3. Beale 2. Ioane 1. Higginbotham SM: Genia

Qantas is an airline in decline my Brothers & father all worked for Qantas & the penny pinching is beyond a joke I swear they put a greater price on share holders than they do humans lives these days.

That was my favourite moment. It was straight after Quade put us in front 3-0 & the Crusaders kicked off. If anyone has the game taped you've got to watch it in slow mo he really smashed the pair of them.

The Reds don't have any other playmakers in the backline but the Wallabies will in JOC (James O'Connor) & Beale, If the AB's or Boks want to concentrate on Quade that's great news as JOC (James O'Connor) & Beale are both very comfortable leading an attack.

When we already have Genia, Quade, JOC (James O'Connor) & Beale in the backline we really don't need ball playing centres it's not like they can't do a simple draw & pass when into space & Fainga'a has already shown he has a good short passing game.

I'd like to see Fainga'a at 12 for the Wallabies mainly for his defence as I think with Barnes out he's really the best option we have with Quade @ 10. Deans would be a fool not to hide Quade in defence if you can keep Quade down to 4-5 tackles a game that's a win win. I don't think we need to...

I'd like to see Ant Fainga'a & AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) as our 12/13 centre combo, sure they aren't 105-108 kg monsters like SBW & Fruen but they both play hard & tackle well & Fainga'a & Tapuai proved that you don't need to have 100k+ centres to mix it with the best. The Stormers centre pairing of JDV & Fourie are...

Well qwerty loves to throw in his two cents when he doesn't agree & I didn't agree with him that Sam Whitelock should be on that list above James Horwill. He wanted proof & last night he got it. Anyway Go Wallabies Super season is now history.

I didn't prove you wrong Horwill did.

I was just one of those threads that lingered in the back of my head leading up to last nights blockbuster.

Sure Horwill missed the 2009 tri-nations & all of 2010 but when he was fully fit for the 2008 Tri-nations I'm sure he would have polled very well in the 3-2-1 votes against the All Blacks in Sydney & Brisbane as he was definitely one of our best that season.

Couldn't let this one slide Qwerty as Horwill just blasted two blokes from your list off the park in the most important game of the year so far.

A few suprising non selections in that bunch. A real headache when it comes to selecting the centre pairing but as always a very strong squad. I'm surprised that they haven't picked Ranger & Crockett.

3. Horwill 2. Tapuai 1. Higginbotham So difficult to pick just three players as there was big efforts all across the park but I'm glad it's not just me that has got man love for Jono Lance I thought he was brilliant last night.

The AB's have so many options in the midfield & outside backs it's not funny I think we could fit Nonu & SBW together. This is my tackle busting AB Backline. 15. Muliana, Toeava or Dagg- All 3 are brilliant. 14. Rico Gear 13. Nonu 12. SBW 11. Ranger 10. Carter 9. Weepu Not saying...

Foxsports are reporting a sellout after 45 minutes I hope ticketek have got it right this time.

So he can catch the bus from Parra to Penrith.

I went to the Sydney Bledisloe last year & the amount of kiwis in the Sydney crowd was pretty small compared to Brisbane & Melbourne. They were still very annoying but it certainly wasn't like Brisbane.

Most Kiwis in Brisbane are from the north Island so it's not like going to the bledisloe.

Inglis is born & bred NSW junior but went & played his senior footy with Norths in Brisbane who are the feeder club for the Melbourne Storm. Quade is a better tackler than Benji & would be on par with Lockyer & Thurston so there is no reason he can't make it in the NRL.
