Waratahs rocket up rankings in Wallabies coach's watch list | geerob
NSW young guns Will Harrison, James Ramm, Tom Horton and Jack Maddocks have rocketed into contention for Wallabies spots, alongside emerging Rebels cult figure Pone Faamausili, in Dave Rennie's Test watchlist.
Rennie will not name an official squad until after the Super Rugby final on September 19 but with less than a month to go, the August PONI list is a strong insight into the Wallabies coach's thinking on form and positions.In a major turnaround for NSW, Harrison, Ramm, Maddocks and Horton are listed alongside Rob Simmons, Lachlan Swinton, Ned Hanigan, plus the only three NSW players who made the same list back in May: Michael Hooper, Jake Gordon and Angus Bell.
The Moorabbin Rams junior, who weighs in at 130kg, was listed alongside the prop he's replaced at times this season, Jermaine Ainsley, as well as Queenslander Taniela Tupou, Brumbies captain Allan Alaalatoa and Waratah Harry Johnson-Holmes, who was listed as a loosehead and tighthead option. O'Connor was named alongside Rebels midfielder Reece Hodge and Brumby Irae Simone, while Hodge, Jordan Petaia and Tevita Kuridrani were named at outside centre. Rennie continues to look past veteran Karmichael Hunt, while Reds prospect Hunter Paisami dropped off the list after making a PONI squad earlier this year.
