Who hasn't put a mask on upside down/inside out? Hell, I have even tried drinking a coffee with a mask on. I wouldn't recommend that.

I knew Oz has extra precautions we haven't had over here, but putting a mask on a coffee is nek level.

Still a very strong squad that will test us.

@yeetyaah Considering the time difference, don't be surprised if it's Friday.

Friday is the new Thursday.

We will likely get to know who won't be involved in this test before the match 23 is announced, as a small group will be flying to Europe earlier than the main squad.

@bovidae Good thinking!

And I'm sure George sets up his mask perfectly at training, he's not likely to go it alone, either...

Quinn measuring Sevu's head.

is only the front row seated? Some of the comparative heights are interesting, I'd have thought Reece should be considerably taller than Richie, and Dalton clearly taller than Braydon..
