I would have overlooked this humourous attempt except the fact that you state this is your "Honest" opinion.
I have been a critic of Nick over the years for his fumble hands and poor positioning, but we have a young man who has worked hard to get into the Wallabies and has shown nothing but excitement and desire to do his province and his country proud.
Happy to be proven wrong, but apart from a dangerous tackle charge in 2010 (2 match ban), as far as I know he is a cleanskin and has an excellent profile on and off the field in Perth.
Apart from saying he is a potential biter, (I have got a dick, so does that make me a potential rapist?), why on earth would you think he is destined to be a 1 cap Wallaby?
Yes, so I am grumpy and over-reacting. Situation normal.
I hope Cummins has a good test.
Shipperley has varied between good and decent. He knows his role well, goes looking for work but so far hasn't really provided any penetration. He certainly deserves more test action.
Clearly we are currently decimated by injuries. Getting a few more players capped is good though.
Hopefully by June next year we will have more healthy players and some real competition for back spots.
It would be great if next year we have Ioane, Shipperley, Mitchell, Turner, Tomane, Cummins, Speight, Vuna all realistically competing for a spot on the wing.
We need to get back to a situation where there are plenty of players unlucky to miss out rather than trying to find a good option who is healthy.

will Cummo decide to shave his head, like a lot of players in recent times (the Schmoo), to mark his promotion into the Wallaby side......will he then be known as the bald badger? Would we like to see a bald badger?........hhhhmmmmm so many places to go with this

Got to ask the question, but why is Barnes out with the All Blacks in South Africa?

He's been stuck in South Africa for a week with a punctured lung prior to being allowed to fly back to Australia.
I think it's pretty good that he's going out for dinner with some All Blacks.
There's no reason why these guys can't be friends off the field.

I'm not a fan of it, to be honest especially with a game against them in a couple of weeks. I didn't like Beale & Ioane laughing about after that second test spanking either. It's a poor look.
I also didn't like the laughing and chatting on the field immediately after the test but I think it is a world away from a midweek dinner involving an injured player who is stuck in a foreign country by himself and who will play no part in the upcoming test.

Yeah I dunno, If I had have my pants pulled down as many times as Barnes has against the ABs I wouldn't really be interested in getting all that chummy.

On your approach anyone who doesn't do "something special" (whatever that means) should be dropped in favour of someone who's capacity to do "something special" (or even hold his own) at this level is completely unknown: you must be a Wallabies selector with that logic.

Daz, Daz, Daz, mate, you've gota stop drinking that battery acid, it's making you bitter!
Highlighted script:
1. IMHO = "In my humble opinion".
2. "Apart from saying he's a potential biter": I didn't give him the name "Honey Badger". To be honest, I initially didn't know who posters were referring to, and I know bugger-all about him (had to look up his profile to see which S15 team he played for)!!!
Read more thoroughly my text re the race horse.
3. Read my comment re James Graham.
4. "I am grumpy and over-reacting": No, I don't think you're grumpy, yes I think you are over-reacting!
I hope Nick has a blinder, and I assure you, I'm not harbouring negative thoughts for him or any of the 22 players, (unlike others on this thread). I think we have the best team we could have delivered under the circumstances, and I think not only will they win, but we (the true rugby supporters) will be very proud of them post-match!
You know it makes sense, I'm Mr Doug.

That is the gayest thing I have ever seen. This is the reason Australian rugby is getting belted. They are all as soft as sh1te

Exactly. Fringe players don't deserve retention - they earn it. Cumins gets a shot - correct play.
