Most likely going to miss the June internationals.

Fuck.

There is a very real danger we will lose this series now.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Oh dear. Trouble now!

 

[Braveheart81]

Cooper or Barnes at 10?

 

[RedsHappy]

BB now the 10? IMO, it'll be bad for all parties to rush QC (Quade Cooper) in at 10 for these Tests, maybe off the bench and assess that performance before he gets more time?

 

[Braveheart81]

I agree.

Barnes should be the 10 now.

At least we know from experience that he is a better test player than he is a Super Rugby player.

 

[RedsHappy]

Oddly, Harris at 10 and BB 12 may not be a totally out of the question...(which imperfect scenario is the least imperfect is my thought pattern..)

 

[vidiot]

Bernard Foley is a smokie for a bench spot now in one of the games.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Who to play fullback is my big question. I think Barnes will play at 10 and Cooper off the bench to start with.

 

[daz]

BB at 12.

Cooper at 10.

RD, please do not put BB at 10. I beg you.

 

[RedsHappy]

Just an indirect btw: I don't think Diggers is anywhere near his best at this time, new 11, 14, 15 combos may well be worth considering, especially in the (presumably) lower risk Scotland game.

Uhh this means AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 15 doesn't it...

 

[RedsHappy]

BB at 12.

Cooper at 10.

RD, please do not put BB at 10. I beg you.

daz, as much as I like him, QC (Quade Cooper) right now is making plenty of faulty plays, and some silly stuff too that implies to me that he's trying too hard, too quick for the glory days to return...

I was trying to remember who played there last time and it was him from memory. I was kind of hoping AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would return to 13, but that won't happen now.

Fox sports new reporting he gas been ruled out.

He made a few mistakes in his second game back, bit early to be judging his performances woth that much critique. I've seen many players return from injury with way worse performances.

Barnes at 10? Yeah sure, how has the Waratahs backline been functioning this year?

Surely there is someone else..anyone...anyone.

 

[RedsHappy]

What about, for Scotland: BB 10: McC 12: AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 13: DI 11: Tomane/Shipps 14: LM 15

There are going to be significant risk-reward trade offs in any of these scenarios.

Agree the timing is not ideal, but for all his faults QC (Quade Cooper) is a proven matchwinner at 10. BB on the other hand, is a terrible 10 but a fantastic 12, especially at test level.

Fark, Wales must be loving this.

I hope they bring Nick Cummins into the squad though.

I doubt anyone will be called in with the squad to be trimmed to 30 anyway
