Typical......... I know everyone says "You can't use injuries as an excuse", but lets just have a look at the players who missed most of the season shall we. Pettowa Parraka missed the back end of the year (Aus u20's) Jack Kimmance did not play a game (National Academy) Michael Bermingham...

Brad Thorn going to the Highlanders next season apparently.

He answered this on the Rugby Club. He said he thinks it'd be better if he played as a second reciever from fullback with Beale at 10.

Not sure why Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe is being overlooked, he was about on par with McCaw and just behind Read as the best foward of the comp. Same with Patricio Albacete, easily the best second rower.

Tapuai, Fainga'a, Harris aswell as Morahan, Lance, Toua. No use for an ageing Irishman in this team.

I don't really rate NZ's tight-five to be far superior than the Saffas and Argies. That's not saying they are worse, they are on about the same level or slightly above. Woodcook and Franks are the only ones I'd consider, their locks haven't impressed me and Strauss has been playing better then Hore.

Sharpe is still playing against the Darkness in Brisbane isn't he?

3- Higginbotham 2- Hooper 1- Timani Didn't think Hoops was as good as previous weeks, Higgers had his best game in a long time. Sita ran strong, plus no one else springs to mind worthy of a vote.

You cannot possibly think Whitelock, Bekker, Carrizza or Etzebeth have been better then him.

End of the competition thought we'd have a look at who has been the best. 1- Tendai Mtawarira (SA) 2- Adrian Strauss (SA) 3- Jannie du Plessis (SA) 4- Nathan Sharpe (AUS) 5- Patricio Albacete (ARG) 6- Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (ARG) 7- Richie McCaw (NZ) 8- Keiran Read (NZ) 9- Aaron Smith...

This has been the longest 12 minutes of footy I've ever watched. I feel mentally drained from watching this.

Someone get our back three baseball mits.....or a net.

Taps needs the ball, the few times he has had it he looked dangerous.

I don't believe Hooper will ever be an 8, but you can look at Sean O'Brien and Toby Faletau for example as shorter men who've become their countries first-choice number 8's. Liam Messam, Victor Vito and Marcell Coetzee are around 1.90 So it isn't a stretch, but it's all about balance...

Yep I heard he is so good no New Zealand side wanted him....sounds like a superstar to me.

1- Nic Henderson 2- Ged Robinson 3- Laurie Weeks 4- Caydern Neville 5- Hugh Pyle 6- Scott Higginbotham 7- Jarrod Saffy 8- Gareth Delve 9- Nick Phipps 10- Kurtley Beale 11- Cooper Vuna 12- James O'Connor 13- Mitch Inman 14- Lachlan Mitchell 15- Richard Kingi/ Jason Woodward Not bad, looking a...

You'd have to assume Shippers has a niggle, he didn't deserve to be benched after two games where he was solid. Not taking away from Cummins though, he deserves a shot. Taps finally, but why leave it so late? Hopefully he goes well at 13, because I think a McCabe/Tapuai pairing can be a long...

Someone who CAN jump! I think Higgers is the only player suited to a backrow combination featuring both Hooper and Pocock.

6- Pocock 7- Hooper 8- Big mother fucker who can jump
