PRICES WALLABIES ON THE HOP Sydney Uni Students JUNE Sydney University Football Club (SUFC) had a massive involvement in Australia’s three-nil whitewash in the recent 2014 $60 three-Test series against France. Six SUFC players were named in the squad for the first Test in Brisbane: five-eighth Bernard Foley and fullback Israel Folau were named in the starting line-up along with second-rower Sam Carter, Sydney Uni Staff who made his debut; and prop Paddy Ryan, halfback Nick Phipps and backrower Ben McCalman on the bench. & Community Members The second Test in Melbourne saw SUFC produce another two capped Wallabies when hooker Nathan Charles and tighthead prop Laurie Weeks entered the fray in the 74th minute. Although Weeks and Charles ran on at the same time, the Australian Rugby $65 Union follows historical convention by numbering the players in alphabetical order, so Charles became Wallaby No.881 and Weeks is Wallaby No.882. A week later in Sydney, leviathan second-rower Will Skelton made one of the great Test debuts, as capped Wallaby No.883, when he scored a try in the 10th minute and set up Folau for another with the deftest of passes. Except for Folau, all came through the Colts ranks at SUFC, with Foley being a former Elite Athlete Program (EAP) member.
