Hooper has been great and there is no way he won't start this test match because he is our form player. Robbie knows he can't drop him to the bench and robbie wants to win this so he can secure his job with a 3-1 tour. But what Pocock and Hooper offer is so different. Both a great defenders...

hahaha. Might as well just play Dennis at 8.

ahh forgot the welsh have technology... if i was them i'd leave it open.

He'll play. Just wondering how his teammates will feel about him if he doesn't play well? You can't make this much of a fuss and then not deliver.

Looking at the weather - Should be a chilly 3DEGREES for kick off. No rain duing the game but some ealier which won't dry up so it's going to be cold and slippery. Wallabies not going to like that.

To be fair - for a blond bloke that is a sensational mo Berrick is rocking there. Straight out of a dodgy 70s cop show. I couldn't even see one on the badger. Which wing does North play on? Would love a north v badger showdown. Just smashing into each other.

He just has to stop trying to do it all himself and PASS. So many times he didn't pass and got caught. This is what robbie deans should be coaching Beale. (wrong sport I know but still applies - great simple lesson).

hmmm the list of things where Deans show's consistency is not a good bunch of words.

Why is Samo not on the bench?? Dennis is a solid worker who puts in the effort but he isn't an 'impact' man. I would only sub higgers for Dennis if we were getting killed at the breakdown. Otherwise this team is mega-awesome. Best this year. I smell test meat.

The more this kind of back and forth dialogue occurs in the media the less respect I have for Quade. How the fuck can he be incontactable by the ARU and even his Coaches when this shitstorm is going on. I've said all week that this is playing out exactly as the cooper camp wants. We can assume...

Higgers for Dennis Moore for TPN Sheehan for Phipps Sounds like we're going to annouce our best team yet this year to play Italy. Bring it!!

Really hope Sheehan gets a go. Must be a bit depressing sitting on the bench for 80 minutes behind a guy the media labled 'probably the worst halfback australia has ever fielded'... Apart from phipps - we need to stick with the same backline so they can gel a bit and hopefully cut italy up...

or at least when they are over 21

Funny enough time has erased by memories of Latham's tackling issues- but you're right it was his worst side so fair play. As far as I recall mccabe is an ok kick from 15 (not as good as latham though) and I like his ability to hit the line at angles which latham was also good at and watching...

Cummins has put his hand up hard and his abbrasive style over the last 4 games shows he has the goods to mix it at international level and a style that I would love to see at 13. I've had a man crush on AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) for years...but the years are not on his side anymore and he's just not cunning enough...

to be fair i'm not so sure. i never rated him a potential wallaby but since coming in its hard to see him out - bit like hooper. might be a long term 13 option after all

If anyones doubting Cummins is one of rugby's true hard men...
