If izzy is on the wing and Barnes is fullback, who so you think they will kicking to?
Well, that doesn't necessarily matter. The kick receiver usually passes to the support on field position kicks. It's bombs where it becomes more important, but if the Lions start aiming bombs at receivers instead of the pocket then we already have a considerable advantage.

I think you are forgetting how many good counter attacking opportunities Barnes kicked away when he played fullback for the wallabies (hence why I wrote 'running' and not running).
I agree with the sentiment though, as long as Barnes isn't in conservative mode.

Just watched the third test of 2001 series on ESPN here in the UK, Googy Harrison, on debut, was immense.It seems though that these days we cannot risk a debutant against the Lions(4th best team in the world!!) I fly home Wednesday for first 2 tests , risking divorce,with an edginess best attributed to lack of control I suppose. In 40 years of playing,coaching and supporting the Wallabies the team has for the most part picked itself and the playing style has followed.Always 2 or 3 players debated over but nothing too dramatic and the best team won, c'est la vie. But with this loon in charge who knows what you're going to get(well you sort of do which makes it worse). I forked out for the plane ticket based on the the form of the super 15 players and teams, with the blind optimism that this would automatically flow on to the Wallabies(as it should??)but not so sure..James at 10 reminds me too much of the Tim Horan experience there and surely by this stage of his career he shold have cemented himself as the worlds premier number 12??(injuries aside)And ffs any coach worth his salt would have young Kyle playing,he would brain them,the unknown quantity with the confidence of youth and a normal haircut to boot,he will be a superstar.A shame he will not be allowed to introduce himself on the Lions stage and his coach denied him the chance at the Force.Enough negativity(have spent too much time reading this forum!). How can the Wallabies win and Deans still lose his job,there must be a cunning plan..

If there is a risk of divorce, you're better off without her. It won't get any better. Excise the cancer.
Your last sentence is the dilemma we face.
Nobody wants the Wobs to lose.
Many want to see Dingo go.
Many see the only way that this will only happen is if the Wobs lose.

No she's a keeper, just exaggerate for affect, her Dad landed in Italy in '44 as a 19 year tank commander,went on post war rugby tours to Hamburg w lots of great stories,she knows the score!If there is a risk of divorce, you're better off without her. It won't get any better. Excise the cancer.

rotary hoe, Unfortunately, like many of his generation, my Dad took many of his war stories to his grave. The family have only the most scant details of his experiences and activities during the war years.
I hope your family have managed to keep some of his stories recorded for the family history to pass down to the young folk.

You have nailed the wallaby pack ....given injuries and all I would love to see those 8 as our run on pigs.... Only question mark would be mmm's fitness and maybe he might seagull on the blind too much as he did against the tahs last weekend. As he tries to work his way back to shape. I think the balance of those 8 is what we need against Leo the lion and his 15 orphans!

I can't see MMM starting the first test, he is short of a gallop and returning from injury, he'll start from the bench
I agree with this. Given that Dennis is playing for the Tahs this weekend it is very hard to see anyone but Mowen starting at 6 in the first test.

Why didn't Deans call in Mitchell? He's better than Cummins and Morahan and a proven fullback as well as wing.

He has to be, one mistake early on when that kick didn't go out but the rest of his performance was just on another level from most of the guys in that match. Looked totally composed with the ball in hand and generally took the right option. Really mature performance - he wound the clock back a bit.

If he manages to get back to his old self playing in France that will be a huge loss for Australian rugby. Even last night though he still looked lacking in terms of the pace he used to have. When he would turn on the turbos and start squirting through gaps that literally weren't there it really was a sight to behold.

Just before his hamstring tears open again. Unfortunately, I think France is the right move for Shmoo.
So with all these pussy wingers breaking their nails or toes or whatever, who is left? Barnes fullback, Folau and Honey Badger wings?
