I think Cheika and his acolytes will make two changes for the test at Dunedin; TK for Kerevi and TPN for Moore (though that is probably a bit more problematic as they might want to finish with TPN). Bearing in mind what I perceive to be weaknesses, particularly with the backrow and the...

Kuridrani?

Which is precisely why I only nominated the change involving Hodge. The rest of my post was about the weaknesses in the likely squad for the next test. Well, actually I think I did nominate McMahon to also replace Hooper, but maybe that didn't compute.

That's the whole point I think KOB. This is a public internet forum where we fans can vent about issues that rile us, analyse the weaknesses of individual players and their impacts on the team, and put forward all sorts of ideas about how to improve our Wallabies. You say you would make...

Thank you KOB for your kind words. Unfortunately, the only crap that continually gets rolled out here is the never-ending blind faith in anything light blue, and I have to say you are one of the main culprits. If you have the time and inclination, just go back and look at my thoughts and...

That, or play him at 7 where his aggression at the breakdown will have more impact on the game than running an additional back there.

I go along with your tight five BH, but there is a lot to dislike about the rest, including the bench. Timani will add a bit of much needed size and weight to the backrow, but it is still very uninspiring as a unit. You won't agree and will throw shit (metaphorically) on the idea, but The...

Very little for the Brumbies, but not sure of his involvements in the JID comp.

Sounds like Higgers to me.

That's ok. Would like to see him get more time at No 12. Looked pretty good there a couple of weeks ago.

Think I recently saw he has tie up of some sort with a Shute Shield side.

The Wallabies atm would not be significantly weakened, if at all, if neither Folau nor Genia were not playing. DHP (or Hunt) can cover No 15 at the required level, and in some respects better than Folau, and in his form of the past couple of years, a number of No 9s are emerging who will fill...

Like that idea. Either of Hyne or Kaino would fit in at 8, but of course Kaino doesn't seem to have made the squad. Probably Fakosolea if he can stay fit, or Valetini if he can get fit will fill the 8 spot.

That's a very pertinent question ACTC. The best I can do, personally, is continue to voice my opinion on sites like this, I suppose. What I will not do, however, is try to apologise for the obvious failings of the coaching staff.

This is the sort of apologist papering over of a complete failure that really irks me. After such a dire performance, and it was dire regardless of the "late comeback" that had more to do with the ABs' errors and drop in intensity than any lift by the Wallabies, every fan should be looking to...

Derpus, in what sense does it sound familiar? Can't remember the last time a young bloke was thrown into the deep end at Wallaby level, and at Super Rugby level Wessells himself is an example of that working.

And where's the evidence he is or might be doing that? At what stage does Gray have to go?

Do you mean Robbie Coleman?;):(

Coming from the best defensive side in the Aus conference, he has more than a few claims I would say.
