Wallabies Touring Squad

45 players have been selected to train for the European tour later this year - this number will be cut down to 30 on October 10. There's a lot of familiar names, and some of the younger players included as well; in fact seven of the U21s side have been included. Not bad. I'm hoping that most of the young guys make it through the Oct 10 'cut'!

Here they are: Adam Ashley-Cooper, Al Baxter, Alister Campbell, Brendan Cannon, Mark Chisholm, David Croft, Scott Daruda, Matt Dunning, Rocky Elsom, Scott Fava, David Fitter, Adam Freier, Mark Gerrard, Matt Giteau, George Gregan, Nic Henderson, Matt Henjak, Greg Holmes, Leroy Houston, Digby Ioane, Lloyd Johansson, Alex Kanaar, Chris Latham, David Lyons, Lachlan MacKay, Hugh McMeniman, Drew Mitchell, Stephen Moore, Stirling Mortlock, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Jeremy Paul, Clyde Rathbone, John Roe, Mat Rogers, Wendell Sailor, Nathan Sharpe, Brett Sheehan, Cameron Shepherd, George Smith, Ben Tune, Lote Tuqiri, Morgan Turinui, Phil Waugh, Chris Whitaker, Bill Young.

Club rugby finals are happening all over the place in Australia... Good luck to Surfers First and Second grades tomorrow who play Palm Beach in their respective finals :) And, good luck to the Breakers on Sunday who play Sunnybank in the Telstra Premier Rugby major semi final. (yes it was just last week that they played Sunnybank). Don't know if I'll get up to Brisvegas and be a Ballymoron for the day....

Later!
