Wallabies 2012 Championship Squad

Horne will be brutally exposed. I would rather see taps at 12

.....again!!!! Your sentence should read, "Horne will be brutally exposed AGAIN."

 

[TOCC]

SBW won't be playing....

AB's minus SBW and Andrew Smith... Surely a greater loss then Pat McCabe

when did that happen?

Seems to be the same pessimism in this thread as there was pre-Wales series and then we won that 3-0 and the same pessimism exists.. that'll do me.

Did he pick up an injury last night?

Because the AB's changed their mind on SBW after Conrad Smith got injured.......

Horne should not be a Wallaby. He butchered a certain try and almost butchered a try because he has white line fever and seems to play for his own interests not the team's. His defense has slipped compared to previous seasons. There are better players in the squad that can fill that position. He'd be my third choice at best.

It's great that we won the series 3 - 0, but we should've performed much better against a poor Wales outfit.......

I see I've stumbled upon a Wallabies positivity thread

Has to do with his Japan contract, starting early apparently.. he is only on standby for the All Blacks as per the squad announced.. But they have also selected Conrad Smith, so there might be a chance he is called in..

 

[Slim 293]

According to the press release.......

Meanwhile, an injury replacement for the injured Conrad Smith will be confirmed next week, with 17-Test All Black Sonny Bill Williams the likely player, once arrangements have been finalised.

A poor Welsh outfit hey? Yeah they only completed a grand slam.. they're better than the Saffers that's for sure.

Scotland beat the Tri Nations champions too.......

They must be better than the All Blacks?

The Welsh team that toured here were not at the same level as the one that won the Six Nations, that's for sure.......

Do we have to do this again, there's obviously a lot of other factors involved in the Scotland loss, it's not a true reflection of our ability as shown in the next 3 games..

 

[Slim 293]

And then the Welsh said.......

[qwerty51]

huh... they were fully prepared and ready.

 

[en_force_er]

The only key player they were missing was Jamie Roberts. Sure a huge loss, maybe even THE huge loss but we were missing plenty of top line players.

We probably had a more depleted roster than they did.

Regardless of who Robbie selects the Wallabies are going to struggle unless they sort out their attack patterns (or lack of them) - here's why http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/wallaby-attack-patterns/

The Aus side posted in the article is designed not to lose badly against the ABs, not to have a go and win

 

[Schadenfreude]

I personally think that Taps will become our long-term Wallaby 12. He is a superstar in the making

I reckon CFS will tie up a wing too. (if they sort out injuries)

We did and Wales still lost. That's how bad their form was on tour. In all honesty, the Wallabies got lucky, thanks to the Welsh poor form.

 

[Athilnaur]

I'd like to see CFS play centre/inside centre.
