Does no Jamie Roberts or Scott Williams mean that Warrenball really has been retired?
Meanwhile reports are that Gatland wanted ex Wales U20 player Luke Hamilton but Hamilton has been named by Scotland instead. Some slight loophole that is now closed applies to Hamilton and he is free to move.
Anscombe presumably still injured?Who is Alex Cuthbert sleeping with?

Are they seriously asking for $25 to watch the Barbarian game? I was happy to pay the $7 odd bucks last year for the Ireland game but no way I'm paying that much for a stream. If you want people to stop pirating and illegally downloading you need to make it easily accessible at a good price.
So Folau is resting the body but will play a meaningless Barbarians game??? Must be some good coin in those games.

You can watch the Aus vs. Baabaas game on Channel 10's site, if you have an Aussie IP address.
I hear that Mullvad is a decent VPN service.
-
The Aussie TV director has just orchestrated a yellow card with constant replays of a high tackle in a BaaBaas match - with the yellow card of a former Wallaby in Quade Cooper.
And the Wallabies get a try to take the lead from the penalty.
Baa Baas currently playing league.

Australia may be without two of their rising stars on the Spring Tour, though, with Jack Dempsey (leg) and Lukhan Tui both in doubt after injuries. Tui was off in the 35th minute with a hamstring concern, while Dempsey had his leg twisted in a tackle in the 74th minute, unable to stand up on the sideline, forced to wait until the game finished to go into the rooms.

Pulu had a good game.
Aside from his passing. So many go to the 1st receiver high.
