I agree. I'm am so shocked at this selection.

5 wingers... yeah I have lost faith in Cheika. I can't think at all what the benefit will be.

I would have even taken Horwill over Mumm... But Douglas. WOW.

WTF at no Horwill. he was best performing lock all Rugby Championship.... And Douglas is in. Cheika has some explaining to do.

Maybe he still wants to test a few players before finalising. Is he allowed to change the squad again after USA? Or is today the official deadline?

Phipps wasn't great in his start either - he was superb off the bench. I guess based on previous years you could have To'omua and Phipps in that category though.

I thought Chieka stated in his TV interview Horne and Genia were back to full fitness this week.

But did Horne cement his spot with his first start? I'd say Tomane was the better performer - but he is also the most limited player. Speight and Horne are much better defenders. It's another tricky one in my opinion. Horne could cover 12,13,14 from the bench which might get him the nod - plus...

It should be out of Horne/Speight/Tomane. I wouldn't be surprised if he left Horne.

Those 2 tackles were brilliantly timed and were great defensive reads. But don't be fooled, he got up in the opposition face before they gained any momentum. Beale is yet to make a tackle on anyone who's actually running at him. I want to see him make a front-on tackle to a a player running full...

George Smith... ;)

Lilo too probably.

Are the USA threatening at all? Could they compete with a team like Fiji or Samoa or are they just horrible?

I think it would be wise to rest Folau and start the back-up fullback - whoever that is. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell or Beale I presume.

Start first choice halves 9.10.12 so they can work on their combination. Everyone else to be chosen on the need for fitness and game time.

Cooper is probably the best kicker we have in the wallaby set-up. (Mogg the best in Aus - but no way we want him near a wallaby jersey). His chip kick early on was a good tactic and kept the defence guessing. I watch all the Brumbies games and I don't rate To'omua as a kicker. Decent clearance...

Oh look another Tahs V Reds d*ck measuring contest.... this is new and exciting. Now back to talking about actual rugby please. Anyone worried about our high ball skills? On second viewing I think the AB's can easily target anyone who isn't Falou. They targeting Cooper at the back and if...

I think that's all the errors but that's still too many for only half a game of rugby, but I think your right it is not as bad on second viewing. I think the real disappointment was Foley's game against the AB's where he went missing-in-action when we actually had good front foot ball and go...

Hard to judge which combo was the best. v SAF - 10. Cooper 12. Giteau - I'd say a fail but it was Gits' and Coopers first game back and we were dominated at the breakdown most of the match v ARG - 10. Foley 12. To'omua - To'omua played 5mins before concussion. Foley okay though. v NZ1 - 10...

I had the same concern until last match where he successfully tackled a full pace Savea front on. He's not dominate but he makes his tackles.
