The Wannabes team to play the USA should be Kepu, Faingu, Ma'afu, Sharpe, Vickerman, Higgonbottom, Pocock, Palu, Burgess, Barnes, Mitchell, Ashly-Cooper, O'Connor, Beale. Give Burgess a go at 1/5 or James O'Connor. Chance to rest some players. Its time to show wat the Wannabes can do! This is a perfect opportunity for Barnes/O'Connor to be the backline general and spur on the backline with some accuracy in attack. The forwards need to step up big time and dominate the lineouts, scrums and at the breakdown! The Wannabes need cool heads, leadership, make good decisions, play accurate and ruthlees. Give to them !!

Jumpers, you do realise you have selected only 14 players right...

If calling us the highly original "wannabies" didn't put him on the back foot suggesting Burgess has a go at 10 lost any credibility he had left.

Quade has been - not poor but average - this test season. Sure he was decent against the blacks, but he wasn't the one that won us the game. I think we are all agreed that some of his decision making has been below ordinary at times - his kick-returns, pushing passes and general game management.

I'd be keen to see O'Connor have a go at 10 against the USA.

Barnes is the obvious back up atm, but JOC (James O'Connor) seems much more effective when he comes of his wing closer to the action and he did well for the force. Sure he ain't a bad winger, but when Ioane comes back I would like to squeeze him and Mitchell into the team.

Also give Sharpie a go. He would have been much more useful coming of the bench against the Irish.

And don't get stuck in no man's land with your 7s. Either pick a world class scavenger or a world class 6 like the Saffers. Please don't pick McCalman, who I like, but really doesn't have the required ability for any position at test level.

McCalman at 7 is a sad refelection of the squad

Phipps should fall on his sword and Hodgson or that bloke from QLD should be on a plane to the RWC

No point having a useless 3rd string halfback when we have no back up 7

Now that rabbit has done a hammy I'd swap him with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and move McCabe to 13. Bench to stay the same, Horne to replace McCabe at 50

I hope this doesn't mean Fainga'a gets another go at 13. Time to see Horne there, especially if AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has to play on the wing now.

Three 13in the squad and the bloke you want to start is the one who has never played there.
