Eddie Jones oversees his first camp this week with several new faces hoping to make an impression in a Rugby World Cup year
ddie Jones takes the first squad of a new Wallabies era into camp on the Gold Coast this week. The 33 players he has selected are being rewarded while those left out are being challenged to nurse the hurt and channel it into onfield improvement. The 33 players selected “have delivered on work-rate, effort and intent,” said Jones.
“I love his competitiveness,” said Jones of the 21-year-old Sunshine Coast kid whose younger brother Mason is also a Rebel. “He’s always in the fight and never beaten. He’s got that feel [for] when to flatten up and when to be a little bit deeper, which is a bit of a lost art.” The 180cm, 110kg frontrower might now be the hardman Jones is hunting for the World Cup. “He scrummages hard, he’s hard on the ball, and he’s one of those guys, he’s come up the hard way and I feel like with an opportunity we might get a bit more out of him,” Jones says., Palmer is already a trailblazer. But the one-cap Wallaby is fast building a case as Jones’s most forwards-thinking lieutenant.
