BDA you can't say "it's no coincidence". That's exactly what it was. A referee favourable to his style of play and the fact that their similar style player suited to that referee got injured early is exactly what I would call a coincidence.

It would be even more impressive if he make a Wallaby squad when it is inconceivable that he should.
I might add it's no coincidence that Pocock didn't play in the one pool game we lost in 2011
Don't get me wrong I am a big Higgers fan. But he runs far wider than McCalman does. McCalman's carries are impressive. My backrow has changed from a couple of weeks ago.
6. Fardy
7. Pocock
8. Higgers.
That's fair enough, though still only beating 3 defenders in 84 runs is below where you'd like it to be for a test 6. We desperately need that dynamic edge he provided in 2013.

This is why I don't get too hung up on players' stats at Super level without qualification. I mean lineout effectiveness, tackles made and missed are pretty standard, but running stats, offloads etc... could easily differ. Many of these players would be quite able to play a different style under a different coach; for example look at Hooper at the Brumbies, where he played tighter and got more pilfers. Clearly the Brumbies and Tahs, for example, play very different styles.I think if Fardy was playing in the Tahs/Cheika structures his run metres would be far more impressive
With Skelton in the lineout I think we could be creative and throw some flat ones that he doesn't get lifted for. I think variety is key and if you line him up next to nearly any other player he'll snatch the ball. I'm actually surprised the tahs don't do it more it could turn a small deficiency into a point of difference.

MooooperSo Cheika has indicated the captain will either be Moore or Hooper.
