He has a slight knee injury and won't play this week by shouldn't be anything serious but I'm with u
Godwin needs to "develop" more at Super level. Having looked good last year, he has been a bit less stellar this year. I wouldn't "develop" him in the international arena yet. He will be a long term 12 for the Wallabies, at some stage, I believe. We need to beat France but get some combos happening, and I would be looking at To'omua to start and McCabe to relieve him. This year.

I'd argue if he can't string consecutive seasons together with the benefit of a full off season and preseason unlike wallaby incumbents he won't be a long term anything for the wallabies
Yep, for now I wouldn't say so, but I see potential in him. Gut feeling.

Maybe if Simmons was captain he would stop having brain farts, remember it helped Horwill back in the day.

I agree he hasn't been the same player as last year but he has still been bloody good he is the best defensive back in the comp with a tackle success rate over 90% his attacking stats are a little down but that's partly to do the extra attention he has been receive from opposition players and the game plan the force are employing.
But him in a back line with cooper AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) izzy he will have the space to work and attack.
He isn't the best 12 in aus ATM but he has the most potential and I think just being exposed to the national setup would do massive things for his game.
If you look at his stats he has more run metres than McCabe and has beaten more defenders the thing he is down on from last year is clean breaks but like i said its due to the lack of space in he force game plan.
Beales attack stats are double any other 12 in aus but because he defends at 15 so much and drops back to take kick as and counter more than an other (which isn't really something 12's do).
He also didn't have a full preseason after a shoulder recon.

Gotta remember McCabe has one Le who has pushed him to cameo's off the bench at the moment. Mostly to have 2 inform players come finals time.

True Godwin has about 100mins on McCabe in game time but I still think people aren't really giving him the credit he should be getting because he isn't playing in the same manner as last year which has more to do with the game plan than the player.
I also think Lilo is living on his 2012 form and really needs to show something soon bar his goal kicking he hasn't impressed me for 2 years.
not sure where to start with this

Higgers has been very averages, Jones has been consistent all year, confused me here. Fardy at 6 Jones at 4 Hooper (c).
The I looked at the backs, and realized you were pulling or legs.

Mogg's finito - the bloody stormers showed everyone how to close him down.

maybe a bit unfair to say Moggs finished. his form has been patchy this year. He did outplay Folau in the early rounds. He's outside the squad at the moment, but i wouldn't be surprised if he became a great test player in the next few years. I've never been the biggest fan but he certainly has all the tools.
