Why didn’t they leave it so that 70+ test Wallabies were eligible no matter what and that they could select 3 players who did not qualify under the Giteau rule? Those guys have earned it, as has anyone of the current players that get there like Hooper. Quade and Beale qualify, Genia if they...

Just the fact that hes not a real lineout option is an issue. The other side of it is it does not appear as if he is motivated to play. I mean, he will if RA jump through all the hoops but he has been approached many times since going OS and has shown a complete lack of will to jump through any...

I am yet to be convinced by Skelton but am open to being proven wrong. He has done nothing in test rugby to suggest that he can dominate at that level

He looked very sharp but did not have to defend much. He could work at 12

Where is Stewart going? He will be missed. He keeps their midfield together.

If he is on the bench he needs to cover both. I’m not sure that he has the stomach for what Rennie wants from his 12. More likely Paisami or LF will fill the role.

WTF is going on with you? Good news……for who? An injury is good news? You need to choose a new sport.

He takes Marky Marks place with Kellaway still injured. I doubt he will be in the 23 just yet. Hes playing well.

We assume that Slipper starts at LH with Sio on the bench. Campbell is interesting. Is Petaia fit?

We can roll them easily if we get it right in the top two inches. Assume we will have Arnold, Cooper, Petaia and others back if needed

JOC (James O'Connor) is out of form but looked good earlier this year

I think we should be watching the other blokes closely. Noah should stay with the squad and hopefully he will continue to improve and expand his game. However we should not (yet) install him as our first option at 10. The A program is perfect to see all the up and coming players a level up from...

Quade and KB (Kurtley Beale) have both earned the right to be picked from anywhere. Not sure if KB (Kurtley Beale) is still in the picture but both of these blokes should not be included in any cap of OS players. Ditto for any players with more than 50 caps that go OS.

I’m not sure we can progress with Noah at 10. Hopefully Quade is fit and gets a run in Argentina and we will see his worth, Koroibete is a gun but if it turns out we are a much better side with QC (Quade Cooper) at 10 then they will need to look at him or Arnold. Or of course they could increase the number to...

He is slightly taller and was the same weight 3 years ago. He still has a little growing to do. I am not suggesting Hooper is replaced, I am a massive fan and he has earned the right to be there. As you would expect, McReight is closing the gap.

Gleeson might be worth a look at for 6. He is very busy. Not sure about his set piece work but he looks a future star

Pretty well on the money but I can only guess that you didn’t watch much of the As games? McReight was everywhere and was a step above everyone else on the paddock in both games. He was bullying rather than being bullied. He’s getting stronger and carry’s the ball often and well. Hooper is...

Worth a run at 6 if fit. Still looking for the right fit there

I think QC (Quade Cooper) is our best bet for the next RWC with maybe two of Donaldson, JOC (James O'Connor) and Noah backing him up. Hope this calf injury for Quade is just a unfortunate accident. As previously stated, there were so many soft tissue injuries with this squad. A couple looked unfit. Are they coming in fit...

He was in everything. Looks to be good defensively and also has a decent passing game. 10 or 12 in union I would think.
