nah leave Rocky at 6 & play either Brown, Palu or Hodgson at 8.

What position 6, 8 or bench?

At the end of the day New Zealand had 3 teams in the top 4 this year & we Aussies had zero so regardless of what we think about certain Kiwi players they must be doing something right. I do believe that most Aussie players seem to play better for country than club & cetain Kiwi players are the...

I've never been a huge fan of RoSo but there is still plenty of backrow talent across the ditch, Vito has been classy Lattimer as suggested earlier plus blokes like Kaino, Luakai & Thompson who has been brilliant this year although he was flakey for the AB's last year. My Best Ab 15 1. The...

Spot on Langthorne. I think Genia & JOC (James O'Connor) may get there.

Phil Mooney has also dropped in my eyes, his constant selection of Blair Conner & Rod Davies was a miserable joke. Phil hadn't put much thought into defence this season & he dropped the wrong players when the axe had to be wielded. I think Nucifora should get the gig when Robbie Deans moves on.

Oh well they are gone now & we just have to move on like thay have, hopefully young blokes like Luke Morahan & Scott Higginbotham fill the void.

Spot on, it would be a very rare 16 year old athlete that dreams of his bank balance at night rather than scoring the winning try for the Wallabies in a bledisloe. I know I'm not in the position of being offered money but if I was 25 with the RWC 2years away I wouldn't be looking overseas...

If MMM was fair dinkum then he'd take a look back & realise that minutes for money he's probably one of the most expensive rugby players we've had plus his medicare costs. Well that Flowers was a bigger fuckwit than I thought & the ARU can kiss this 5th team goodbye if they can't afford to...

McCaw maybe better than Smith but Smith is still world class. I think Mortlock has been the best 13 in world rugby for a while now, although some Irish fans may disagree.

It's a shame MMM didn't stay I know the money on offer isn't great but he has been paid a lot of money to sit around being injured most of the time at least he should have hung around to play the 2011 RWC & then chase the Euro or Yen he owes his fans & Australian Rugby that much. If Digby goes...

How come one former Brumbie (Rod Kafer) has claimed Ben Alexander can play tighthead on the Rugby Club & now another former Brumbie denies it.

That's spot on Naza, Benn Robinson, Ben Alexander, Pek Cowan, Stephen Moore & TPN are all very good ball runners & Smith,Pocock, Waugh, Brown & Hodgson are basically all opensides & we will expect to see at least 2 of that 5 start in the run on 15 with either Brown or Hodgson at 8. I expect...

Re: My Wallaby 22 Thanks Fatprop, I'm actually a bit of a stats fan so I enjoy reading that sought of stuff, favourite stat was the tackle average made & missed with David Pocock miles in front of everyone with 16.5 tackles made to only 0.5 missed. That is freakish stuff.

Spot on Langthorne, I think the Aussies side always look better when the play possesion rather than territory. Aussie side are the kings of aimless kicking so I think our back 3 this season should always look to counter attack 1st kick 2nd. Another rule I'd like Deans to apply would be no...

Ditto. Easily the best flyhalf in the super 14 this season & I think he played in every game.

I voted no and I think I have plenty of reasons why he wouldn't make my 22 & shouldn't make Deans either. 1. Not quick enough 2. Isn't elusive anymore & rarely does he beat his marker 3.No kicking game to speak of, has an alright chip kick & that's it. 4.Isn't as good as AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Hynes, Turner...

Please vote & give your reasons why you would or wouldn't inclue Lote Tuqiri in your matchday 22.

Re: My Wallaby 22 Langthorne, I totally agree with you on Lote Tuqiri but I think the complete opposite of the other two, I think AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) usually plays his best against the AB's & George Smith is still the king & if anyone is going to take his crown it's Pocock not Waugh.

I'm pretty happy with that squad there will be some adjustments come tri-nations time I'm sure,l was wondering why he's picked 3 looseheads but I remember Rod kafer saying on the Rugby Club that Alexander can play both sides. Hodgson must be cover for Palu but I'm happy with him being there as...
