Wales v Australia

I just hope that Hooper is ok. After hiw problems earlier in year, I wouldn't be suprised if he said that's it.
I hope not although I not a Wallaby supporter or anything I think Hooper a bloody good player, and would like him to go out on own terms.@Dan54 said in Wales v Australia:

If we weren't outside the window we could pick a few clubbies from Premier like we did with Ollie Hoskins last year.

Off season is going to be a long rest for some of these guys. And we won't see any improvement in the Super Rugby squads as a result.

@MiketheSnow According to Planet Rugby there are only 25 fit players left in the tour party including only 10 backs.

Rolf Harris at hooker would be sweet
Can push in scrums with two legs AND still hook the ball

@MiketheSnow I hope Anscombe stays fit as Priestland on the bench would worry me.

No disrespect to Australia - it's great that they're able to field a competitive squad - but if we don't put them to the sword and win convincingly by scoring tries, then Pivac and Jones have to go
This is a MUST WIN match
Heart says Wales by 11-16
Head says it could go either way
