I for one am looking forward to seeing Samo on the wing (just for a laugh while having a few beers). He'll have 40 minutes max and then be subbed off.
I'm sorry, but playing an ageing lock out on the wing rather than swallow your pride and call in a replacement is just pathetic...
With the cattle in that side the better option would have been Samo at 6, Higgers to 13 and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to ramain on the wing where he is showing form.
I think AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will be at 13 for the remainder of the tournament.
Isn't the overriding issue: what does this Oct 1 team mean in terms of a selection strategy and player readiness for the QF event of Oct 8 or 9, just 7 or so days after we play Russia. We are likely to be then playing a rising SA.
- we have no replacements at this time for multiple injured players so any replacements post Oct 1 will have zero Wallaby game time pre the QF and approx 6 days with the squad pre-QF
- we have no credible 7 back up to Pocock
We aren't going to carry one on the bench, Palu's replacement will depend on how Pocock finishes
11 Mitchell- what if McCabe and Horne are not ready for the QF?
12 Barnes
13 AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
14 JOC (James O'Connor)
15 Beale
Faainga - bench
Maybe Digby starting is his hand is OK
- Samo - meant to be a key forward - is now playing wing
He will play most of the game defending for Cooper in close and crash balling.
- history would indicate that there will be at least one new injury out of the Oct 1 game
and a replacement is 48 hours away
At this stage I'm more interested in what Jake White is cooking up in Canberra...
No seven back-up, three hookers and three halfbacks, a heap of injuries and now we play Russia needing to win with a bonus point. And we put out a team like this! If you had written it in a novel the publisher would have trashed it on the grounds that it stretched credulity beyond breaking.
I don't know. Harry Potter was unrealistic, a ginger kid with 2 friends!
