Wallabies played very positive rugby. These losses are part of a bigger plan. I enjoyed the game despite the score. I'm backing them, don't write them off yet.

lots of problems in camp wallaby.
we clearly dont have the cattle up front, especially at scrum time
great player he has been/is, Genia is a significant part of the problem. his option taking has consistently been poor since the first lions test, and i do understand he is playing behind a beaten pack, but he is choosing the wrong way to go too often.
not many wobs earned their pay today
long term project for link

Rugby has been nominated as the sport of the Chinese Army. There are about 1 million of them. Some of that 1 million players must be 1/2 decent. May not be a bad idea to outsource the Wobs.

Positives are Slipper is impressive, Cooper played well, O'Connor solid on the wing, Lilo has a good boot and is solid all around.
But other than that, we played badly against an opposition that played well. I think the forward pack needs to be mixed up - Mowen is clearly our lineout general and I think we need him at 6. His effectiveness at 8 is non-existent, while at 6 he is great. Simmons was okay and I think he deserves to stay at lock. Moore needs a break, Douglas wasn't up to it, Hooper has been noticeable at each breakdown but not super effective. Fardy most certainly deserves to stay.
Genia needs a rest, maybe being dropped will do to him what it did to Robinson at the start of the Super Rugby season and that is nothing but good for Australia. Cooper deserves to stay at 10 for a while, unlucky for To'omua but Cooper was solid. I think O'Connor deserves his wing but Cummins was really bad. Folau defends the wing like a wild dog and we should leave him there. We need the boot at fullback, and like it or not Mogg is the answer to that. Lealiifano is really our most consistent back and should stay. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) may need to be dropped for the same reason as Genia, but I don't think Kuridrani is up to it, maybe Rob Horne?
Next week, my lineup would be (callups in bold):
Slipper, Fainga'a, Kepu, Slipper, Fardy, Mowen (c), Gill, McCalman, White, Cooper, O'Connor, Lealiifano, Horne, Folau, Mogg
Moore, Robinson, Ryan, Timani, Hooper, Genia, To'omua, Ashley-Cooper
(Yes, I want MORE Waratahs in the Wallabies, who would have thought?)
(EDIT: Horwill left out just to be safe, want him to be okay for our overseas games)
I want Moore, Genia and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to get some hunger back. I want reserve forwards who rip into the opposition with the intent to win this week and start the next. I want To'omua to come on with 20 to go and lead a backline around that can secure a win if we're behind or shut down the opposition if we're ahead. I want a forward pack that is effective in the set piece and in the loose.
And I want the Wallabies to deserve to at least deserve to win the damn game!
