No real surprises with Pocock the only Aussie represented......... Men's 15s Team of the Decade: Tendai Mtawarira (RSA), Bismarck du Plessis (RSA), Owen Franks (NZL), Brodie Retallick (NZL), Sam Whitelock (NZL), David Pocock (AUS), Richie McCaw (NZL), Sergio Parisse (ITA), Conor Murray (IRE)...

Hopefully this Nedd Hanigan can inject some more physicality than his lightweight doppelgänger.........

Also, Simmons did play well in the last two tests.

I’d say you’re both wrong........... Both of those players were great last year, Korobeite especially.......... This year Korobeite’s test form fluctuated wildly - fantastic one week, awful the next......... more of the latter. Sio has had a year to forget - if he weren’t the incumbent with a...

On par would mean that he’s performed up to that level.......... he hasn’t yet.

I’d say significantly better......... he dominated every other Aus flyhalf he came up against and was MOTM in the final. I don’t think Harrison was ever in serious consideration for a starting test spot. The kid has promise, but not in the same league as Lolesio, JOC (James O'Connor), To'omua, or maybe even...

Lolesio plays at flyhalf, and has already proven better at a higher level.......... I think we’ll need to see a lot of improvement from Harrison before there’s any talk of test rugby.

Eh?

I’m willing to give Rennie a fair amount of slack due to the unusual nature of his first test season in charge, which includes the first 4/6 of this tests against the All Blacks.........

Petaia has not been good for a few tests now......... should’ve come off far earlier as I don’t recall him actually doing anything in the second half, which was an improvement from the first. If we had more tests to play I’d definitely shift Paisami to 13 (who seems to be the smarter footballer...

Sure, and U2 will be doing pre-match concerts................ It probably has something to do with O’Neills getting more involved in the Australian sporting market, and already supplying apparel for another Australian Super Rugby team.

Kicking game or no kicking game, I thought he did more than enough in the win against the AB’s to retain his spot..........

Unfortunately for DHP, like Samu, he blew his opportunity with Rennie, and to be fair it’s not the first big test he’s bottled it under the high ball.......... Banks hasn’t set the world on fire this year, but he’s been reliable. But I think Hodge has a good opportunity to become the first...

If you just want the sport channels, ditch Foxtel and get Kayo for $25 per month............

He is definitely the form 10......... having not played in over six weeks.

Don’t forget that Nine took over Fairfax some time ago, so no doubt their rugby scribes will be involved in some capacity.........

He can’t have much passion for the game then.........
