Potentially a very young forward line. Be very interesting to see how Irankunda goes. Lots of ex ALM young talent. 7 new caps.
No current ALM players named, but then of course it's still pre season down under. That does highlight Australia's greater depth though, as Bazeley had to chose 9 from the A League.
More optimistic about the AWs chances now, though Poppa can still pick an experienced hardened starting 11. Do like it how the FA list the players junior clubs with the squad naming.
