Several stars have been given a wake-up call by a Wallabies squad that points to Eddie Jones' Rugby World Cup plans. 👀 TRC2023 9WWOS
Donaldson, the Waratahs playmaker who will join the Force next season, was the third player listed as a utility by Jones.
"To be honest, I thought the way I've been playing this year, I probably wasn't expecting to make it," Donaldson"I knew the squad was coming out. I didn't get too caught up in it or anything. I haven't really been playing the way I want to this year, neither has our team, so I wasn't really expecting anything. To see my name there, I was over the moon. Whenever you get named in a Wallabies squad, it's a big achievement.
The No.8 has won back-to-back Stan Pilecki Medals as Queensland's best player but is ranked behind Brumbies Rob Valetini and Pete Samu at national level. "He's going to be given a chance to say 'right, we're going to watch the next two or three times you take the field, we need to keep seeing this and you're going to be in the squad.' That's what Beaver's going to do."The rugged lock/blindside had also been tipped by good judges as a likely selection after some strong club form in England.
