I have to agree with you there Scotty, Horne was lucky to get that try. Fainga should have started over him. I'm definitely keen to see a centre pairing of Barnes and McCabe. Not sure who should be flyhalf yet, Coopers defence is just too much of a weakness now and JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale's attack is...

Id bet money that JOC (James O'Connor) will start over AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on the wing.

You are probably right, he deserves a few games to see how he goes and I truely hope he does well as he'd be the perfect attacking weopon at 12. However I do keep thinking about the Brumbies Vs Rebels game with McCabe V JOC (James O'Connor) at 12. McCabe dominated that game with his crash-balling and direct...

When JOC (James O'Connor) Shows he can successfully shutdown Nonu or SBW then he can have the 12 jersey whenever he wants. Atm our best players to do this is only Barnes and McCabe. He is quick but I have not once witnessed him use his speed. You can't fully blame the Tahs as he has had many Test...

His faults are that he finds it difficult to find the try-line and he lacks the skill to beat a man 1v1. Everything else in his game is very solid, but a winger needs to be able to score tries. He does not.

I'm very reluctent to have a short fullback. I think fullback will be JOC (James O'Connor)'s worst position, he will get exploited under the high ball too often. I still have nightmares of when Cory Jane embarressed him at fullback, easily leaping over JOC (James O'Connor) and catching a bomb targeted at the short wallaby and...

Read one of Matt Burkes articles on SMH, he mentioned stopping the clock during penatly kicks and converstions. Although i am not a fan of Burkes bias journalism I do agree with this idea. He mention actual playing time is only something like 30minutes (due to all the stoppages). So stop the...

I also noticed AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) giving up very early on the chase that led to the welsh's 2nd try. He could have kept sprinting and it would have been a close contest for the grounding, but he just gave up very very early and let Simmons chase by himself, he must have thought Simmons had it covered which is...

Surely Moore and Fainga will get more game time this time. It would also be nice to see Nic White get his first cap but then again its hard to sub Genia when he's on fire.

Add in 2 "Reserve Players": A Hooker and a Front Rower. These players are the same as subs but can ONLY be subed for injuries. I dont like the idea of too many Subs. I like the idea of players who work hard on there fitness having an advantage in the last 20minutes to the less fitter players...

I would make it illegal for props to have skin tight fitted jerseys.

Fainga for Horne. Moore for TPN. If Kepu is out bring on Palmer.

Wow NZ are superb. We got some work to do if we want to be on the same level. Great stuff All Blacks.

And leave us with Barnes at 10. I dont think even Deans is that stupid.

VUNA! NO! I can can also see him being a liabilty at Test level, if u can score a try from nothing it gets cancelled out if u let a try in from nothing. Plus with Digby and ACC i think Morahan or Shipperly would make a much more balanced back 3. (AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Digby can kick for shit)

Not sure that is the best point to back up you arguement. A 3rd place play-off game he plays well, this is a somewhat meaningless game with a signifcant drop in pressure from all other RWC games, and he was also playing at 12. He is not the prime decision maker. IMO he is a great 12 at test...

JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 with Barnes at 12 makes a MASSIVE difference to Barnes at 10 with McCabe at 12. Don't think we will be scoring as many tries this time round.
