The rumors in the media were that Lealiifano would replace Horne. If that's the case I would read that as Cooper being dropped even further down the pecking order (perhaps due to a certain video) because CL doesn't replace Horne really.I'd be surprised if Cheika calls White up if Horne goes home. Cheika will be backing Phipps to get the job done rather than replacing him.
Unless Horne requires surgery I think Cheika will give him more time to pass fit as he considers him an important part of his best team and not in need of urgent replacement in the overall squad.

Perhaps but he doesn't need any more playmakers either for 10 or 12. I would rather see Kerevi or Big T come in after watching Naholo, Savea and Fekitoa go on a rampage against Georgia. We don't have anyone that can play like that. Folau is different, more agility less speed.I have also read that Leali'ifano is likely to be the next in line for a spot in the squad.
I wouldn't read into it anything about Cooper though. That would seem highly unlikely. It would more be a case that he doesn't need as many wingers still because he's essentially down to his best 23 for every game.
I can't see LILO being brought in as being anything but a negative for QC (Quade Cooper).I have also read that Leali'ifano is likely to be the next in line for a spot in the squad.

As you point out,we are down to top 23.
What would be the point of bringing in cover for the cover?
That said I think they will retain Horne.
As long as it is not white!
Why? You don't like a player who can score tries and kick 50m goals to win us a Test match against the number one rugby team in the world?
