Seems like there is a few areas of selection where everyone differs. 1) Samo or Higger - A hard one for me. I think Higgers should probably be given the benfit of the doubt and another chance to start but he is possibly shaping as one of those guys how is best used as an impact player off...

I'm expecting the following team:- 1. Ben Daley 2. Tatafu Polota-Nau 3. James Slipper 4. Sitaleki Timani 5. Rob Simmons 6. Dave Dennis 7. Beau Robinson 8. Wycliff Palu (if he cant play in this game, he wont go to New Zealand) 9. Nick Phipps 10. Berrick Barnes 11. Drew Mitchell...

There has been a lot of people saying AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) did nothing and Fainga'a should given his starting spot. I'm not sure Id agree. I watched the game again last week and saw AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Making some big tackles. We also made a great break which lead to the only try of the game. I think it's a bit unfair to give...

My starting team and squad as of today would be as follows:- 1. Kepu 2. Moore (in outstanding form) 3. Alexandar 4. Horwill (the world's form lock) 5. Sharpe 6. Elsom 7. Pocock 8. Higgers 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Ioane 12. McCabe 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. JOC (James O'Connor) 15. Beale 16. TPN...

England and Wales both looked average last night. nowhere near the tri-nations standards right now. France were okay and Ireland are going to have to improve immensely to challenge the wallabies at the world cup.

I have to agree. In the first half every 50/50 call Lawrence gave to the Boks and I felt some of his decisions really prevented Australi from gaining any momentum. In particular I would point to his decision right before half time to immediately rule that the ball wasn't coming out. That was a...

I thought we found a really good balance in our backrow this week. Higgers I thought did a good job and I like the idea of bring Samo on towards the end of the game. So we could possibly go with Samo or Higgers with the other on the bench. I'm still hoping Palu will be fit for the world...

I think you'r pretty close here. Although honestly ill be shocked if benn robinson is on the plane to NZ. Hope im wrong about that. Palu also is running out of time. Horne i expect will be there although i dont really know why. Barnes i understand is fit and I'd actually be more surprised to...

Is that not putting pressure on Cooper? Disagree that another distributer wouldn't assist. Barnes has a cooler head than Cooper. Always has always will. I'd prefer to see him stepping in at first reciever now and then, rather than forcing cooper to do all the work. Cooper is the type of...

I didn't see him helping out at first reciever on Saturday.

Lets face it we desperately need Barnes. We need someone that can step into the first reciever role on occasions to take the pressure off Cooper. Otherwise teams just concerntrate on putting pressure on coops

This will all be irrelevant if the wallabies get up this weekend.

haha Brett Harris said everything i was thinking, but wouldn't dare say out loud for fear of sounding like a complete git.

From memory we played a similar front row (Mafu and Fainga'a) against the boks last year and we did okay. Our starting combination should be able to handle the Boks tight five quite well, probably even put some pressure on them on their own feed. If mafu and Fainga'a both come on that will make...

We still have a chance to take a mental edge into the world cup with a win at Suncorp. We'll be going from a stadium where we never win (eden park) to a stadium where we rarely lose. My opinion has never changed over the last 7 days. I was always of the view that we would lose at Eden Park and...

I certainly saw a lot of positives out of that game. Lets not forget that we never win at Eden Park. Some very good teams have gone there and been walloped over the years but the score board in this game doesn't really tell the tale. The missed penalty kicks and the final NZ "try" (that really...

My first choice Bench (provided no benn robinson) 16. TPN 17. Alexander 18. Vickerman 19. McCalman 20. Robinson 21. Burgess 22. Mitchell

somebody should tell PDV that

I don't think this means that Sharpe is out of the WC. There is no way Deans would prefer Timani over Sharpe in curmcstances where Timani played one (poor) test match against Samoa. Deans, like everyone else, knows we need to up our aggression to beat the kiwis so i think Vicks is the logical...

I think the Wallabies can give the Blecks a run for their money next weekend. I'm finding it hard to pick my preferred backrow for the game. I think I'd like to see Samo starting at 8. He'll be more dominant in the tackle than McCalman. I was impressed with how he played against the New...
