A very Rebels backline. Genia is guaranteed and Quade is not unrealistic. With Kerevi and TK in the centres.

I think Banks is stuck on the end of a pretty lousy backline, but has looked good when given the opportunity.............
At this stage I would only play Beale off the bench............
DHP is guaranteed at fullback............
Folau’s axing also opens up a wing spot and I would consider Maddocks as an option or on the bench, but I rate Banks as a better fullback.

Interesting selection and game plan conundrum for Cheik now. He's probably going to have to develop an actual attacking game plan that involves more than one player, a bit like when JOC (James O'Connor) parted ways with the Force (we used to just shovel it to him and hope).

Banks for my mind is so not a wallaby 23 option at this point let alone starting 23 material.

Our chances of making it out of the pool of death has certainly plummeted...no winners out of this
Bank's form is about a good as Beale's so far this season, neither has done enough

If you have Genia and Quade/Foley, what makes you think we need a third playmaker? I'd daresay, we'd be better served playing Kerevi and TK in the centers than Beale who more often than not crabs across field.

Lets be honest, there are few people in the world who can do that.

I reckon Rieko would give it a fair twirl.

Thinking about what this means for the Wallabies squad, I reckon DHP and Maddocks both go up the pecking order and will start at 14 and 15. Beale's role changes from centre/FB to the back up to those two players (i.e. fullback/BS winger). Kerevi is now almost guaranteed to start at 12 and the new squad member needs to cover him and Folau's opening. Harmichael is the beneficiary IMO.

Yeah Kerevi is probably our go to ball runner now.
Thinking about it, our best period of form as a team coincided with Izzy losing his. He was not very productive during our RWC run. Losing him is a blow to be sure, but i still think these guys can put together a good RWC run without him.

When we played without Folau in 2017 we had 10. Foley 11. Koroibete 12. Kerevi 13. TK 14. DHP 15. Beale didn't we? Right now I reckon we've got 10. Cooper 11. Koroibete 12. Kerevi 13. TK 14. Maddocks 15. DHP. Petaia, despite injury, also comes back into the frame in my mind.
The only active player who can really match it with Folau in terms of one on one attacking ability is Taqele. I'd like to get him back in Australia.
