Ok, Hypothetical question here for anyone who wants to bite. What happens next week if McMahon comes out and has an absolute blinder against Wales....MOTM performance.....does Hooper come straight back in to #7 next week? ...or does McMahon keep his spot and we see Hooper on the bench as a...

Tyler Morgan looks to be a very exciting young player. I tend to agree with those that feel he is a little green for the big games but with all the injury concerns I was surprised to not see him named on the bench at least.

Yep.....I am sure the wallabies analysts would have pin pointed North as a potential defensive weakness, not because he can't tackle as he is generally quite good, rather that #13 is such a hard position to defend. My bet is that we will see some more variations based on the switch play we saw...

Let's just all hope that Foley doesn't have a shocker this weekend so we can avoid the mandatory shit fight that follows on the forum anytime our #10 doesn't play well.

LOL....I believe Matt's quote was from 2011 and at the time it was appropriate, I thought. Thanks for pointing that out as I think now is as good a time as any to find something else.

I am happy to see Warburton playing at #6 as he has been far less effective in the past when starting on that side. I will be looking to see how Foley and Gits target big George north at #13. Sure he is a damaging runner and we will have our hands full containing him but I would not be...

30 points then.......sounds great!

I think the scrums pop up on the back of defensive pressure from the Wallabies. If we continue with the rush defense that alone will cause a few handling errors, especially if Wales start to push passes in an attempt to get to the outside channels where their danger men are. I don't recall Fiji...

I would prefer to see Giteau sit this one out to be honest. Rib injuries generally take and age to heal and it seems like he has been carrying this one since the SA test during TRC. I think he has copped a heavy knock in the ribs every match has played since then. I would much rather he sit this...

Funny you mention the confidence thing as for my mind he has not had the same impact since coming back from the shoulder injury (last year?). #13 is one position we seem to be pretty thin on.....is it a safe assumption that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is covering #13 should TK go down?

Good point BH. It was interesting that the wallaby management had made rumblings about challenging QC (Quade Cooper)'s yellow card from the previous week but I am guessing that never happened? I agree that it would be a good deal safer to take the slap on the wrist, have Hooper sit this one out and be back on...

Interesting point BH. You would think the red card incidents would be pretty obvious and deserved of on on-field yellow at the very least. I can understand that the ref's would prefer to see the citing officer review the offenses after the match than make the wrong call during a big game though...

Agree on McMahon for Hooper as that is as close to a like-for-like replacement as we could make anywhere in the sqaud. Also, looking at the number of set-piece plays involving Pocock at #8 it would make little sense to tamper with those by shifting him up the side of the scrum. I think Gits...

When he grows up we will have the ManCock :confused:......that is a silent "ho" in mancock of course :confused:

Is there a "dislike" button on here somewhere? I didn't catch Folau leaving the pitch.....hope it is nothing serious.

So what are we looking at as far as casualties? Horne looks like he popped his shoulder and will most likely be on the plane back to Sydney this week. Taff's head knock might see him sit the next one out? Gits most likely re-injured his ribs and will sit the next one out? Any others that...

I bet it was something special AG. I am very jealous and have already been looking for airfares for next week. Enjoy that atmosphere champ!

Yes, agree regarding Moore. Did anyone catch him telling Marler...." Don't touch me mate" while talking to Poite?

You just got my vote for "post of the year" DP.....brilliant....thank you!
