I agree. Lolesio struggled but was a huge ask. He will get another shot and he's still the best option if JOC (James O'Connor)/To'omua are injured. I also don't understand hiding him at the back, he got caught out on defense twice which would have hurt his confidence even more. He is just as good at defending...

I like the idea of Hodge at 15. DHP was woeful. I was a big Banks Critic asking for him to be dropped for his lack of attack, but at least he defused bombs and gave us a extra 10 metre touch finders. I wouldn't mind seeing how Maddocks goes at 15 but I'm worried about his high ball skills, I...

Shit. I was thinking that about Lolesio. I better watch the replay more closely.

Sounds a bit like Noah Lolesio and we just saw how that went. Stewart is too fresh. Simone was solid at 12. We just need JOC (James O'Connor) or To'omua to be fit for 10.

As good as he is, he still throws the 50/50 pass to often. He's thrown away of lost possession every game he's played.

Simone looked alright too.

Me too. To'omua would be handy too.

It was a huge ask, and unfortunately he is still the best we have given the injuries we have. Least he scored a decent try. Maybe he will go better without hiding him out the back, he got caught out of position at fullback a few times.

Dont think poor coaching had much to do with it. I don't think the game plan was wrong. it was just poor skills all round. Mainly our inability to defuse a high ball. I was an advocate for DHP to replace Bank he but was very poor, I think Banks would have been handy this game defusing bombs...

Oh i like the sound of that, hopefully take Simmons spot in the near future.

On what basis is Hodge a good back-up 10?

If we don't have the ball in the last 20mins then a fetcher would be handy. Although I agree that Samu would be a better options as he does both.

Yeh interesting. I'd probably have him on the bench ahead of Paisami then. I'm looking forward to Harrison V Lolesio battle for 10 over the next few years, which could have started this weekend if Harrison was on the bench. I think he has the best kicking game of all the Aus 10's.

It makes sense because there are no more 10's left in the squad. Unless Will Harrison is around?

Is this a record for least caps in a wallaby backline? Surely is for the last 2 decades. Petaia and Daugunu only have 6 caps between them. White, DHP, Koro only in the thirty's.

Oh JOC (James O'Connor) was injured. This could be a blessing in disguise if Noah performs.

Yeh you have to feel for Samu I thought he was solid in the first test. But I also like McReight so it will be good to see what he offers. I'm glad he dropped Wright after this poor showing. Simmons... yeh what you gunna do. I'm a bit meh at this selection. We are lacking depth at lock.

I wouldn't be surprised to never see him again unless he is 'last man standing'. He has offered nothing on attack in all his Tests. Unless he can step up this area of the game I'd prefer to start blooding alternatives. And honestly, I don't think Banks can obtain better footwork overnight some...

Yesssss ! Loving these Rennie selection. What a big risk with both Simone and Noah, but it also has the biggest upside. If Noah can keep a cool head, he is the most dangerous runner at 10, and a much better general play kicker then JOC (James O'Connor) so we should see an improvement from that alone IF he can...

I'm sure Gits was in the wallabies before the played for the Brumbies
