AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) might get the nod at 13 too. Kerevi is hard to ignore he's surely the form 13. Hard to pick.

Foley will start no doubt. Cheika favoured him in the RWC when both Cooper and Foley were available and in similar form, or should I say similar poor form, refer to the Rugby Championship. Genia however, is favoured over Phipps when both are fit. So I'm tipping he may very well get his chance...

2015 Genia is preferred by Cheika over Phipps and that wasn't too flash either. So based on Genia's most recent form which is over a year ago I made my prediction. But you're right Genia's form is an unknown.However, maybe an unknown is better then picking a player out of form. Especially if...

Poor choice in words. Given Phipps poor form "right now" Genia can certainly offer more consistent service. He might be a pace slower but his decision making and passing would certainly be better then the current Phipps.

Joost & Mason have not even played a full super xv game in their life. They should be no-where near a wallabies team. Not even the extended squad. Crack super xv first then they can become part of the wallabies. Genia came out in the news this week stating how beneficial it was having an...

Maybe he can't afford not to. Depends which way you look at it.

Yes Ruan Smith is surely on the fringes and close to selection.

I like the idea of AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13. He was playing superb rugby their at the Tahs for a couple of years and only got pushed to the wing because Kuridrani was on fire. Kuridrani is in average form so AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) should get the nod there. Too soon for Kerevi and I prefer Folau at fullback against the AB's for...

Hopefully next year will be Larkham's breakout year as coach. He's had a couple of years to learn from his mistakes now.

Not sure why that would be a point of difference in Godwin's decision. As I am not sure Larkham staying would be a good or bad thing. It will depend entirely on who his successor is...

Fair call. I think we will see both Cruden and Barrett starting in the RC at one stage or another. McKenzie will surely be on the bench at one stage too. They are very fortunate that they can effectively rotate players without it causing too much disharmony. Compared to us, who seems to...

Crazy to cut McKenzie. Would be the perfect bench player who can cover almost any position in the backline.

I think a halfback will be dropped. Most likely Frisby. No point in having 3 in the squad. Maybe the same for Hooker too.

That's what I thought, the 30 man "official" squad is basically just who flies out to the games overseas. Maybe has something to do with match payments too.

If your referring to Mumm, Skelton and Horne then no. Cry as much as you like ;)

So 6 still need to be cut. Are they allowed to drop players in and out whenever they like or is it like a RWC when they can only swap a player permanently because they are injured?

Agreed. But I think Timani has benefited from Palu retiring and the fact he mostly plays 6 and 8. I think he's probably seen more as a back-rower then a lock. Look at how many locks are already in the team.

So the law is that a player only has to sign with the ARU and not a super xv franchise? So he can play club rugby if no super xv team signs him (unlikely but you never know) and still play wallabies?

I'm not sure their is a point to having 3 Hookers and 3 Halfbacks for a comp that is half played mostly domestically. I would have liked to see Ready get the nod over Hanson with the eye on getting him to first choice by next RWC. Mumm and Skelton are lucky to make the squad once again, I...

Absolutely. I'm a Brumbies fan and I even agree that both Lilo and Carter don't deserve to be in the team.
