The Lions will try and dominate the Wallabies with power. Their final test selections show this. - Corbisiero will bolster the scrum and apply more pressure, something which was missed in the early stages of the second test. - Phillips for Youngs is an interesting decision (obviously looking...

Really don't understand why McCalman was picked. Not doubting his work rate or anything, but he's hardly been playing this season and not in the sort of form that has been showed by Kimlin. What I don't understand more is the choice of a 6/2 bench. Someone like Horne should have been there, so...

In my honest opinion, as stated before, I would move from this: 6. Mowen 7. Hooper 8. Palu to something like this: 6. Smith 7. Hooper 8. Mowen Palu to the bench with Gill to bring on late in the second half. The latter back row will put more pressure on the lions at breakdown time. It's...

Personally, the team i'd like to see start: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Alexander 4. Douglas 5. Horwill (c)/ Simmons 6. Smith 7. Hooper 8. Mowen 9. Genia 10. O'Connor 11. Tomane 12. Leali'ifano 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Folau 15. Beale/Mogg 16. Fainga'a 17. Slipper 18. Kepu 19. Simmons/Kimlin 20. Gill 21...

I don't think it's such a bad idea to have 6 out of the 7 backline players come from Barker. Yes, stars may have missed out, such as Goddearl and Paek, but don't forget rugby is a team sport. Barker has the best backline in the competition, and the selection of those two in CAS II is not going...

My pack for the first test would be: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Horwill 5. Simmons 6. Mowen 7. Hooper 8. Higgenbotham Higgenbotham is currently, in my opinion, one of the most in form number 8's in Super rugby. He brings that extra niggle into the side, he has great defence and his...

Yeh you're right here, however I wouldn't say that the Waratahs forwards were any better than the Brumbies. In my opinion, Mowen beat Dennis/Palu, Smith beat Hooper etc.. They were trying to close out the game to early and it backfired. The Brumbies put all sorts of pressure on both those teams...

In the near future, I personally wouldn't mind seeing Jake White be the coach of the Wallabies. He has done absolute wonders for the Brumbies since 2012. They work together every single match and it was genius move to make Mowen the captain. He has put confidence into the games of the likes of...

Barker Vs Waverley Yes Waverley are strong this season, but Barker is stronger. I think some of you guys truly underestimate Barker or are out to get them. They have let in 18 points in 3 games, 3 points of which were Knox's, who many of you tipped to take out the competition. They have scored...

In reference to the first question you asked, Mowen has 69 caps and Lealiifano 63, so they're pretty seasoned campaigners in comparison to Folau who has 12 now. It's all a different story when you play international rugby or against the Lions for this matter, but Folau hasn't played much rugby...

For the first test against the British and Irish Lions, I would field this side: 1. Robinson 2. Moore 3. Slipper 4. Horwill (c) 5. Simmons 6. Mowen 7. Hooper/Gill (either one, they're both great) 8. Higgenbotham 9. Genia 10. Barnes 11. Ioane 12. Lealiifano 13. Ashley-Cooper 14. Cummins 15...
