2013 EOYT

[RoffsChoice]

 

[Slim 293]

I hope to see Henry Speight bamboozle defences on that right wing in Twickenham.........

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Godwin (Force) would be a good one to take on tour.

Recommend getting a start vs Italy.

 

[Swat]

The one person I'll be disappointed to see on the EOYT is Robbie Deans.

Godwin to have shoulder surgery this week wont be available for the last game against the Brumbies. Looks like about a 10-12 week rehab so might miss out on higher honors this year

 

[Richo]

Hugh Pyle, please.

So was Foley foxing about Godwin's status for the Force v B&I Lions game or not?

Sounds like he may not have been telling porkies after all.

 

[Richo]

Then why did he play on Sunday?

 

[wobbly]

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

 

[Josh Phillips]

To'omua and Godwin are my tip in regards to youngsters and surprises seletected for the tour. How times have changed, last year Quade was preety much our only decent choice at five eighth and now every super club sports a gun fly half

 

[Josh Phillips]

Ben Tapuai also deserves another shot in gold

 

[TOCC]

Mitch Inman possibly, give the backline some extra size

 

[RoffsChoice]

Assuming lack of injuries, the team for the EOYT will look like

Robinson, Moore, Alexander, Douglas, Horwill, Higgenbotham, Hooper, Palu, Genia, JOC (James O'Connor), Ioane, Lealiifano, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Cummins, Barnes.

In the Scotland and Italy games we will have an opportunity to blood some youngsters and the up-and-comers.
Eg. Sio, Hanson, Ryan, Pyle, Carter, Cottrell, Gill, Timani, White, To'omua, Morahan, Godwin, Inman, Speight, Mogg

NOTE: It is a stupid idea to just throw them all out there at once. In the Scotland/Italy games, 4-6 would be okay. In the others, 3 at most.

 

[Braveheart81]

I would have thought the ARU would have released Ioane and Barnes before the EOYT unless there are a massive amount of injuries.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Hadn't considered that......... Replace them with Tomane and Beale.

and Timani - he be gone as well

 

[RoffsChoice]

fatprop How fortunate that the locks named were Horwill and Douglas

It is a real shame losing Timani though. He makes a big impact at scrum.

he was in your "eg" part.

As for players worth a look, I think there will be quite a few opportunities for younglings, there is a rather tough schedule coming up

 

[KevinO]

6 Match tour on the back of the Lions and RC, is the ARU not asking enough of these guys this year? It will be 1 month off and than back into Pre-season training.

Think Higgers will still be in working on rebuilding that shoulder and won't be available until Soup trials next year. Bummer, want him back on the paddock as soon as possible.

Please Please Please take Pyle and give him a start in a test match.

Mitch Inman would be good to take and give him some experience at test level.
