Also. Barnes minus 3 points

3. Timani - before this test i thought he didnt deserve to be a test player, he proved me very wrong. 2. Hooper 1. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

I think we need an updated injury list to help settle some selections: Injured: Horwill Palu McCabe Tomane Tapaui (?) JOC (James O'Connor) Lealifano Palmer Returning from injury (only considered for bench) Mitchell Cooper (?) Turner (?) Fully fit not in squad: Simmons Douglas Mowen Alexander (?) Some-one...

On a good note. Slipper is on the bench instead of Alexander. Good news. Timani? We are screwed. Nic Phipps? Some-one please tell me Nic White is injured.

Against the darkness. Yes.

With that back-line one thing is for certain... we wont be scoring many tries

Nah a McCabe/Tapaui centre pairing for the long term. I actually think keeping McCabe at 12 and Tapuai at 13 would be nicely balanced.

No McCabe is a big blow, especially with SBW in for the first 2 test. Thought McCabe would have been the best for the job to shut him down. Barnes for 12, Cooper for 10!

Winger we have depth, Mitchell, Ioane, JOC (James O'Connor) all world-class wingers. Tomane, Spreight, Shipperly on the rise also. Centre I have to completely disagree. In terms of Test-match quality we arguably have only 1 or 2 or possibly none. I would say McCabe has developed into a solid test-match...

Read above. Hooper is already signed with the Tahs next year.

Rathbone is making a return?

With Palu, McCalman injured, and Mowen dropped, I would have thought the next in line would be Fotu. He looks like some-one who could make an impact at international level, yes its a bit early but given the current injury status of our number 8's then why not? Samo is not up to it and Fotu is...

You mean its a worry for C. Fainga since Hooper is off to the Tahs. At first i thought this would be a bad thing for Colby, but then I realised Colby is still developing, and what he lacks most in his game is some decent fetching skill, who better to learn off then the master Pocock. So in the...

First off, what great news as a Brumbies fan to hear the best open-side in the world moving to Canberra, awesome news! I agree Mowen should remain captain, at least for next year until Pocock can get properly settled. After a year (I'd prefer 2 years) they can re-think there captaincy. Mowen...

I can definitely see how the back end of the season can have more bearing on games, I accept that point of the arguement. This point is great support in the Genia Vs White debate. However I cannot see how Cooper can be seen above Lealifano, Cooper played maybe one and half games? or 2 and half...

First thought was Timmy Horan, but Pocock does put up a good fight! Have no idea about cricket. Soccer Id give it to Timmy Cahill Vs Japan, Neil was a standout but Timmy won us the game.

This is all about picking the best players on form, not the wallabies squad. Balance should not be considered. Cooper only played 1 games and should not be considered for "best team of the season". Different story if we are picking a wallabies squad. Lealifano was the number one 10 without a...

Good point. But Genia's final game was pretty poor. which means at most he had 6 good games. Its a close call with Nic White but I guess it doesnt have too much bearing, Genia should and will be the wallabies 9.

Back then when he scored those tries, I was convinced he was the best choice at 13 for the wallabies and possibly the next Mortlock. I probably would only consider him for wing/fullback cover, he just never passes, even when he has outside options he always runs himself, and his runs are...

First names that come to mind: Lealifano, White, Hooper/Gill, Dennis, Higgers, Moore, Spreight. Thought Nic White had a better overall season then Genia (from Super XV), up until about round 8 Genia was very poor and Nic White hadnt had a bad game, in fact I think he only had 1 maybe 2 bad...
