@ChristypDoran Incredible that Kerevi was never retained and managed. Ikitau emerging as arguably best centre in the game has probably not helped the Kerevi situation

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Where is the consistency here??? Unbelievable

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@kinson88 @iainpayten @JWDrennan Is there any update on the article @iainpayten did about young players in France and the retention plans? Will Heinz Lemoto go on Spring Tour/Nations Championship?

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Great move for him and he'll definitely get exposure to different rugby in a competitive league. Heineken Cup too. One to add to the list of PONI offshore. I must admit to not understanding why he didnt feature more for NSW ahead of others

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran It also allows Cheika to make a play to coach Australia again which he has always wanted. Such a shame the way it ended in 2019 for someone who cared so much

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Can only imagine if EJ had kept Foley for that season/WC in 23. Was surprised JS didnt use him for Lions series given his big game experience

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Hopefully with the recent returns of Perese and Hosea they can improve in that area. SMH reported in December there was an invite to young players based in France to attend Wallabies training session before the France test in Paris. Would be great if they continue to improve here

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@JWDrennan Fantastic for Ulster. Clearly giving Les Kiss full control and not hanging around in background

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran The figures are staggering. Is there any confirmation on the NZ Warriors opening their Academy in Canterbury area? That is a major threat to NZ rugby too

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Fully deserving. He's been very good for Reds. Good selection

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran When does RA just grab bull by horns and just take Heinz Lemoto on Spring Tour to give him a cap?

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Key question is would he be selected ahead of a Skelton, fully fit Frost, Lukhan, Canham, Shaw or Tom Hooper? Still that's now him and Meafou

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@biscuitman007 @ChristypDoran Yes. At one point his stock was quite high given his body of work with ACT and his role with Wallabies under Dave Rennie. When he left for Leicester my understanding was it was a case of a top coach leaving Australian shores much like Jason Gilmore and Nathan Grey. NSW not easy

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@kinson88 @iainpayten @StanSportRugby @wwos Will RA re-invest in the elite National Player Programme/Academy that John O'Neill introduced in 2004 - 2013?

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran How does Doleman keep getting big games?! Surely his performance has to be reviewed? Its a very tricky job obviously but there are better referees

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@kinson88 @iainpayten @StanSportRugby Will RA be reinvesting in the U21 National Academy again? This was removed around 2014 according to EJ

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran hey Christy, is there any news on Jarrah McLeod? Felt he was a Wallaby bolter last season

[James McKay @jimboufc]

@ChristypDoran Thats such a shame, a real dark horse for Wallaby squad
