The KOKO Show's team of selectors choose their 'Halfway Wallabies Starting XV'.

This week on The KOKO Show the lads answered a code gold call from Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt to lend a hand in the selection process of the 'Halfway Wallabies'. With eight rounds down in the Superb Rugby and other International competitions in full swing, the crew have compiled their glorious starting fifteen of shiny national nuggets of talent. All selections are certainly not final, but if this team were to take the field tomorrow, there is no doubt they would 'Schmidt it in!

@caintindal1671 my guy loves themselves a Waratah or two I see 😂. I agree with all the players in there that they’re either there or thereabouts. Problem is Schmittdog probably won’t pick a 46 strong squad. I’d say 33 to 36 maximum. He loves his core role players and the players that do the boring stuff really well as opposed to the flashy stuff. Players like Petaia imo are rocks and diamonds types, brilliant when under no pressure but if you put the blowtorch on them with good rush D they’re likely to be exposed for being out of position. Defense is going to be a huge onus, he’ll pick the players that are least likely to give away penalties and the ones who can make tackles. That being said there’s a few questionable players in my selection in that regard too 😂. It’s good to be excited about this squad. I’m actually a diehard ABs supporter but I’ll be honest and say that watching the Aussies get dominated is only fun if they’re competitive and are winning Bledisloe’s. Been a long time in between those drinks.

[@caintindal1671]

Got to let the young players be there as a extra for now let them grow a bit and not get them injurred. Not my side your not taking form players into the side the biggest problem we seen from Chieka and Eddie.
