Wallabies name squad for Lions Tour:
Backs: Israel Folau, Digby Ioane, Joe Tomane, Nick Cummins, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Rob Horne, Pat McCabe,Christian Leali’ifano, Berrick Barnes, James O’Connor, Will Genia.
Forwards: Wycliff Palu, Michael Hooper, Liam Gill, Scott Higginbotham, Ben Mowen, Rob Simmons, James Horwill, Sitaleki Timani, James Slipper, Ben Alexander, Benn Robinson, Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore, Saia Faingaa.
Wish someone would explain what more Jessie Mogg has to do to get in the team. So far this year his performance can be conservatively described as inspiring.
Good to see Nick Cummins getting some recognition. He might not be rocket scientist but he his work rate is high and this call up has been sometime coming.
