First Wallabies Squad for July 2026

First Wallabies Squad for July 2026

This is a video from John Fergusons Rugby Podcast Off the Ruck from about a month ago talking about the depth chart for the Wallabies. I thoroughly recommend checking his channel out if you love Aussie Rugby. Now I'm not sure the exact number of players that will be named in the squad but its usually around 35/36. Given injuries to Bell and Skelton who would people pick for the first squad of the year? I am basing mine of both current form but also realistically who I think will be there. So here is my 36 man squad for July and I will be interested to hear what people think and if any changes would be made? So starting with LHP : Slipper (Now bell is injured i reckon they call him in), Tom Robertson and Blake Schoup. Hookers: Pollard, Dobbins, Fessler. THP: AAA, Nongorr, De Luttis. I think they rest Tupou. Locks: Frost, Lukhan, Williams and Shaw. Loose Forwards: Bobby V, McReight, Wilson, Tizzano, Cale, Hooper and Samu. 9s: McDermott, Lonergan and Robertson. 10s: Gordon and Donaldson. Centres: Len, JAS, Henry and Hunter (Although not sure about the 4th centre). Wings: Jorgo, Pietsch, Ryan and Toole(would have been Lancaster over Toole had he not been ruled out with a serious looking injury). I don't think Lomax makes the first squad but could be wrong. Fullback: Wright and Campbell (Although Harvey could be there I know he is young but I feel like Jorgo he is one of those rare young players that is ready). Lastly Utility back: Filipo Daugunu. My 23 from the squad would be: 1. Slipper, 2. Pollard, 3. AAA, 4. Frost, 5. Lukhan, 6. Hooper, 7. Fraser, 8. Bobby V, 9. Lonergan, 10. Dono, 11. Pietsch, 12. Len, 13. JAS, 14. Jorgo, 15. Wright, 16. Fessler, 17. Robertson, 18. Nongorr, 19. Williams, 20. Cale, 21. McDermott, 22. Gordon, 23, Daugunu.

Super Rugby Pacific 2026 Team of the Week: Looking at the best Australian performers from Round 10

Thoughts? I'd agree with the majority of the selections but the article praises Jake Gordon? Is it just me or did everyone find he had a poor game? He is not having a great season and personally I think Robertson should get a look in over him in the wallabies squad (Unlikely tho). I cant understand why they persist with him or am I just missing something? Also I would have Dylan Pietsch over Corey Toole all day everyday and twice on Sundays and Bayley Kuenzle over David Feliuai. Would people be in agreement?

The Force with an almighty comeback

Best performance by the force in Perth I've seen in a long time. Lomax I don't want to glaze him too much but he was very good tonight after a few errors to start. Carlo the man once again. Dylan Pietsch is one hella of a winger. The Halves were good as well and the pack stood up really well. So impressed by the fight of the team after I personally thought the game was over after they went down 19-0. Thoughts on the game?

Drua make the most of lacklustre Brumbies

what can you say about that performance. Shocking from the Brums. First half was Horrendous. Valentini, Toole and Reimer only ones that had respectable game the rest pony. Plenty to work on before the canes next weekend. Fair play to the Drua they derserved it.
