I just hope they keep Izzy at 15 so he can keep catching every kick that comes his way.

Feel a bit reluctant to say this considering what happened last time but..... it's only Scotland.

Christian certainly has a lot of potential. However he hasn't hit his gear in the 12 position like he did when he played 10 for the Brumbies. Also I hate to say this but I think his defence is overrated. But the potential is certainly there. Godwin or JOC (James O'Connor) are probably the only other...

Maybe Cooper wasn't seen as a genuine kicking option until recently. I know I didn't. But even so, Mike Harris is lucky to be there even if it is only for his kicking.

In case you have forgotten Pocock was good enough to put the great G.Smith on the bench. He was classified as our starting open-side and Smith wasn't exactly in bad form either, in fact Smith was our most effective and consistent performer at the time. I remember thinking how the hell can they...

Gezz its a tough one. Folou should stay at Fullback. Its really a shame both Beale and Falou are in the same Super XV team too.

TOCC you beat me too it haha. So who's the wingers now? CFS will be 13. Is Betham in the country?

Maybe the players who were outside if the 23 thought it was okay to drink since they weren't part of the starting team. Unfortunately that dragged a few of the starting players along with them.

Pocock has come closer to outplaying McCaw then Hooper ever has. I never once said Hooper does not deserve to be picked over Gill. He 100% deserves a spot in the current wallabies but when comparing Hooper and Pocock then it's an easy decision IMO. When comparing McCaw and Pocock - well then I...

@trainwithoutastation. Your kidding yourself mate. If you want to rate the effectiveness of a player compared to another I would choose Pocock. You say his skills aren't needed but your wrong. He has continuously made key plays to change to outcome of matches. I can recall so many try...

Well said Tip. Agree 100% with the above. Not that I like knocking Hooper - he is a very good player but not on Pococks level as a test 7.

Digby might be back come 2015 as well.

I agree to an extent that Super Rugby is not going to be the best measure of the 3 opensides. However it is our only gauge before the Test season starts. I actually think Hooper is a better Super Rugby player then Pocock - because it is less physical then test level and Hooper is much more...

Pocock over Hooper. Easy decision IMO. Pocock is strong, physical and dominate. Exactly what we need against the ABS and SA. Hooper is mobile and energetic - which always gets him noticed on camera but his effectiveness at the breakdown is over-rated IMO. Also i have always thought Pocock...

Haha well he definitely deserves a shot in gold. I'd be mighterly pissed if his eligibility is delayed any further.

With Henry-Spreight coming into the equation I'm not so sure JOC (James O'Connor) would walk into a wing position. Both Digby and Falou I feel would be picked ahead of him. That leaves one wing/fullback position left, Which could either go to Henry-Spreight, Mogg, or a fit Beale. The theirs still Cummins...

Are you reffering to Alexander or Kepu Brumbieman?

fingers crossed Kepu performs well enough to have Alexander "rested" for the rest of the tour.

Firstly, well said Brumbieman 100% agree. My thought exactly. The point i was trying to make with Pat McCabe is that if he was slotted into 12 it would mean changing our whole back-line structure/game plan. We go from playing 2 playmakers at 10,12 to having one playmaker and a direct runner...

Back-line to remain unchanged for the tour - unless injury or resting a player.
