Michael Cheika nu se dezminte. Jurnalistii australieni confirma ca, dupa sezonul precedent, a continuat sa fie acelasi antrenor neconformist si plin de surprize pentru cei de care se ocupa. Saptamana trecuta a convocat 50 de jucatori intr-un fel de team building, oferindu-le acestora ocazia sa socializeze informal, trecand prin mai multe sesiuni de munca (non fizica) impreuna. Jucatorii convocati apartin celor cinci francize care dau viata competiei Super Rugby. Practic, e tot ce are mai bun, rugby-ul australian in acest moment. Si, important, aceasta reunire vine exact in mijlocul sezonului 2015.
Iata care sunt alesii: Brumbies: Ben Alexander, Sam Carter, Scott Fardy, Tevita Kuridrani, Christian Leali'ifano, Stephen Moore, David Pocock, Scott Sio, Henry Speight, Joe Tomane, Matt Toomua, Nic White. Force: Nathan Charles, Pekahou Cowan, Nick Cummins, Tetera Faulkner, Kyle Godwin, Matt Hodgson, Ben McCalman. Reds: Quade Cooper, Saia Fainga'a, Nick Frisby, Will Genia, Liam Gill, James Hanson, James Horwill, James O'Connor, Jake Schatz, Rob Simmons, James Slipper. Rebels: Tom English, Scott Higginbotham, Luke Jones, Sean McMahon, Cadeyrn Neville. Waratahs: Adam Ashley-Cooper, Kurtley Beale, Peter Betham, Dave Dennis, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Michael Hooper, Rob Horne, Sekope Kepu, Wycliff Palu, Nick Phipps, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Benn Robinson, Paddy Ryan, Will Skelton.
In lotul de 50 sunt chemati si cativa debutanti: Tom English (Rebels), Nick Frisby (Reds) and Cadeyrn Neville (Rebels). Mai exista si alte "tinte", sub observatie, in functie de evolutiile lor in razboiul franchizelor: Adam Coleman, Rory Arnold, Karmichael Hunt and Paul Alo-Emile.
