Ok, no one could have predicted Lealifano's injury, but doesn't what happened from there on again highlight Deans' inept selections??? Barnes - undercooked, injury prone, shithouse general play kicker. Should have been bench role at most. Ioane - undercooked, back from injury too soon. Cummins...

FFS get him back into rehab tonight... With John Muggleton (defense) and Darryl Halligan (kicking) coaches on hand.

Reckon this will mean Dingo will go for: Genia, O'Connor Barnes AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Cummins Folau (Ioane if fit) Beale With Phipps, McCabe and Lealifano on the bench With the flawed squad selected, I'd prefer Lealifano at 12 and Barnes at 15.

In 01 the song belted around Sydney Olympic Stadium that really got up the Pom/Taff/Paddy/Sweatie noses was 'I'd rather be a Paki than a Pom', but its not kosher anymore. We need a new non racist chant to get up the Poms noses.

Even McKenzie's Wallaby side to crush England at Twickenham will be: Robinson Moore Palmer Horwill Simmons Mowen Gill Pocock Genia Cooper Lealifano Tapuai Speight Folau Mogg Bench Slipper Holmes Hanson Pyle Hooper White To'omua Tomane

Fuck me this selection process is making the Australia Cricket selectors look competent. I have lost all confidence in Deans. I'm writing off the Lions series and hoping someone in the ARU has the sense to appoint Link or Jake White prior to the RC.

Whilst I would love to see Lealifano finally given an opportunity at 12, I don't agree with the blog and forum trend over the past month to write off Tapuai. OK, he needed a break but in the first 2 months of the season he was the form 12 and one of the form players in Super XV. He had one...

Sleight showed impressive toe (and a decent fend on Gear) last weekend.

Nail head firmly struck Gnostic.

The IRB wouldn't care if Australia selected a player not contracted to an Australian club - plenty of other nations select players not locally contracted, so then the contractual issue becomes simply one for ARU numbnuts to resolve against their internal 'rules'. If George wants to play, it'll...

<Quote>I know I'm flogging a dead horse here but the continual inclusion of George Smith in peoples teams is pointless due to his current ineligibility.<\quote> FFS the dead horse being flogged is that George is somehow ineligible. He's eligible to play for the Wallabies during the IRB June...

Wobbly's pecking order: 15. Mogg Beale McCabe 14. o'Connor Tomane Shipperley 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) Fainga'a Inman 12. Tapuai Lealifano Barnes 11. Ioane Cummins Mafi 10. Cooper To'omua 9. Genia White 8. Palu Higgenbotham 7. Smith Gill Hooper 6. Mowen Auelua Kimlin 5. McMenimen Simmons Carter 4. Horwill Douglas...

And for my second whinge of the day... No wonder we're pushing shit up a hill trying to dominate world cricket or rugby in this country. CA has fucked over our chances in successive Ashes, India, against SA - due to consistently fucking up the schedule and not allowing our test team the...

<quote>(Btw, the manner by which this whole 'logistics camp' story has leaked out without a clear, clean media announcement and explanation is quite negligent and predictably incompetent. It was a huge invitation for wild media speculation, gossip and negativity vs players not included all of a...

<Quote>The Jake White scholarship will be made up of: A fully funded full-time university degree for up to three years; A reimbursement of $1500 for relocating; Subsidised campus accomodation with a total of up to $5000 a year; and Internship opportunities with the Brumbies.<\quote> Ought to...

I'm interstate so won't get to see full ame til Wednesday, but just watched th highlights online. I reckon Bobby Dwyer can insert clip of lead up to the Tommua try in every article he writes this year, and update his training manual whilst he's at it. Won't be too many better examples on what...

It's going to be interesting to see where Jake White puts McCabe and therefore what his 13 pecking order is. Andrew Smith is reportedly injured, but deserves his spot on form IMO. There's some debate on whether Tomane or Speight moved to 13 when he went off. I saw Tomane there mostly and I think...

Because I can't select any other 13 at present! AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) was my nominal OC, but his form has been atrocious. If Inman continues his form, continues to run holes, get the ball away, make dominant tackles like he's been doing I reckon he's worth a shot. I've always been a fan of selecting key...

Yes but hoping Kepu will get a kick in the pants as I really on't want to see Alexander or Slipper used as a starting Tight head against the Lions. I was impressed by the Brumbies scrum yet again against the Tahs scrum, as they were against the Reds, so that Front row has to start for the...

My form team from the Aus conference thus far: 1. Alexander 2. Moore 3. Palmer 4. Fardy 5. Pyle 6. Quirk 7. Gill 8. Mowen 9. White 10. To'omua 11. Speight 12. Tapuai 13. Inman 14. Rathbone 15. Mogg With Kimlin the first picked on the bench. This translates in my thinking to a possible Wallaby...
