Scotland v Australia, Murrayfield, 5am 24 Nov 2013

[Forcefield]

1. Hooper?

Like!

What is the worst thing that could happen? Don't answer that.

So, if AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Kuridrani are both out for the next two weeks who would you select at 13?

I would give CFS a crack. He's the next in line at 13 on tour.

If he gets the opportunity I hope he takes it with both hands. It could be quite a while before he gets his next shot.

Seems like a few might squad members might get a run

The Wallabies have sensationally stood down six players for their Test against Scotland and sanctioned a further nine for staying out late and drinking in Dublin last week.
Nick Cummins, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Benn Robinson and Liam Gill will not play at Murrayfield this weekend, while Paddy Ryan will serve his ban next week in Cardiff, because the Wallabies are required to have four props on the bench.

Big call but team rules are team rules.

I think some of the players read the title of this thread and thought was the time they could come home.

 

[Braveheart81]

Very disappointing.

Well that settles that then, looks like CFS to 13.

CFS is the most obvious choice for the game against Scotland if AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Kuridrani are injured/suspended.

PS: Fucking love it. If you want to be the best, accept nothing but the best.

Big tick for Ewen.

 

[Braveheart81]

So Dennis, Harris, Phipps, White, Foley, Douglas, Fardy, McCalman and Fainga'a were also reprimanded over the incident. Some of them will certainly have to play this weekend.

Wow! A clear message to the players that the Wallabies are under new management.

This sets the standard which must be adhered to for McKenzie's time as coach.

 

[Highlander35]

Under no illusions, you are a much better team. Hope we perform well.

In terms of attack, doesn't help us that we're missing Hogg, Visser and Scott, who've been so important over the last 18 months for us. Kinda pisses me off. Taylor should not be playing, he's completely shit.
Weir should get a starting opportunity. Kelly Brown will be back somewhere.

Hope Ford get's dropped. Not been the same since RWC, and even then he was a shadow of himself in the Lions tour.

Would like to see:

1. Dickinson
2. Lawson
3. Murray
4. Gray
5. Hamilton
6. Strokosch
7. Brown
8. Denton
9. Laidlaw
10. Weir
11. Evans
12. Lamont
13. De Luca
14. Seymour
15. Maitland

16. McArthur
17. Grant
18. Low
19. Swinson
20. Barclay
21. Pyrgos
22. Jackson
23. Bennett


Wobblies by 12. EDIT: Commotion might F u up a little bit, which would be nice.

 

[The Rock]

Will be interesting how the Wallabies go now with 6 players Suspended through Alcohol Dramas. How Stupid !!!!

 

[Hammeroid]

BackLine.

9. Genia
10. Cooper
11. Tomane
12. To'omua
13. CFC
14. ??? Harris/Foley/ Is Betham even in the squad
15. Folau

Seems a bit co-incidental that most players that were suspended are in the 23 while apart from Fardy the ones reprimanded were outside the 23?

Seems this happened last week - cynics might say there was going to be a change of team for Scotland anyway - pretty convenient game to suspend players from?

Maybe it was two separate groups out for dinner and both stayed out late and drank too much but one group stayed out later and came home more drunk.

Who do these blokes think they are? Respect is being restored to the proud Wallaby history through a coach with kahunas not willing to cop crap from anyone. I admire Ewen for taking a stand and not being dictated to by his players. I'd love to see the guys now more than likely guaranteed to get a crack, kill it and show we don't have to rely on guys not willing to put the team first.

Its a Bloody Disgrace, they are not young kids, they should know better. Kick them out and bring in some Young New Blood. They don't deserve to be playing for their Country. 6 have been Suspended and a further 9 Questioned.
