I would say Deans, judging from past evidence.

Yes indeed. He was better with substitutions last year, but it's been an ongoing problem, IMO.

I think White is an exciting talent. He seems to be tough, has a good pass and run, and a monster kick. He should be part of the Wallabies' set-up going forward.

Important factor in this Wallaby watch concept is both options as captains material are not yet fit. Genia and Horwill. This makes it tough for players in those positions who are showing good form. The only other viable captain material is Stephen Moore who I think could make a bloody good Wallaby Captain.

And what's with the love for Inman in many of the posted teams? Ant is far better will certainly be selected before Mitch.
Going off of Super Rugby form, Ant has only played the one game this year. Chances are it will be AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13, but Inman is the best so far in Super Rugby.

I'd put money on AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) starting at 13 against the Lions. Whether his Super Rugby form warrants it or not, he'll be selected on experience and the fact that he has rarely let the Wallabies down at a position with no one else really pressing a claim.

This thread is about Super Rugby form. Inman has played well in every game this year (certainly far better than he has ever played before).

Fainga'a has played one game. He was pretty good in that game, but has certainly not done enough yet to be listed in the 'form team' which this thread is designed for.

most people are posting on current form, not who will ultimately be selected. note my earlier post.
inman has been in great form and ant finger only played his first game on friday, played bloody well though

13. Fainga'a

This would be a pretty crazy centre partnership - Lealilfano brings the combo of a 2nd no.10/skill + some of the best defence in Super rugby/and Fainga'a would bring also some insane defence plus a big power runner...would love to see this combo...

I think this is what the team will roughly look like, barring injuries. Pyle is a bit of a bolter but I have a soft spot for him because he went to my school. Also we need somebody to run the lineouts and I don't think Simmons has ever looked the goods as a Wallaby.

Replacements to fill out a 30 man squad:
Slipper, Hooker?, Douglas, Gill, Phipps, Lilo, Mitchell, A Finger

Saia Fainga'a has been playing above and beyond TPN, I think he should be on the bench with TPN in the 30 man squad.

The three jumpers in the lineout is impressive, but I just can't see Pyle being selected above Douglas.
