Crockett. Mathewson and Ranger are the three omissions I am most surprised by. Fruean will get his chance in a year or so but is still fairly raw.

3 - J Horwill - should be more than a one point difference between first and second as he was so far the best player on the park. 2 - A Fainga'a 1 - B Robinson

TC is the best defensive back in Australian Super A at the moment. Barnes is the only player that might challenge him in that area. For the Wallabies I think we need a strong defensive 13 because at Test level certain players cannot hide in defense. When the Reds play Cooper controls the attack...

Looking at his website I think he might be giving the game away to start his own boy band.

I think the choice of 13 comes down to the opposition. If we are up against England for example the perfect player in that position is Gerrard as the game will be won by defense and field position. He is probably the best field kick in Australia certainly he is the biggest boot. He can also...

QC (Quade Cooper) surely does not need a rest. He has a rest whenever the opposition have the ball.

Yes, Kepu for one.

Baxter with full on black cape and pointed hat "Master of the dark arts." Beale "My mum says my mustache makes me look really grown up and tough." TPN singing with Afro and full pimp gear "Who is the man who will risk his neck for his brother man. SHAFT, can you dig it." Mortlock "And I...

In the World Cup you cannot hide QC (Quade Cooper) in the defensive line the 12 needs to be the best defensive player available for that role. That for my mind is Barnes. Giteau's defense is stronger than JOC (James O'Connor) but Barnes is ahead of them both in this department. 9 Genia 10 Cooper 11 Ioane 12 Barnes 13 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14...

I agree particularly about Ant and Saia, Colby seems a bit more like a centre than the other two as he is a bit more explosive across the ground. I like Saia as a player but if he is forced to player as hooker in the RWC we have real problems and given TPN's and Moore's injury records this is...

I don't think mongrel is missing in Aussie Rugby at all but we do seem to have a bit of an obsession at Super rugby level with mobile front rowers who can score tries. Personally, I am horrified by a prop scoring a try anyway other than a 3m pounding sprint or a push-over. I want my props to be...

What about Nathan Sharpe, he looks like an Easter Island Statue.

Don't you mean it will be 20 years before QLD notice.

His combination with Fruen is frightening. I wouldn't be surprised to see both of them in the ABs squad before the RWC.

3 - Phipps - What a game! He was a general around the park and really directed play well. 2 - Delve - Has been one of their best in all of their games so far. 1 - Lipman - The difference he makes to the side is immense.

3 - Burgess, only seemed slow because there was absolutely zero clean out. 2 - Carter was the most dangerous player the Tahs had by the length of the straight. 1 - Baxter was the main reason the scrum did not get absolutely rodgered all game.

I would have Saffy, if he qualifies for a Wallaby I am not clear on this, at 6 this week as he was superb for the Rebels.

3 - Fainga'a 2 - Palmer 1 - Moore

3 - Saffy - Fabulous performance. Made good ground and his pilfering and defence were just great. 2 - Delve - Really good in defence and a great contributor to the line out. 1 - Somerville - Gave the beast an absolutely torrid time. Would have liked to have included Cips, Robinson and I...

3 Delve - The man-love is growing. 2 Gerrard 1 Saffy
