Henry Speight, 11 Tests, ACT BrumbiesDean Mumm, Scott Fardy, Rob Simmons, Kane Douglas, Rob Horne and Will Skelton have all been omitted from Cheika’s first 2017 squad. Eight potential debutants have been named in the June squad, with Ned Hanigan, Marika Koroibete, Richard Hardwick, Joe Powell, Jack Dempsey, Eto Nabuli, Lukhan Tui and Karmichael Hunt in the mix. (...) While many of the most high-profile omissions are heading overseas or retiring, Cheika said the future had no impact on that. -
That's a bloody young squad. The second row has 31 caps, and Carter makes nearly half of those.
The back row has three rookies. Capable young men but jeez...
There are a lot of * marking potential debutants in this squad. Fiji, Scotland, and Italy will have raised eyebrows...

@pukunui There are more players of Island/Maori origin than of European descent in the Wallaby squad. First time ever I reckon and it shows how much the landscape has changed in Australian rugby. Should make the wallabies a lot more physical though.

Yeah, 18 players.
Good luck spotting the 18th 😉

@ARHS said in June Internationals:
On top of the 18 Islanders/Maoris (Adam Coleman being the 18th?)
He has some notable cousins - Inoke Afeaki, Ben Afeaki & Rodney Blake
His Dad is a former Tongan international.
He actually makes 19 Maori/Polynesian players.Dayum

@ARHS said in June Internationals:
@Frye Ok - I missed Rory Arnold - and also the Arabian hooker, Moore. Humm - that makes 24 out of 34
Good to know. Next time @NTA blames Kiwis for ruining club rugby in Australia, I'll remind him that it is them (and their kids) who are helping to keep rugby alive over there.
