Mowen is a newbie to the test arena. Moore would probably get it before Mowen. But Genia has been a stand in captain hasn't he?

Wouldn't Genia be given the captain's gig if Horwill is gone? Beale seemed in good spirits in front of the media today. Good to hear

I thought it was quite complimentary. He knows he didn't play to his best both because of performance and the situation, but he was still trying his best (hence the heart comment) to put the Wallabies into a winning position.

What rubbish. The Barnes injury was a freak of nature. It was an unexpected occurrence that happened after a Folau was pushed. Undercooked had absolutely nothing to do with it. He was running freely, he was kicking freely (and poorly) and passing fine. If he had pulled a hammy or done his...

Izzy on the wing was a great decision. He had the space out wide to work his magic, he didn't have to be the primary ball receiver of opposition kicks, he didn't have to be concerned with kicking. It's not that he's not good at those things, but that his most dangerous weapon - running and...

Hasn't it been confirmed that Deans made Lilo the kicker and then JOC (James O'Connor) was number 2 option.

Good post gel. Crowd sounded awesome through the TV. Yeah after Beale made that great break, I was even yelling to the telly, "GET IT TO FOLAU" Just wasn't to be tonight. The opportunities were there for the Wallabies on the back of some very good play. Douglas and Mowen really added...

Here we go, all the circular arguments are coming back. For what it's worth if Beale has been playing at 10 in training then surely he is the next cab off the rank. Not someone outside the squad.

James O'Connor had a Nathan Grey-style game at 10 tonight. Ran hard and I thought he toiled well in defence besides a couple of missed tackles. But with Lilo off he needed to change and play a more playmaking role. He could've taken on the line more had they had that 2nd 5/8 in Lilo to set up...

Not Deans speak, a lot of NZers say "shape" when talking about a backline :) If KB (Kurtley Beale) has been running at 10 in training, now is the time to make the Chris Latham/Joe Roff decision for Test 2

Been saving that one up for a while aye biggsy....

But no matter who is at 10 and whether it is Super rugby or Test rugby, Genia always plays that playmaking role and does it for large chunks of games. Even does it with his BFF...

He did. But we'll done to KB (Kurtley Beale) for wanting to be the guy to take on the pressure. By the way who is this joker on channel 10 with Eales and Burke? "Should the Lions be scared" hahaha

Agree. He's been doing it for years and its a huge liability in his game.

The earlier missed kick is where Beale would be disappointed. That was a lot easier i thought. Don't despair Wallaby fans. It's a 3 test series. OZ were right there. 12 years ago and plenty were writing them off after Test 1. Would love to see JOC (James O'Connor) at fullback and Gilbert at 10.

KB (Kurtley Beale) slips up. Lets hope he doesn't 'slip up' tonight..... Great game to watch. Well done both sides. Very intense. Folau barely touched the ball in the 2nd half. Shame really

Huge moment for KB (Kurtley Beale)

Here it is for Gilbert take 2

Quality contribution

Aarrgghhhh Horwill loses it. Phipps on for????
