I love the quote from Clinton Schifcofske's manager (Steve Gillis) upon learning that Schif was not selected for the extended 59 man Wallaby training squad: "We should win the World Cup by 50 points. If he can't make the top 59 players, I am looking forward to seeing the exceptional team we will have."
I completely agree with his sarcastic sentiment. With an injury cloud still floating over Chris Latham, how in heck can the selectors ignore Schifcofske AND Peter Hewat?! Hewat's 150 points a season for the last 3 Super rugby seasons is surely enough for practice squad selection for a Wallabies team highly criticised over their lack of innovation and execution. And if not Hewat, why not Schifcofske, who was a tackling, kicking, line breaking machine this year...
I'll be rooting for Australia in September, but the sooner John Connolly finishes up his tenure as Australian coach, the better.
(At least Bernie is back to form...)
