Fardy dropped a few balls and was turned over a few times. I think his problem can be easily fixed though, he still has the much needed mongrel and work ethic it just seems a bit of discipline was off. Some of those dropped balls were due to a lack of support and/or a lack of williness/work...

It's not about bringing in new players to find a "miracle". Now it's about bloody new players to build depth and strength in positions. Now is the perfect opportunity to test fringe players abilities at Test level or giving rookies much needed Test experience.

Nah they look pretty ineffective at super rugby too.

Absolutely. I wouldn't mind seeing a few new faces. Timani, Houston, a new half-back.

Carter has a reputation for being a good scrummager. Arnold is suppose to be the next best after Douglas but he is still very fresh. Coleman could be worth a try.

Now I don't know know what his stats were. ESPN scrum or Foxsports?

Why Simmons over Carter? They both equally lack impact in the collision but Carter dominated the stats for ruck involvements. The line-out was solid all game and he didn't give away silly penalties. If your going to pick one, then I'd go Carter. But I wouldn't pick either. 4. Arnold - he's...

As bad as I think Moore is, I don't think Captaincy a major issue. However looking at your list, Douglas' name actually popped up at me. A fit Douglas is almost certainly going to be picked. He seems like a smart enough bloke, can lead by example - I like an enforcer as Captain. No-one...

Probably still do a better job than Moore ;)

I think it was more of a re-action to how bad of a captain Moore is, rather then how good Hooper would be. Poey would be my first pick. Ref's love him.

Whilst watching live I thought he was fairly invisible in the game but the stats have shown how much work he puts in. I was shocked when I saw the stats, but impressed. I'd have him in front of Simmons too. I guess he's the best of a bad bunch. Our locks lack of impact of around the park has...

You mean this one? He's not superman. Phipps was having a shocker. But you do have a point, He also had very little impact, which is probably better then negative impact (Foley) but he certainly isn't putting his hand up for selection. I'd still select them though, tactically he is just...

Matt Burke is that you?

Nah i'd be proud if my daughter chucked a dummy spit after we lost to the poms!

So whats your point? It was no achievement? Even so, it's been over 10 years on which means 10 years extra international coaching experience. I doubt if he coached the wallabies again he would completely abandon the scrum again.

Me too. We actually do have options in the backline. I'm more worried about the locks, we've already tried them all and none have done anything worthy of a recall. Backrow also an issue. Who to replace Poey is a hard one.

Like i said before it should be 9. Frisby 10. Foley 12. Lilo You got 3 kickers their instead of 1. Kerevi can play 13.

His super xv has been very average, but even Cheika stated he would have been the front-runner for the 12 jersey if he wasn't committed to seeing his baby come into the world. Kerevi's decent hit out in the first test meant he earned another shot. So he is a viable option. I wish we had...

I meant we scored more tries. The strategy certainly had it's flaw's that's for sure, but Game 1 was very winnable and looked like we would for most the match. Game 2 we never looked like winning. I agree about the rest. I call for Lilo as I'm not sure To'omua returning from injury is a...

Or Frisby at 9. He can actually kick well and I think the only player in Aus who can actually bomb. 9. Frisby 10. Foley 12. Lilo/Hodge Already that adds 2 kicking options either side of Foley.
