Wallabies 31 Man Squad

[RoffsChoice]

So
Robinson, Moore, Slipper, Timani, Horwill, Higgenbotham, Hooper, Palu, Genia, O'Connor, Ioane, Lealiifano, Ashley-Cooper, Tomane, Folau?

 

[footy1>31]

swap tomane and mogg,

 

[Try-ranosaurus Rex]

I think we'll see Barnes at fullback and Folau off the bench,

 

[Richo]

Surprises: Timani over Douglas, Dennis at all, no back-up 9, Pat McCabe not selected despite still drawing breath.

Not surprises: no Cooper.

 

[Richo]

I think we'll see Barnes at fullback and Folau off the bench,

At least for the first test, yes.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Especially if you have a laptop, cause QC (Quade Cooper) has some spare time...


too soon?

This gave me a good laugh. I'm sure Quade will play out of his skin, will be interesting couple of next rounds.

Folau got picked at FB but I would not be surprised to see him come out onto the wing. Going by my mothers reaction she is a big fan of Mowen, not so much Simmons & Saia.

Not a bad squad. I'm not real surprised. Mogg probably a bit unlucky.

 

[RoffsChoice]

There is no Mogg, and given we already have two "fullbacks" we probably won't see him.

 

[Tigger]

Hmmm so we go from three 9's for the RWC 2011 but just one for the Lions test? Assume White/Phipps will be in the extra six..

 

[Cosmo Jones]

So
Robinson, Moore, Slipper, Timani, Horwill, Higgenbotham, Hooper, Palu, Genia, O'Connor, Ioane, Lealiifano, Ashley-Cooper, Tomane, Folau?

Maybe Cummins in the starting side? Otherwise yes i agree, big mistake to leave out Quade in my opinion

 

[Bowside]

I can't beleive he picked Kepu and Dennis. So far from being test standard.

 

[Try-ranosaurus Rex]

Sounds as if Deans wants to see Cooper play against the Lions for QLD

 

[qwerty51]

I can't beleive he picked Kepu and Dennis. So far from being test standard.

What? Who should be there instead of Dennis and Kepu?

 

[Try-ranosaurus Rex]

Deans to select either two or three halfbacks in the squad... so it's not over for Nic White

 

[Bowside]

The backline will be:

Genia
JOC (James O'Connor)
Ioane
Lilo/Horne
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
Folau
Barnes

 

[barbarian]

I reckon the one halfback selection is a glaring nod to Luke Burgess.

 

[Try-ranosaurus Rex]

Captain to be announced on the 11th June with the final squad of 31

 

[RoffsChoice]

What are the chances that there will be two scrum halves in the additional six?

News - Burgess is in consideration

 

[Try-ranosaurus Rex]

So the reason they didn't select a second half is that they're waiting on Burgess

 

[Bowside]

What? Who should be there instead of Dennis and Kepu?

Sio, Ryan or Palmer ahead of Kepu.

Would have picked another lock or another back in place of Dennis and bought MMM in later. The lock would have been Douglas/Pyle and the back would have been White/Cooper.

 

[Richo]

White and Burgess are both superior to Phipps. I'd be fine with whichever one is selected. They'll only play if Genia is hurt anyway.
