I'll be very pleasantly surprised if Giteau has a blinder. The man I have hopes for today is Rob Horne. I think he'll show more confidence this time out, with some runs under his belt and Barnes... erm... inside him.

Actually, the predictions are split 5050 at this point.

Wallabies 28-22

Phonophobe, shurely?

What rugby might tht be, Epi? Might it be the last time Barnes and Horne lined up against Nonu and Smith? Now that was just a few months ago. And I'd be guessing #1 Tah did watch it, and maybe you didn't. Howdya think it finished up?

Prince David likes his Burger regularly turned.

Prince David bears arms beside the scarred old knight, Sir Rocky of Elsom, who once fought in the fabled Blarney Lands, but returned a broken man.

Muttonbird, if you tell them farva sent you, they may ask you to stay.

No, in the "other place" when I said 6 I was fishing... erm, lying. :fishing Also Wales last year, according to the ARU website! So we are up to 5?

My take on the Giteau positioning: 1: Barnes and Horne are an established centre pairing. They decisively bettered this very AB pairing during the S14. 2: Barnes was 12 in our best backline performance this year. 3: people are wondering why Horne has had so little impact. One reason is...

Well, I seem to be a chorus of one here. Barnes is an excellent player, with one flaw. I blame J Connolly. He kicks. And kicks. Apart from that, his long pass and his timing are superb. And his defence is world class. I would not be worried about Barnes at 10, as long as he is constrained...

That's quite harsh. Barnes is a talented 10.

To help me settle an imminent argument on another forum (a rough place, you know where it is)... Can anyone tell me how many official MOTM awards David Pocock has won in tests?

It needs to be gouged out, speared into the turf of history, with a sly forearm to the throat, and off the ball. We should give the job to the Saffas. The Kiwis would merely go off their feet and lie all over it.

Singing about stealing their sheep is exactly what we should be doing. Hit 'em where it hurts.

3 - Pocock (is he ever not MOTM?) 2 - Sharpe 1 - Mumm

There can only be a citing if the citing commissioner believes the officials were wrong, and it was a red card offence.

I think anyone who bites is a fucking idiot.

An intelligent and timely contribution as always, Lee. There always seems to be a chorus of people shouting 'the coach is insane' for not selecting precisely the squad they would have, when really they are talkiing about one or two positions. Meh. We have plenty of good players on the field...

Bullshit. To say that none of Robinson, Moore, TPN, Elsom, Pocock, Genia, Cooper, Giteau, Ioane, Mitchell or AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would make an ABs side is dreary pessimism of the worst sort.
