Berrick is an excellent defender at 12 and would handle SBW (assuming he even plays) or at the very least would be able to blunt some of his influence. That is, if his head is OK.

And the one I would like to see running around this season. It pretty much covers all the bases in attack and defence, as well as tactical nous and kicking.

For me, it doesn't matter who plays 12,13. 10 is going to quade and kurtley has 15 sealed. As long as we have someone who can kick the ball between the posts at least 75% of the time from within 40m. Quade shouldn't be kicking, Gits is worse than my grandmother, I dont remember the last time I saw Barnes kick. Dingo, look at the last 2 winners.
South Africa - Morne Steyn
England - Johnny Wilkinson.
both sides didn't miss a kick add to this Dan Carter for the All Blacks, Contempomi for the Puma's, O'Gara for the Irish and Australia is the only nation who can't kick.
I'm looking at JOC (James O'Connor)

DC's kicking hasn't been that great this year. He's missed some not too tough ones.
I actually think his goal kicking is extremely over rated by many. I mean sure, he can kick, but he doesn't have the accuracy of the Wilkinson & O'Gara's of this world. not even close.

Nonu's form has been outstanding these last couple of weeks, his combination with Smith is invaluable as well. He was arguably the form midfielder in the world last year, SBW is going to have to do something pretty special in the warm-ups and 3Ns to wrestle the jersey off him.

Nonu + Smith with either SBW or Fruen on the bench. If the kiwi's weren't such chokers I'd actually be quite worried that the boys across the ditch might win it. Nevertheless, I'm more worried about the Boks and the idiot who decided to give Morne Steyn a kicking tee when he was growing up.

Obviously Nonu has the pedigree and past form, but he did play poorly earlier in the season. Haven't seen him play lately though. Can't say I'm happy to hear he is back in form!

Freuen won't be on the bench, he'll be lucky if he makes the squad - his front on defence is really pretty average. SBW might make the bench, more likely to be McAlister and iDagg though.

Doesn't matter, he's the best defender in Australia and can read Cooper's mind, no one else is really in the same league.

Plus Cooper, JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale are already locked in, hardly need to be going out of your way to find another kicker.

That's a stretch, even assuming you're just talking about 12s. IMO, Barnes is a better all-round defender than Fainga'a.

Ahh, my tone clearly didn't come through properly, I wasn't actually being serious. I'd take JOC (James O'Connor), Giteau, Barnes and McCabe over him - in that order as well. He's a fantastic player at SupeRugby level, but I just don't think he's got it in him to step up effectively at test level. Some people just can't, Stephen Donald, Mark Chisolm, Richard Brown etc. etc.
He already has!
