    That's a very english name! I wonder if Stephen Jones can count up the number of non-English born players in the squad?

    Wow McConnochie made the final cut. He’s a good sized unit for a winger and not a bad 7s player. He’s been good for Bath, but I’m surprised to see him in a WC squad.

    there is a great team in that squad.

    If that cunning little bastard Eddie turns up with everyone pointed in the same direction, they are a massive massive shout.

    He's picked only 2 halfbacks, which could be risky if an injury strikes.

    Eddie’s been pretty clear about only taking 2. Not sure what’s driving it but it is a risk. No doubt someone like Ben Spencer will be conveniently holidaying in Tokyo during September....

    After seeing the Bled 2 team I've been thinking that our problem is that the RWC squad isn't big enough, so you have to have utility value to get in there. Yes, been discussed before, but it is pretty shit for some good players.

    If it was a 15 man game (and not 23) then 31 would be enough, but it isn't anymore and we are juggling. Looking for loose heads that can play tight, and vice versa, full backs for wings, open sides for blinds, 12s for 13s, etc.

    It's bloody stupid, we should be able to have 2 players for each position (and an extra for the bench, so 30 + 8 bench spots) in case of injury. Yes, I know that it increases cost and smaller nations would suffer, but it is a world cup, the minnows aren't going to win, however many they can afford.

    I suppose that you could argue that is part of the challenge, but personally I would rather see the best players playing in their best position for all countries.

    @Hooroo well given the bench is already 8 players, having an extra would mean more again...since when has TSF been about reading/quoting/referring to the whole sentence/paragraph, we are all pedantic picky frackers, all day, all the time!

    *Uncapped at a Rugby World Cup

    .

    Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has confirmed his 31-man squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, in front of a packed house at the Qantas Hangar in Sydney this morning.
    
    The squad, captained by Michael Hooper with Samu Kerevi as his deputy, boasts 1406 caps of Test experience, 200 more than the squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
    
    Japan will be Hooper’s second appearance at Rugby’s showpiece while 18 players are set for their Rugby World Cup debut.
    
    At the other end of the spectrum, Adam Ashley-Cooper will play in his fourth Rugby World Cup becoming just the second Wallaby to ever do so after George Gregan. Ashley-Cooper has played in 17 Rugby World Cup matches, just five games behind all-time leaders Jason Leonard and Richie McCaw.
    
    Only one uncapped player is in the squad with boom rookie Jordan Petaia included in the 31-man group. The 19-year old missed most of the 2019 Vodafone Super Rugby season following a Lisfranc injury but has since recovered to full fitness.

    Nick Phipps has been a bit shit for, well, ever really. But it's still a big move to dump him completely when he has been there forever. A good move, but big none the less

    @Chris-B Pete Samu has played well this SR season, but pulled his hammy in the Quarter Final. I understand he has recovered from that injury, but they take Dempsey, who is currently injured. I don't quite get that selection.

    I would have gone with both Jack Maddocks and Tom Banks over Haylett Petty and Ashley Cooper - those too just seem a bit long in the tooth these days. Would also like to see Petaia start at centre and O'Connor move to the right.

    AAC probably just there because he has RWC experience. Haylett-Petty has been meh so I agree on his spot being weird.

    @booboo Yep. Not sure how many loosehead props I would call "pilar izquirdo" to their face - just too close to "pillar is weirdo / queerdo". Which is also often true.

    They didn't want to label Creevy a "Puta" which is fair enough. Quite derogatory and I like him. Great player.
    "Ala" would probably work for wing.
    I've got nothing for full back...Spanish isn't my fuerte but I do know that a piston wristed gibbon is a Pajero (or medio scum in a lot of cases).

    My wife loves laughing at all the Pajero’s driving their Nissan Pajeros

    Nick Phipps has been a bit shit for, well, ever really.

    But it was always reassuring when Phipps took the field against the ABs. It meant the game was already lost for the Wallabies, or was about to be.

    It’s a good Aussie squad. 18 that are going to a RWC for the first time but most of those have a few caps under their belt.
