Fair call. But please NO MCMAHON! ;)

Yes it would. But it certainly isn't unlikely he would be picked. Apparently To'omua has been training the last 3 weeks with the squad.

All true USARugger, but if your only going to pick one of Kerevi or Kuridrani to bring in To'omua / Lilo at 12 then you'd imagine Kerevi could and would be picked at 13 on form.

Your right. They are likely to defend even better given they know what is coming now.

You think it was just a few handling errors and failed opportunities that led to the result then you are insane. You could use that argument against every loss in history - "if only we didn't drop that ball that time we would have won the world cup". The number of those handling errors and...

I think scrums is also an under-rated part of Carter's game.

Haha I do apologise, It's a famous quote that supports my point and enables other posters to better understand the point i am trying to make. Now is the time for change. Whether it be strategy or personal or both. Agree or disagree?

DHP did it in the first test and nearly bloody scored a try if it wasn't for a last ditch effort from Haskell (i think it was Haskell). Not sure why they would suddenly abandon it completely in the second test.

You know the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. We tried the same thing twice and failed twice. Yes we are facing a white-wash, so now is exactly the time to try something different because its pretty bloody clear that what we are...

Average like his last season at the Reds last year.

No I haven't. Please share what you have seen of Quade.

You got a lot riding on Quade there. I think he might take some time to find his mojo. I can't remember the last time QC (Quade Cooper) has played 2 games in a row without niggling injuries inbetween and I hear he has been on the bench all year in Toulon. I'm predicting the first half of the year QC (Quade Cooper) will...

The only selection I'm going to be annoyed with this Test is if McMahon is picked again. The rest have fair pro's and con's. Even re-calling Phipps & Foley. But McMahon has no previous evidence that he is capable of stepping up.

This combined with our attack not aligning to have inside runners. Horne, DHP, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Folau didn't once position themselves in an inside channel. Foley was very very poor but isn't the only one to blame. You would think Horne and Folau would be combining well with Foley given they...

I understand you find it difficult to drop Hooper. But if their is ever a time to drop him then game 3 of a dead rubber match is the time to do it. Their will be no other time that is less risky to the squad. After losing 2 in the row with the same personal and strategy, then now is the...

short-term benefit = he could very well perform better then Hooper and balance out the backrow better (depending of coarse on who else is picked). Just because it is an unknown doesn't mean their is no potential for short-term benefit. Long-term= he could be back within a year for all we...

Everyone scared about dropping Hooper, just remember the GREAT GEORGE SMITH, our best player at the time, was dropped for relatively unknown David Pocock against Wales. That turned out bloody good. Cheika can just tell Hooper he is being rested on the bench. No harm done.

Larkham is my all time favourite player. I am a die hard Brumbie fan. But I do not rate Larkham as a coach - especially not an attack coach. The attack at the Brumbies has not looked good in the last 2 years. Surprisingly it was at it's peak when Jake White was playing "Jake-ball" But if you...

I agree. He has been a solid performance but then again you got guys like Gill on the fringes who could possibly be equally good - but offer a different skillset. If a player like Gill balances out the back-row better then Hooper, then I can't see why it shouldn't be an option. Even the best...

Over-reaction. Foley's performances prior to England were just as bad. Don't you remember his poor Rugby Championship effort. Cooper wasn't dropped or discarded. He was given his shot he just didn't rise to the performance Cheika wanted so he went with a different option. Foley was...
