Maybe To'omua?

Genia has to earn his spot for sure. I think he'll do it sooner rather than later.

Genia is back with the squad and will be back in the 23 as soon as he gets match fitness I would think. He is easily the best all round halfback and hopefully comes into good form soon. Phipps is an excellent bench option who is able to inject real energy and speed into the side when he comes...

All the forwards should make a lot of tackles, particularly those who stay around the fringes for most of the game. What about carries, running metres, off loads and active involvements at the breakdown.Turnovers/handling errors? Every different site gives a different set of stats. Cliffy makes...

3. Kuridrani 2. Slipper 1. Horne HM Folau, Fardy, To'omua & Higgers

We got done again in the tight. Simmons was just woeful giving away some costly penalties and not carrying his core set piece duties well. Carter was anonymous. Palu was once again unable to contribute much in a fast paced game. Slipper is class but is in danger of being over used. Cowan did...

Great opportunity for him. What happened to Albert Anae? Everyone pretty quiet before this one, except the Saffas of course. Should be good.

This is good. Explains the double contract business and Mitchell and Giteau are tough critics. http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby/james-oconnor-has-matured-and-will-make-a-fine-return-to-aussie-rugby-drew-mitchell-says/story-fndptke0-1227049254022

He really should have been played at 12 and left there. Could have been the next Tim Horan with the added bonus of a decent kicking game. Hope he comes back in the right frame of mind. If so he can add a lot to the Wallaby RWC assault.

Should be an excellent test with both sides under pressure. Clancy reffing? The scrums will be interesting. Both sides will be looking to assert themselves early and set the tone for the ref. Wallabies wil play fast multi-phase if the weather permits. Boks will look to dominate at the breakdown...

Speight Cooper Genia Pocock Moore Speight is a bit of a stretch but add TPN as our bench hooker and we are almost there. Tomane? Probably not but might start ahead of Horne.

The Hodgson selection is a little odd seeing that we know Hooper will surely play out the 80 unless injured. I would have thought McCalman or Jones would have been a better bet. I guess we really are scraping the bottom of the barrel with this squad. If Big Mac's still injured then Jones or...

Looks like he's still playing silly buggers. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/confusion-over-james-oconnors-plans-despite-queensland-reds-deal-20140902-10bipq.html Not a good sign.

I watched the first half that Skelton played and the half Kev played on the weekend earlier today. Horwill was pretty busy. He made a of of tackles, moved a lot of people at the breakdown and made some yards up the middle. He looks in pretty good nick. Skelton didn't do himself any favours. He...

There is no way Link could move Folau to accommodate Beale. That would really smell bad.

If Carter gets the nod and keeps his upright style the Boks will be all over him. Hope Kev or Skelton get a start alongside Simmons. Seeing that Horwill only played 40 minutes on the weekend it would more likely be him. Both Fardy and Palu need big games to retain their places.

No love for Jackpot?

Pau has trouble when the pace of the game picks up. Obviously his tackle stats show he was busy last week but he was completely nullified in attack, as he always is against the ABs. Fardy has been one of our best and should be retained at 6. You all know what I think(about 8) so I will not write...

I think there is a big case for starting Skelton against the Boks and the Pumas.Both will play a forward oriented game and try and overpower our forwards who they perceive as soft. Skelton will give us a very strong counter-maul, some go forward in close and some beef at the breakdown. Kev to...

That would be Higgers
