I think the best idea for this would be stage a game at ANZ (biggest rectangle stadium in Oceania) that has hybrid rules between Australia and New Zealand. Australia is a made up by a mixture of Kangaroo and Wallabies and the New Zealand side the All Blacks and Kiwis (league nickname??). ARU/ARL...

What a terrible decision to have him play.

Surely this isn't going to be one half of union and then half of league like the article suggests? What on earth would that achieve? It's not entertainment watching an awfully one-sided contest where a side is completely handicapped.

How can this work with a game of 2 halves? The only way is a hybrid game.

Nothing? But Betham would be ahead of him after making Wallabies. Betham is more dangerous but more error prone and I think with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) on the other wing he'd be better than Crawford. Betham running off Folau or Beale offloads = magic.

Foley's never played there, why would he? I think it's pretty clear what Cheika wants; his eagerness to re-sign Foley suggests he wants him as the 10. Already come out and said Folau will be 13 and his public backing of Beale says he'll be the 15. 9. Phipps 10. Foley 11. Betham 12. Horne 13...

He's playing 13, no high ball.

Poorly done by them. I really wonder how good their actual international rugby knowledge is. -Alex Corbisiero did not start a game for England all year. His only match for England was off the bench vs Argentina this November. He started in the 1st and 3rd Lions Tests. Maybe their criteria is...

Based only on Test performances from 2013. 1. Tendai Mtawarira (South Africa) 2. Stephen Moore (Australia) 3. Adam Jones (Wales) 4. Sam Whitelock (New Zealand) 5. Brodie Retallick (New Zealand) 6. Tom Wood (England) 7. Michael Hooper (Australia) 8. Kieran Read (c) (New Zealand) 9. Aaron Smith...

It's outside the IRB window again so the ARU are getting paid handsomely for the Test. Blame them for being so poor.

For once the player who deserved it got the award. Well done IRB, back to farcical awards next year I bet.

Michael Cheika gets it, just wait and see. It's going to be amazing.

You saw it within the first 50 seconds of the Wales match. Folau is a 13. High ball is important no doubt about it but the damage Folau can do at 13 is greater.

He gives away more penalties than Wyatt Crockett.

Loosehead seems to be a weak position in world rugby at the moment. Cian Healy would likely be his only challenger. Alex Corbisiero's knees are ruined.

Slipper is 24. By next world cup he will be 26. Odds on to be the best loosehead in the world.

He hasn't played yet.

It's the exact same draw from 2012.

Keep hearing dismissal comments about Palu due to his injury status/history. He's played more Test rugby for the Wallabies in the last 2 years than Pocock and Higginbotham.

Sorry I thought you were saying he was doing a good job for England last year, winning etc.
