I'm throwing it out there, but i think Giteau should be 12. He has a very crafty running game.
He runs toward the touchline?

Pat McCabe being described as a crash ball centre suggests he plays like Nathan Grey, who hit the line with low body height and never showed much inclination to pass.
Lets see how he goes outside Cooper before his made out as being so one dimensional.
His combination of speed and reasonable size and track record of straightening the attack should create more room outside for Digby, JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale. Coopers ability to hit all these guys with long passes while McCabe and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) keep the midfield defenders from drifting out will hopefully create more opportunities.
Who cares how good Giteau's Super rugby form has been? He's been a waste of space at 12 (and 10, but that's for another thread) at test level 90% of the time for a long time.
He is using this under strength side from SA as his last possible chance to blood some of the extended squad while still fielding a strong enough team to win. There are some obvious omissions because they are dead certainties for the WC team. This will be the last chance for some of the fringe players to get any game time and that game time might be invaluable for their confidence if they get called into the squad at the WC...
What dribble...
Let's hope this isn't another case of under-estimating the opposition! I expect we'll smash them...
...but I don't know if I can take another loss.
When did he last perform at 12 at test level against top tier opponents?
His Super rugby form doesn't count for shit, nor do flashy moments of brilliance against the likes of Japan or Italy.
Flat track bully.
I only have one reservation about picking Baxter: will he get murdered by the refs at scrum time? Other than that, I'd be happy to see him in a Wallaby jersey this year after the season he's had.

Steyn hands down. Lambie is a much better kicker when he is playing 10 than playing 15 for some reason. Steyn is just solid all day up and down the field he'll kick it and I can't find a dead spot on the field for him yet (except maybe the car park). Lambie is coming along nicely but needs a year or two to get the consistency to push Steyn off the tee...Who would kick goals in that line up? Steyn or Lambie?

We're playing pretty close to our best side on the weekend (injuries aside) and if we don't show more than last weekend, I think we're in real trouble.
How fast is McCabe in relative terms? Genuine question - I don't know.
