No Zikarsky or Siulepa.
Wish they would take these tournaments a bit more seriously.

A few Sudanese kids in the squad. What is the point of picking Sundanese kids if the boomers coach wouldn't pick them for the WC or Olympics, then they get pissed off and play for South sudan instead.

If the Sudanese kids are the best talent and are eligible you pick them. No one who played for South Sudan at the Olympics who would be eligible to play for Australia was ever being picked for the Boomers! If they are the best available and they tick off the criteria it would be stupid not to pick them. Not every Caucasian Australian that plays for junior National Representative teams makes the Boomers!!! Not picking them for your reason's borders on racism.

You would hope so in asia.
5th-16th and not qualifying for the WC is a fail.
Getting more difficult to qualify these days which is why I think not taking our best is a mistake.

Holy cow, we look terrible.
Too much hero ball.
What's with the s5? This should be the 2nd unit mostly.

37-23 up at the half.
This team may lose the title.

Toughest 1/4 final matchup. Hope we get it done or we won't make the WC.

Good D 1st half, Japan really struggling to put the ball in the basket.

A transtasman final coming up. I haven't watched much but looking at the squads it could be a good match up. NZ reliant on a two or three players whereas aussie look like they've got a stronger roster

Adair winning mvp is definitely a surprise.

Assume you thought Furphy would have been MVP. That's what I expected.
How do you think they will go in the World Cuo next year?
