Our last world class 13 (Mortlock) moved like a freight train in the last few years playing there. As long as AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) can hit the line with pace, draw + pass then I'll be happy.

Except no one saw him pass for the last three years he played for the WB's

Personally I think he should have rewarded someone else who has stayed in Australia and fought for the position. No one has set the world on fire but at least if he gave Billy Meakes or Tom English a shot for example you know they are 7 years younger so could develop into a future option, whereas AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is a desperate short term call.

I actually involuntarily laughed out loud when I read that.
He never had pace, or a pass. He does have good defence, good jackling skills and is safe under the high ball
Realistically, he is being looked at as cover for Kerevi and if he goes down ,.......

Draw and pass. He wasn't able to do that before he left. Stick out a massive right hand palm on the other hand absolute world beater

It's a bit odd bringing in two-dad's-army from the top league when a) he was well and truly on the slide before he left 3+ years ago and he couldn't get a new deal with Bordeaux 18 months ago. That said, it's not at all unexpected as he is probably a good giggle on the beers and mates with the right people. I fully expect Drew Mitchell to be named late for the RWC squad. He can offer expert (well, whatever) commentary from the reserves bench or we can wire him up whilst he's in the middle a la the ref. Perhaps him, Beale and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) can room together and have one final boys trip blow out after we get pumped in the quarter final.
I tend to agree, the only caveat is if Kerevi goes down two days before England, is Petaia a starting option? or do we shuffle again?
The wobs production line suggests that Petaia is due a bench spot vs Italy this tour - with more opportunity next season

Ha! Indeed. I'm alright with it. In NFL mode now anyway.
