Hi Guys I thought I would end the poll now. The esurvey site is easy to set up but difficult to get into a form that is easy to share. I've had to make jpegs out of the survey to even show you. I want to do something before the Scottish test along a similar lines but unless someone has a better idea I think we will use google forms.We would try a time it to have our team ready the day before the ARU announces the test side.
Your Wallaby form team after round 9 is:
  1. Benn Robinson
  2. Stephen Moore
  3. Sekope Kepu & Dan Palmer
  4. Hugh Pyle
  5. James Horwill
  6. Scott Higginbotham
  7. David Pocock
  8. Wyclif Palu
  9. Will Genia
  10. Christian Lealiifano
  11. Adam Ashley-Cooper
  12. Pat McCabe
  13. Ben Tapaui
  14. Digby Ioane
  15. Kurtley Beale
Thanks to everyone who took part in the survey.

Are some people missing parts of their brain? How does anyone think Daley, Harvey, Kuridriani, Davies and Mafi will be play for the wallabies in the near future.

I'm very surprised at how little discussion there has been since I put up these results.

I think the results reflect pretty fairly what the team SHOULD be to take on Wales...

Except I'd put in Dennis for Higgihbotham...

He did, but Dennis has been playing just as well and is less prone to hanging out on the wing...

That's why I'd bring Higgers off the bench...

Mate if he played for the Brumbies I'd be screaming bias! As it is you're just plain wrong. The are both good players but right now Higgers is on a hot streak.

Was just thinking the exact same thing, the three form backrowers in Australia right now. But wait for all the Palu love to come through.

3 form backrowers does not equal a back row.
I don't think a 6 and a 6 who kind of plays 8 will be the ideal solution in Internationals. We have not traditionally played a Spies / Kankowski type 8, which is what Higginbotham sort of would be. I would favour him at 6, and get him a little tighter, Dennis off the bench (or vice-versa - to be honest, I think we lose little each way) and an 8 running it up closer. I think that style combination suits us better.
I'm sure someone will distill that to just "Palu love", but it's actually more considered than that. If another 8 was playing that role better, so be it.

I'm in the Palu camp. He gets over the advantage line, is a great off-loader, and the opposition fears him.
