s amazing Adam Ashley-Cooper is still in the side.

@Canes4life Maddocks has been dropped. His form went south the second half of the season.
@KiwiMurph Interesting, he was one of the Wallabies best last year.

I think his best position is fullback but the Wallabies have a few players that fit that same category (Beale, Banks, DHP).

That really is an unfortunate photo of Retallick
My Aussie mate who knows nothing about rugby , said to me while watching a game , who is that guy that looks like Frankenstein?

Presumably he meant Frankenstein's monster. A bit harsh on one of our greats too, but we don't love him for his looks I guess.

@MN5 I giggle like a child looking at that photo now. Some things you just can't unsee.

I see Japan now 9th and Argentina 11th in World Rankings.
Would Japan be a more attractive option then Argentina for the RC??
In any case, I'd be keen on NZ playing Japan rather than the likes of Italy on the end of year tours.

@Billy-Tell Well Japan have just beaten the USA, Tonga and Fiji so I wouldn't take those rankings too seriously.
