Interesting exercise, this.
Names ran a lot deeper than I expected in certain positions..
Les Kiss mentioned on a podcast recently, that the goal of Australian rugby is to grow the Wallabies four-deep in each position
So how far away is that? And how deep are they now?

What was Marnus doing leaving that?!?
I was expecting from the footwork it was going to hit the front knee roll, but then he left it!!
At least he'll have some time over the summer to work on things now...
Think back to Bledisloe 2 - did the Declan Meredith no-try decision make sense?
What about Jeremy Williams' yellow card?
@rob_mckay is back with another edition of Ask the Ref to clarify things...
(spoiler: both were right)

Brilliant episode! Absolute must to watch this one on YouTube not just listen to it. Classic moment when @BMcSport drops the breaking news & @JWDrennan had no warning! JD’s face when KB & Ramm announced was a picture. Definitely not on the bingo card for KB in the squad!
Brand new @89_Rugby ep is live, with @JWDrennan returning from his post-Bledisloe recovery to refresh our memories on how the Nations Championship will work in November..
Some massive games coming over the next month!

Breaking news doesn't often interrupt recording, but the surprise Wallabies squad news dropping in our Nations Championship refresher did just that.
Great to have @JWDrennan join @bmcsport this week
YouTube, pods + have your say at 8/9 Rugby on Substack: buff.ly/31m74zw
James Slipper in this interview/profile spoke specifically of the conversations he and other elder statesman players have had with Les Kiss.
He also mentioned Kurtley Beale.
Which took on specific new meaning with today's Wallabies squad update...
My latest Australian column for @RugbyPass has dropped early again -
James Slipper was so open and honest about his coaching work experience in our @89_Rugby chat last week that it deserved a much bigger airing...
