Hedged your bets and still off the markThat is a very good analysis of Gorden there.
Gordan has not been good at putting up contestable kicks with the rebels in and his kicking for touch isn't the best either.

I’d take their hooker (not very good either) over our extremely underwhelming choices. Their TH is a premiership, 6N and Heineken Cup winner, against a LH doing an admirable job at TH. Adam Beard is a better player than both Arnold and Frost. Rowlands is a solid Lock as well. Honestly only Bell is a better option than the other front 5 guys.Give me our tight 5 over theirs every day and twice on Sunday
Nic White on the bench seems a weird move tbh. I can't think of a single end game scenario where kicking the ball to the opposition so that they score points will benefit us.Good to have Tate & Pone back:
- I like Leota at 6 and Hooper at 7, would have Gleeson on the bench for more versatility
- Would also prefer Fines over White
- Makes sense not to throw Pone back straight away

No, both are injured and will not play this weekend.
You have tried your best Qwerty but Jones disagrees. I for one, want to see him start to see if there is anything to him I have missed.I thought McReight was playing very well!???????
But seriously, put Gleeson in.
I am sure we will see it against Portugal. He had that big hit against Wales last year but did not do much in the game after that. Valetini is much busier and effective. Hooper too and is a lineout option.You have tried your best Qwerty but Jones disagrees. I for one, want to see him start to see if there is anything to him I have missed.
Porecki has really grown on me this season, your really under rating himI feelI’d take their hooker (not very good either) over our extremely underwhelming choices.

Our choices certainly aren’t going to be winning scrum penalties. They aren’t going to be bashing them with the ball. Etc. I just don’t see where the advantage is.
We have to dominate an area of the game to win, I’m just not seeing this front 5 being able to dominate at anything to give us an advantage. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Yeh but if Aus play to their potential they win by a fair bit. Good chance they don't thoThey’re not wrong though. I mean they’re shit too it’s no guarantee but we’re undeniably shit with how we’re coached and not putting our best side out there.
5am, barely an early wakeWho's waking up early for it over east ?
In WA it's on at 215.
Dru, If our forwards turn up it's all over for the Welsh and if not - it's a total unknownI'd take our back line too.
BUT. Put it together and let's see what turns up. (Talk about losing faith in the Wallabies.)
I reckon our boys will be fired up. They'd better be, or else they can all piss off.Dru, If our forwards turn up it's all over for the Welsh and if not - it's a total unknown
I'm still not convinced on Leota, size aside. He's not as sharp or consistent technically as I'd like.Porecki has really grown on me this season, your really under rating himI feel
Thomas Francis has always looked average at best to me, especially at scrum time. Adam Beard is really out of form and in no way is better than Frost
Adding Leota gives a big pack, and out lineout should be able to cause them issues with Frost, Hooper and Arnold
This is the same Welsh team that the Boks just put 50 on, that England beat with 13 men, that both Georgia beat less than a year ago. If we can’t beat these losers than I worry about our future
Agreed, BPA coming back home soon at leastI'm not sold on Perecki. He's there primarily because he is more consistent with his throwing at the lineout. In general play, he does not win collisions, often misses tackles and is nearing the status of penalty magnet. I reckon, in general play, Faessler has it over him, but Porecki's lineout work will continue to see him selected until a more rounded hooker comes through the ranks.
