Wallabies 31 man Tour squad

To me Leroy Houston ain't quite ready yet, I see him play for Eastwood and he doesn't really assert himself into the game enough, but I think he can be a Joe Van Niekirk type loose forward for the wallabies in the future. I think Polata-Nau will eventually be the 1st choice hooker for the Tahs by the end of next years super 14.

Also watch out for Dogby Ioane if he gets a run, very dynamic player.

Waratahs only have Frier who isn't the greatest. So I can see Polata-Nau being starting hooker pretty soon. Could even be 1st choice hooker at the start of the year if he comes out as the number 1 hooker for the Wallabies.

Yeah Mitchell at 13 is different but he has played there for Queensland ata pinch and done well....There arent really any standout 13's on tour but it looks as though Jones will stick with Lote in the 13...AS for Chisolm at 6, i really think Daniel Heenan will be Australia's blind side come World Cup time

anyone mention huia edmonds at hooker? that guy can do anything on the field, just likes to get a little too involved in the play.

Heenan could do but if he doesn't we need to make sure we have a back up. Chisolm to me fits that bill. Its just too bad the Brumbies don't have enough depth in the locks.

Heenans always injured, I think our backrow will be 6.Houston 7.Waugh and 8.Smith and Houston is the 3rd lineout option for the world cup.
Polota-Nau is an animal but he'll ride the bench for his first season at the Tahs' IMO, they've put too much effort into developing Frier for him to just be shafted after a game or two.
