The heart rate sure got high with 15mins to go but the resilience, determination and attitude got the boys through. Thought the 3 back rowers were huge tonight. They are working so well as a unit and McCalman fills in where he is needed. Izzy was definitely not right tonight. I'm one of his...

To'omua going off was the first blow for us. I really like Horne I think his defence is absolute class (he saved a certain try when he first came on) however his attacking process is to run first and look to past second, which is not the current Wallaby style. When Phipps got the Yellow, we...

With a 31 man World Cup Squad (based on additional prop) you need to look at coverage. In 2011 we had Mitchell, McCabe, Horne and A Fainga'a injured and we ended up running Samo on the ding. 2003 and 2007 we only took 2 halfbacks and we would have been better to take an additional back or in...

I haven't had a chance to watch the game yet, but since TRC has commenced i think we lack that punch in the centres. Dont get me wrong Lilo is playing well but i would rather see him play at 10 and have a hard running centre pairing of Horne and Kuridrani. Horne will get over the advantage...

With the probable Lions Centre combination of Roberts and Tuilagi, you would assume that Deans will revert to a more physical centre pairing. It wouldnt surprise me seeing Horne and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) line up at 12/13, with Taps on the bench. Im loving Lilo at the moment but i cant see him starting at but...

At the end of the day, Cooper is an employee of an organisation (assuming he is currently contracted with ARU, my understanding its next year he is off contract, correct me if im wrong.) Regardless of his profile, ability and twitter followers, no one-man is bigger than the game. Rugby will be...

Currently McCabe/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is our best 12/13 combo, I'm a fan of Horne however id like to see him bring back that exciting style of play he showed when he first came onto the scene. Moving forward and looking towards RWC 2015 i would be looking at a Tapuai/Horne combination. I dont see too much...

Good chance to see if the ball gets passed by the 13 any more than previous players in that position??????

I agree. People are asking for wholesale changes. If we do that the Boks and Pumas will run over us and then people will ask for wholesale changes again. To me it looked like Horne pulled up lame. When the ball was loose he put it on the toe and was very slow to chase. Either that or he was...

Obviously changes need to be made. A lot of people are being unrealistic about the changes and thinking of individuals that excel in each position and not how to get the best combination to have a balance of attack and defence. Genia - Auto selection Cooper - We need his attacking flair and...

I think a ball playing 12 and a strong defending 13 is what we need. Horne for mine is our best option at 13. I have been a fan of his since his Tahs debut season. His potential that everyone saw needs to be shown now. I think Cooper is relishing at the opportunity to make amends against the...

Everyone else is having a crack so here's my 2 cents on the back line based on injury free and looking to building combinations bash early and scoring points when the opposition are stuffed. 9. Genia, 10. Beale 11 Ioane 12 McCabe 13 Horne 14 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 15.JOC (James O'Connor) 20 Lucas (if a 5:2 split)/White (when...

Good looking line up. I liked the look of Hooper last year and when he wasn't starting from the beginning of this year i thought he must have been injured/ lost his way a bit. Mowen has also done no harm in his claims. I think Dennis will end up being on the bench as 2nd Row cover to allow...

Genia, O'Connor, Ioane and Beale are the only backline certainties. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s versatility is invaluable i think he is better utilised off the bench McCabe needs to play on the Wing because his inability to pass to his outside men is his only downfall. Love his direct, no concern for his body...

Backline for 2 game tour 9 Genia 10 Barnes 11 Ioane 12 O'Connor 13 Horne 14 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (Turner) 15 Beale (AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)) if hamstrung Cooper, JOC (James O'Connor), Horne is a very lethal midfield and can be the new Larkham, Horan, Herbert/Little!

Horne is a natural 13! He reads the game very well both in defnece and attack! Unfortunately he is under utilised in attack! I think Horne can own the 13 for the wallabies for a long time injury preventing! My backline is Genia, cooper, ioane, o'connor, horne, mitchell, beale with barnes and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...
