The big (in more ways than one) winner out of the Wallabies' 40 player squad for January's camp is Massimo de Luttis

de Luttis still yet to play Super Rugby but has a Australia XV cap and big wraps on him

- Schmidt managing Max Jorgensen and backs the defensive-minded Potter against DVDM/Graham
- Similar story for McReight/Frost after big minutes
- Gordon (head)/Wilson (concussion) back
- Tupou fit now but hesitance over his fitness on Monday ruled him out

Samu Kerevi suspended for Scotland Test after red card

Kerevi was always slated to return to Japan after that game and will serve the remaining ban during Urayasu D-Rocks' trial games

Interesting to note just two Scottish players aged 25 and under are in double dight caps (Ewan Ashman and Rory Darge) compared to nine Wallabies that include key players like Bell, Lolesio, Frost, McReight and Wilson over 20 caps

What a week for the Wallabies 🤩

Thoughts on the Wallabies win v Wales
- A confident Tom Wright is a top 5 fullback in the world
- Will Skelton turns any maul into a machine
- Calmness shown after Kerevi red card was awesome and has been missed by past sides
- 20 minute red cards need to stay

Thoughts from Oz XV v England A

Reimer, Hooper impressive and looked up to Test quality

Outside backs got targeted a little, Campbell burnt for an unnecessary long ball intercepted for a try, Toole limited for space

De Lutiis strong in first start against a quality loosehead in AOF

- Skelton and Kerevi return and start
- Schmidt managing Suaalii after debut
- Uru into flanker for debut start
- Alaalatoa captain with no Tupou (Knee)
- White replaces Gordon after head knock

Like the changes, although would've liked Tate McDermott to start

What I find fascinating about this is whilst in Oz we're concerned about players not having enough game-time, the shorter 15-game style season is attractive to players, similar to a Super season

Huge day of news overnight with former Wallaby Brett Robinson elected World Rugby Chairman

Not the first Aussie Rugby star this week to win by a razor thin margin as he bests France No8 Abdelatif Benazzi 27-25

On top of this, shot clocks confirmed for permanent adaption for lineouts/conversions
