I do too but I would make room for Mowen somewhere - but I would have done it before now so that he wasn't looking at a debut against the Lions: I just like his style on and off the field.

Unfortunately so do I, despite Mowen's form and lineout expertise which could really come in handy..........

What pisses me off most about the white non selection is that he has responded magnificently to not being selected. Surely that's a quality coaches are looking for. Furthermore, his game looks to be a perfect fit for test rugby

C'mon Sully. Down our way we get a kid straight of school, who was overlooked by Aust Schools, being invited to participate in Tahs EPS before playing a Shute Shield or Colts game. Same kid didn't even make the Aust U20's squad for Junior Bill.
The Farce is being played out at many levels.

Just so everyone knows (don't know if its already been said), if it is his first dislocation you can often go through a month of heavy rehab and then strap the hell out of it for a while and get away with playing. McCabe did this at the world cup. He will eventually need the reco as the labrum will be torn but hopefully we'll see him against the BILs!!
As for the Phipps over White and to a lesser extend Beale over Mogg, I am completely dumbfounded. Why the f*ck would you not select him. It is quite literally an insult and I think Deans has lost it. At this stage, it appears white will have to walk on water to make the squad.
What little faith I had in his 'logic' has been completely shattered. A disgrace and an absolute joke.

Farrell's goal kicking was better than Sextons last night, perhaps thats the reason, but I agree I'd pick Sexton ahead of Farrell.

Of course he will.
No one was actually expecting Dingo to make the right selection was he?
Nick Phipps for christs sake.
I no longer have any hope for this series. The squad/team we could have picked and gone with, and gameplan/attitude to match it, was genuinely excellent. If Link were coaching it i'd back it against anyone in the world, right now, on any ground.
What we have instead is Deans reverting to his defence/minimisation gameplan which hasn't ever won anything, nor will, just in time for us to get wiped by the lions like a dirty arse. A once in 12 year series, an opportunity to really stamp rugby back in the minds of our population over league, win new fans, stick some serious cash in the bank and then ride the wave of support to ensure we keep growing etc etc et-fucking-cetera, and instead we're going with this.
Fuck this shit.

It's tactical, Hill now has to bring Burgess into the Rebels squad as a injury replacement for Kingi this weekend so we have 2 scrum halfs in the squad. Meaning he has played Super Rugby and is available for the Wallabies.

Is Dingo that Machiavallian?
Has he converted us all into the TinFoil Hat Wearing brigade?

Maybe not but he was still selected over White... Deans has completely lost his nut
