No room for Hooper??? Only player who has constantly put in all game every game.
here is a left field suggestion
Toby Smith at LH
and leave Slipper and Kepu at TH all year, S15 and test matches
Toby Smith?
Eh?
Does Toby Smith need to qualify, or is he ready to go. Dunno if he's been picked in any NZ rep teams.
Despite Hooper winning the JEM, I'd always pick Pocock over Hooper at 7. The guy is a monster at the breakdown and he has that wonderful ability to pinch something from nothing (without getting busted by the ref).
We shouldn't have beaten Wales either but it happened. Sometimes you do almost everything wrong and still win the game.Watched the EOYT game vs Italy from last year (again) that was replayed on One today. We didn't deserve to win that game, Italy missed a kick from in front with 1 minute to go to tie the game.
Hope we don't see a repeat of our performance - we had zero structure in attack, showed no patience and took the wrong option on a lot of occasions. Our accuracy at the breakdown also left a lot to be desired.
You're kidding aren't you?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
Suppose his run on pick against Wales :
Willie, Habs, Mossie, JdV, JPP, Steyn, FdP, Duanne, Flo, Alberts, Bakkies, Etsebeth, JdP, Battleship, Beast.
