To the bloke who asked whether quade will defend in the front line, he will, and he will do fine. We've already expelled the "quade can't tackle" myth numerous times. Give it a break please.
And for god's sake, Ewen answered a question. He answered a similar question about Quade before Bled 1 in a similar manner saying that he was great at the reds and is always able to implement a gameplan. To'omua started, Quade didn't . He's quoting some bloody statistics, who cares? To'omua did not cement his position at flyhalf either so and they are completely different styles of 10 who are probably at the same level at the moment, all factors weighed up.
If Ewen chooses QC (Quade Cooper), I don't think it will be that much of a surprise or 'weird' decision. He's already stated that he will be changing gameplans depending on opposition and that will mean personel have to change. He will live and die by that because its a risky but possibly rewarding approach. For now I'm happy to give him a shot, we didn't beat the ABs so somethings needs to change.
