Well, that's got some names missing. One flyhalf.... who can cover that?

Donaldson is a 10.

Uncapped 18yr old winger as well,

Very odd

Lol I thought that's a really small squad even for EJ; no forwards?! before going back a page.

Hooper and Cooper out - wild

I don't follow Australian rugby super closely but the general consensus I've seen so far amongst Aus fans is that Hooper out is actually a fair call (even if it is a massive shame). Apparently hasn't been quite right ever since he took time out for his mental health and is a shadow of his former self.

I get that Lolesio isn't considered the key to Brumbie success and that the last two Wallabie coaches clearly do not rate him, but I would have been taking him personally. The only Aussie fly half to pick up regular wins against Kiwis has to count for something.

I heard jones said skelton is going to cover ten.

This ^^

basically his injury just isn't right and not likely to be right for the RWC so i kind of respect that

cooper is a surprise, i would have thought you would at least take him to rip holes in georgia and portugal and then he's your wildcard for the bigger games, kind of player that can turn a game around or spark a try from your own half

Reckon Ben Donaldson will back up if CG gets injured?

Glad to see Quade Cooper out of the squad

Money on Cooper being a late call up. Something will happen and and a new fly half is needed

The way Eddie jones is picking squads you'd think he would prefer Noah Lolesio instead of Quade Cooper or at least Bernard foley
