They might improve the performance slightly but they're backrowers. The backrow isn't an issue right now, could be better sure but it's the tight 5 that is incredibly weak for Australia.

They've all played in every single Test and had massive Super rugby campaigns.

That is rather obvious on second glance. :(

Moore, Mowen, Hooper, Folau, and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) all need a rest.

Closer to the Toulon Springboks than the Wallabies.

That can't be real, there's no way he cut his hair?

The top NRL players will play 24 competition matches (Origin players will miss 3 rounds). Exclude pre-season and finals as that applies individually across codes. Top rugby players will play 16 Super rugby matches but play up to 14-15 Test matches if selected for all throughout the year. NRL's...

Especially when Higginbotham, Pocock and Palu are back. That's a world class backrow.

The ARU have to take some of the blame too for their scheduling. Australia unlike NZ and SA are forced to play their best side every match.

So you thought the same about the Brumbies pack then?

Jake White would've done better. For shame ARU.

One thing that is very evident in those highlights in the work of Palu in each scrum. Yet apparently he's shit.

The Wallabies are playing England in 2014.

Not sure why you think that's a joke, he's the best lock in England at the moment. That's coming from the English press too.

Um.. this has nothing to do with the ARU. Being the hosts, the RFU are in charge of all the rights and broadcasting options.

Getting tries as a lock isn't something that should be praised highly. There's a reason the Rebels are still not a good team. Core skills should be adequate before getting meat.

I think you're reading too much into it. He's VC, it's just a title unless Mowen gets injured during the week and he plays 80 mins every game.
