No mention in that article about Ah Kuoi.
They have mentioned before that they have tried to keep keep to a policy that if you aren’t fully training on Tuesday then you aren’t in consideration so maybe he didn’t make that threshold.Unavailable for selection:
Angus Ta’avao (hip), Kaylum Boshier (shoulder), Laghlan McWhannell (knee), Mitchell Brown (ankle), Mitchell Karpik (knee), Naitoa Ah Kuoi (neck), Sam Cane (shoulder/pectoral), Samipeni Finau (shoulder), Sean Wainui (hamstring), Simon Parker (foot), Quinn Tupaea (knee).

@stargazer I think there was mention earlier in the week that he may be good to go
-
@tim nah. Rookies in at 2, 5, 7, 9. Pretty green bench, too. Stowers isnt really a rookie but he's far from first choice.
That said most of those rookies look like they have big careers ahead of them.

Tiatia must have some incriminating photos of McMillan.
The games Tiatia has played this year have shown he is much better as an impact sub off the bench.So Moli as a TH but with Ta'avao out that was the only option. Angus was due a rest anyway.
I hope the coaches have been emphasising discipline this week as the Brumbies will be much more clinical than the Force when they kick into the corners for a lineout.

Quite happy with that team. Want to see Sullivan given a chance on the wing. Our wingers are more efficient than threatening. I am hoping he can add a bit of explosiveness and sustained speed that has been lacking this year.

Me too. McMillan says they are still looking for the right back three combo so why not give Stevenson a start in his favoured position?
Does Trask play 1st 5 or fullback when he comes on? Could be either.

Tiatia really doesnt look like a professional rugby player, particularly a back does he!

Australia about to get their first win of SRTT I’d say.
Why so pessemistic?
