 Players will rise and fall throughout the course of the following seven months as they compete for seats on the flight to France.

Since being named the Wallabies coach, Eddie Jones has stated twice that “Sportsmen elect and reject ourselves.”

We shall evaluate the significant form swings and lulls in the Australian playing ranks at regular intervals throughout the course of the next seven months till the Rugby World Cup 2023.

We realise that not everyone will agree with our choices. It’s possible that no one will; still, we’d love to know who you think is hot and who isn’t.

The goal is to list the best players who could fill each position, provided the Rugby World Cup started today. The injured people were acknowledged; however, they are unable to occupy a position on the depth chart.

Wallabies Power Ranking: Looseheads

•          James Slipper

•          Tom Robertson

•          Angus Bell

•          Matt Gibbon

Slipper, who will be 34 by the time the Rugby World Cup kicks off, proved to Dave Rennie how important he was by taking over as captain after Michael Hooper resigned in Argentina. By the time the Rugby World Cup begins, Slipper and Dave Rennie will both be the age of 34.

Although Slipper was undoubtedly well-liked by his teammates, he did struggle with giving up penalties in the Rugby Championship. A problem that Rennie was never really able to overcome and which ultimately contributed to the win-loss record that accelerated his downfall.

Hookers

•          Dave Porecki

•          Lachie Lonergan

•          Josh Nasser

•          Folau Fainga’a

•          Tolu Latu

Last year, Porecki solidified his position as the best player after Fainga’a’s appearances mostly from the bench were marred by numerous disappointing lineout blunders at crucial times. Rennie’s favoured third-in-line, Lonergan, got to play in a few Tests and even scored the game-winning try against Wales in November.

 The wildcard in this situation, though, is Latu, who has returned to the Tahs after a dismal and disorganised period in France that resulted in a 10-week suspension. There aren’t many more devastating hookers in rugby than Latu, according to Darren Coleman, when he’s on point. Latu appears to be the man who could experience the highest rise or biggest collapse this year as our power rankings project progresses.

Tightheads

•          Pone Fa’amausili

•          Allan Alaalatoa

•          Sam Talakai

Many people believe Alaalatoa will be the next in line for the Wallabies skipper and might perhaps take the squad to the RWC 2023. Talakai is the only other named fit tighthead in the 44-man camp under Renni. It means that the stocks after him are now quite low.

The recovery of Taniela Tupou from his shattered ruptured Achilles will be the focus of attention. Pone Fa’amausili didn’t make Rennie’s team. Although the gigantic tighthead prop’s ceiling is enormous, some have been disappointed by his work ethic, devotion, and effort both on and off the field.

Locks

•          Darcy Swain

•          Ryan Smith

•          Cadeyrn Neville

•          Nick Frost

•          Trevor Hosea.

•          Will Skelton

•          Izack Rodda

•          Ned Hanigan

Given the number of competitors and their ability to play as backrowers, this is one of the hardest rankings to nail down. As the season goes on, Jed Holloway may also make this list. If Rodda can regain the form he showed prior to his “devastating” foot injury, he may be a significant boost for Jones.

What happens with the Giteau Law and Skelton’s eligibility for Down Under Tests under Jones shapes as a major choice for him and the coach. Skelton has struggled to win over many Wallabies supporters with his few appearances. The multi-talented sportsman Nick Frost was selected by many fans as the Wallabies rookie of the year in 2022.

 He appears to have a promising future. After receiving two suspensions last season. The young Darcy Swain’s season will be one to remember. It will be fascinating to see how Jones develops himself and his character. Matt Philip, who suffered an ACL tear in October, has a steep hill to climb before he can rejoin the RWC 2023 race.

Blindside flankers

•          Jed Holloway

•          Lachie Swinton

•          Josh Kemeny

•          Pete Samu

•          Seru Uru

The Wallabies have been in a state of instability in this position. Since Rennie forced Holloway into the No. 6 spot in the latter half of 2022. While Rob Leota was out with an injury. Samu and Valetini were both deployed at blindside. But we decided to start the latter at No. 8.

Because Samu served as the previous coach’s back row “super sub.” Swinton is making his long-awaited comeback from shoulder nerve damage, and Kemeny of the Rebels is highly regarded and on the mend from a major injury.

Openside flankers

•          Michael Hooper

•          Brad Wilkin

•          Fraser McReight

Hoops’ comeback from his mental health vacation proved to the Wallabies his value. We’re crossing our fingers that he can continue to the Rugby World Cup. It is possibly free of the responsibility of captaincy. Fraser McReight had his moments last year. Particularly against South Africa in Adelaide.

But he has made just five Test starts overall since 2020. Charlie Gamble, who was named in the most recent 44-man camp before being eligible for the Wallabies, is an intriguing wildcard. When he becomes eligible in April. He can take over the top spot in the power rankings. Meanwhile, Wilkin attracted the attention of on Wallabies a trip around Japan

No.8s

•          Rob Valetini

•          Langi Gleeson

•          Harry Wilson

At the back of the scrum, Valetini was Rennie’s go-to person.  Because he didn’t seem to be convinced by Harry Wilson. The change in coaches may greatly benefit the Queenslander. However, if Gleeson can maintain his present pace of progress. He might easily claim the shirt as his own. After a Valetini injury, he finished the year as the starting No. 8.

Wallabies Power Ranking: Scrum halves

•          Nic White

•          Jake Gordon

•          Tate McDermott

•          Ryan Lonergan

Due to his stridency and ability, White is the best. Rennie never really made it clear through words or choice which of McDermott and Gordon he favoured as the No. 2 player. On the northern tour, Rennie rotated his three nines and left White out of the heavy defeat to Italy.

 It was the culmination of that lack of decisiveness. We’d all be interested to know if Rennie looked back and regretted his choice. In Fiji and Japan, Lonergan captained the Wallabies A squad admirably. Issak Fines has a lot of zip-zip, and it will be interesting to see how he uses the Force.

Wallabies Power Ranking: No.10s

•          Noah Lolesio

•          Bernard Foley

•          Tane Edmed

•          James O’Connor

•          Ben Donaldson

•          Carter Gordon.

Over the next seven months till RWC, this appears to be the Wallabies’ most compelling power battle. Can Quade ascend once more? He is undoubtedly betting on himself to get over his chronic injury and contribute at the Rugby World Cup 2023 and even if he does, is he to Eddie’s liking? Little information has been revealed by the coach.

Jones stated this week, “I watched (Tane) Edmed and (Ben) Donaldson play against each other, Eastwood vs. Randwick down at Coogee Oval, at the end of the last England tour. Each of them has got a lot to want over them. Donaldson looked sharp on the previous tour. He is a young man on the increase and believes to have a sound mind. Who knows, then?”

“It’s going to be competitive. Because hopefully, Quade is coming back, (Bernard) Foley is playing well in Japan, (James) O’Connor will be fit for the Reds, and (Noah) Lolesio at the Brumbies is a young man with some Test rugby experience. We’ll work to achieve coherence as soon as we can since you want it, especially at the team’s core.”

Inside centres

•          Hunter Paisami

•          Reece Hodge

•          Lalakai Foketi

•          Hamish Stewart.

The long-term injury to Samu Kerevi is a big setback for Jones. But he shares Cooper’s optimism that he will recover in time for France. Paisami also sustained injuries there, albeit not as severe ones. Lalakai Foketi was also injured, breaking his shin against France. The same match in which he completed the Wallabies’ try of the year. After the RWC, Hodge Mr Rennie’s Fixit will be travelling to France and will offer reliable utility coverage.

Wallabies Power Ranking: Outside centres

•          Len Ikitau

•          Izzy Perese

•          Josh Flook

Paisami gives this position more depth. But it appears like Ikitau and Perese will be battling it out for RWC 2023. The potential bolter is young Flook.

Wallabies Power Ranking: Wings

•          Marika Koroibete

•          Andy Muirhead

•          Jordan Petaia

•          Mark Nawaqanitawase

•          Dylan Pietsch

•          Suli Vunivalu

Nawaqanitawase, who was rejected by the Waratahs’ first trial of last season. He has since developed into one of the most entertaining players in the nation. He is the second-choice winger after world-class Koroibete. It will be intriguing to observe how Petaia’s game changes over the next seven months. Because he has a lot of potentials. Of course, depending on how the No. 15 pick plays out.

Wallabies Power Ranking: Fullbacks

•          Tom Banks

•          Tom Wright

•          Andrew Kellaway

•          Jock Campbell

Rennie Campbell has shown enough to imply that he would be a trustworthy alternative. However, he was back in action for the Wallabies A squad and did well.  Kellaway and Wright will each have their chance to shine while wearing the No. 15 shirt. He is another person whose Rugby World Cup aspirations may depend on RA’s application of the Giteau Law.
