I'm happy for him to take us to the RWC. He deserves that. Unless we only win say 1 or no games on this tour. Then I would say a red light would go off and something drastic will need to be done.

Fingers crossed his hamstring is good to go! We have waited too long!!!!

Didn't Beale also have an Assault charge against a family member some years ago?

McKenzie will take us to the RWC unless the EOYT is a complete failure. Curious to know who the next coach will be though, If there is a change in the next 2-3 years it would have to be between White or Chieka.

In that case To'omua for English - enough wingers as is. Palu for Shatz TPN for Man-rae Sio for Faulkner McCalman an extra.

Looks like that's our touring squad for EOYT.

Big call Braveheart.

We need to blood Goodwin at 12, depth is problem in that position and if To'omua goes down all our back-line structures crumble. Godwin would be up there to get some valuable game-time IMO.

The good. 3 wins = not bad 4 wins = pretty damn good 5 wins= fucking amazing The bad. 2 wins = not good enough 1 win = goodbye Link.

Bloody Scotland always ruining things.

I think the Lions win would have given Wales a lot of confidence. I don't see a Grand Slam Victory this tour. Scotland or Italy would have made things easier. But this is great, I'm looking forward to every game.

So Wales is not the danger team here? I though the Lions were practically all Welsh players, what happened to them?

If we had a choice it would be great to drop the "Qantas" part. But given the financial state of the ARU, its fine by me. We need all the funds we can get. Good on Qantas for sponsoring the Wallabies in the first place.

oh this thread is still here.... Positives... Let's see... Cooper, Speight & TPN will be back soon! Fuck yeah!

I don't think it does work both ways which is why I think it's a great idea. Maybe an 80minute shocker would really hurt him but not a 20 minute one. I think he can brush off a poor bench performance. Alternatively if he does well and his shoulder goes well for 20 minutes he could gain a lot out...

Having a decent 20minutes against the best team in the world could do wonders for his confidence though. Then I'd expect him to be firing come the beginning of the EOYT.

Is 2 NRC games enough? I don't think it is. Can't compare that to the speed of Test rugby. I get what your saying about if he's fit enough for bench he should be fit enough to start. I actually disagree with this, I think we should blood players returning form injury from the bench, they need...

Cooper is a confidence player, it would have adverse effects to put him in too early. I'd only put him on the bench for the last 20 minutes.

When has Palu done this? Last time I re-call he had an impact like that at Test level was probably 2009 (i think) v Wales. That was some time ago. If we are going on Super XV form, well Higgers has done that too, last year his Rebels season was superb. Lots or presumptions on Palu, yet I'm...

To be fair on Alexander his scrummaging has been strong the last couple of years, was really disappointed to see him go back to his old ways against Argentina. I think he will do a good-enough job, But I predict Sio could really do some damage come RWC time. Seems like a better option from the...
