Because on this season he has shown he defends better than James O'Connor. If he makes the final squad I doubt it will be the starting 10.

There are a number of reasons (as poor as they are) that Deans did not select QC (Quade Cooper). I would say that Warren's comments were just one aspect. Haven't you heard of mind games between coaches before? Say what you want, Gatland is loving this.

Because we've played directly into his hands. Can you honestly not see through his mind games? Well Robbie can't - "yes warren has already offered his opinion on our selection herrr herrrr duurrr". The last thing Gatland wants to come up against is Quade Cooper and an attacking backline. So...

This is just sad... The rest of the rugby world (specifically Gatland) are laughing at us. I think the only way Quade will satisfy Robbie is if he walks on water.

and Quade Cooper.

Just play hooper in the centres, smith at 8, pocock at 7 and gill at 6. We'd be the no.1 team in no time

But where's the fun in that?

GILLLYYYY. Good ol' gill. Hope he gets in. I reckon he's a future wallaby skipper.

Yeh thats what I was backing up. Although if RoffsChoice is right then maybe we will see his name at 2pm.

No McCabe hey. Will that alter Deans approach to who plays 10?

White is uncapped isnt he? Hence not being named in the uncapped players = not in the squad

Lilo can only be good for QCs Chances. White may be a victim of the experience over form decisions? Phipps has already been introduced to test level so dont take the riskk?

Where are you guys getting this?

why so? I would think centres would have a bigger bearing on the 10

I can't express in words how much I agree with this. Unfortunately Deans will probably see it in a different way...

Finally saw the first try to Rod... How could that possibly be called obstruction? He was a Lock about 5m away from morohan. There was no way he was going to get to him. On top of that, do none of these TMOs understand the concept of downward pressure? It doesnt matter whether it popped up...

How disappointing. You know the reds are screwed when Genia is off his game... Props to the Cheetahs.

YOU CANT TAKE OUT THE HALFBACK.

hahahaha this is fucking comical. Every other pass I wouldve called fine apart from that one. Horrible TMO

In hindsight, shouldve taken the penalties. They gave away a heap of shots and the cheetahs kept giving up the penalties. Ahh hindsight is a wonderful thing
