Do you really think England can contain Genia, Cooper, Giteau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell, JO'C, Beale - Christ that is a potent backline and those names are world famous, despite containing 4 QLDers

Fixed ;)

They did alright containing Carter, Nonu, SBW, Gear, Muliaina and Rocokoco for about 60 min. Not to mention Kaino, Read, McCaw, Thorne and Mealamu up front as well.

The old cliche of everything 'starting up front' can't be ignored and if your pack doesn't play out of their skin on Sun morning, it will make life very difficult for your stars in the backline. As well as Genia, Cooper, Giteau and Mitchell...lol

I think you'll note that there is no Qlders in the ABs lineup that you mentioned.

Well maybe half a one if we include Thorn.

I actually don't think this weekend is going to be much of a contest. England is shite at sport, and Wallabies are coming off promising victories. England is so bad that the Wallabies will probably win the game in the opening 20mins. Scrums? Who cares about them, they are boring and are for dull people. The Wallabies will hopefully be smart enough not get into scrum situations by holding onto the ball and kicking for touch. Put simply, I just don't care about scrums and neither does Robbie Deans.

Do you really think England can contain Genia, Cooper, Giteau, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Mitchell, JO'C, Beale - Christ that is a potent backline and those names are world famous, and contains 4 QLDers no less. I don't think I can name one player in this England team, and that's because they are shite and have no good players, obviously. I don't know about you guys, but it is hell of a lot more fun to ramp up the spite against England then it is to sit around and moan about how good they will be upfront or IF they might beat us. Geez, lighten up guys! :)

Wallabies by 27 - that's the Reddy guarantee :)

I think Reddy just won the 2011 "start a fight on his own" award already.

troxler, I'd be surprised if there are any changes. I guess one option might be Simmons in for Chis, but I doubt Deans will see it that way. I reckon TPN is there just as backup, and barring injury, won't feature in the 22.
