At scrummie Genia should be rested but Phipps on the bench would be great. No doubt Giteau will start at 10 and JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 to rest QC (Quade Cooper) plus AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13 but who the replacement centre, if any?
If they do rest Cooper then it is an ideal time to test JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 against some pretty robust opposition.
Gits 10 and JOC (James O'Connor) at 12.
It is also a chance to see how Vicks goes when starting.
The game is going to be on TV in my area so I was thinking of dropping the stats throughout the game in this forum instead of tweeting. I have mostly followers from South Africa and then Australia, rest of world, then NZ, so it might not be so relevent to them.
So people's thoughts? Would people like this? I will still do the game so the the computer modelling programme gets a sense of the teams for RWC, it just where to drop the output during the game I need guidence on...
There'll be hardly in Reds in the squad for this match, they'll be rested. Beale & Phipps in the halves, kidding yourself if you put Burgess ahead of him (I've taken my Rebels hat off).
Hmm I don't really think Beale offers a similar cover for Cooper at all. Cooper plays a game that no one else in the world can. Even if Beale could play like Cooper at 10, I would be going for a different style of flyhalf as a backup anyway to mix up the game plans a bit.
