6'5" (1.95m) flanker Tomas Etcheverry a shock selection on the wing. Has played a lot of 7s so certainly mobile. Los Teros looking to match the size of Chile's outside backs?

Well... some uncertainty in the case of Fines-Leleiwasa. The game was broadcast as Australia 'A'... and the RFU match report says Australia 'A'... but the World Rugby site says Australia XV. So... 🤷♂️ englandrugby.com/follow/news-me… world.rugby/match/ec3a7d6f…
Fines-Leleiwasa played for Australia 'A' vs England 'A' on November 17, 2024 at Twickenham. According to World Rugby's documents, that makes him ineligible to play for Fiji until November 17, 2027.
Ready to represent. Your #RedRoses for #RWC2025! 🌹 @O2 | #WearTheRose

Julia Omokhuale another very surprising omission from that Canada squad. Had her down as a certainty. Kinda frustrating that the announcement doesn't include a standby list.
This is a very good squad... but where is Krissy Scurfield? Has to be injured? A stunning omission if she's fit.

Can't agree with this. Wall was excellent in a short run at the end of the season but Aidan King was an absolute standout for NOLA all year.
.@USARugby Eagle #537 Christian Dyer has announced his retirement on Instagram. 21 tries and 109pts in 51 @usmlr games (48 starts) across 4 seasons for @HOUSaberCats (2022-24) and @RugbyFCLA (2025), and 14 caps for 🇺🇸! Congratulations, Christian! #MLRStats #MLR2025 #RFCLA
Runner-up to Balekana for Player of the Year. Bertranou was a perfect fit for LA's run-and-gun style and was clearly the best player at his position this season.
RFCLA’s historic postseason run. Bertranou helped make it happen. Your 2025 @sportsbreakscom Back of the Year, @gbertranou @RugbyFCLA | #MLR2025

This one needed a tie-breaker to decide (a panel votes on 1st XV and individual awards). Guessing the runner-up will pick up another award so will wait to reveal... Fourth straight Free Jack to pick up PoY: 2022: Beaudein Waaka 2023: Jayson Potroz 2024: Wayne van der Bank
