Who would you bring into the Wallabies?

[No4918]

If you could pick any two players to bring into the Wallabies who would you pick and why. Go off form over the last couple of years. Can't remember who it was in the Wobs thread that gave me the idea.

Conrad Smith - can do it all and a solid no BS player that can lead the young bucks in our backline around. We are really lacking someone with his leadership at test level. What he did with the young Hurricanes backline was brilliant. If only Morty was a few years younger. Jamie Roberts could also fit the role and a far more rounded option for 12 than currently available.

Read - been a long time since there's been a real good quality 8 about. Kefu maybe the last? Nearly went with Kaino on his form last year but 8 is prob a bigger weakness.

Dan Carter.

 

[Bowside]

A younger harinordoquy and either conrad smith or a prop.

 

[Athilnaur]

Any two of Bismarck du Plessis, Jannis du Plessis, Jaques Fourie, Tendai Mtawariwa, Eben Etzebet, Juandre Kruger.

 

[tigerland12]

Sergio Parisse (or someone like Gorgodze, Harinordoquy).
Conrad Smith would fix most of our backline selection issues.
Martin Castrogiovanni as a tighthead.

Conrad Smith without question, we lack a really smart incisive outside centre. Keiren Read, because of our aforementioned lack of a quality eight for some time now. A quality tight head prop would be handy too. Castro or one of the Franks boys I think. I genuinely think that most other positions are adequately covered.

carlos spencer- because one quade cooper just isnt enough

the caveman- because whenever polota-nau is injured (which is often) we seem to lack the neccesary facial hair to strike fear into our opponents

 

[FrankLind]

Off topic, but I'd love Digby, Pocock and Genia for the All Blacks.

 

[biggsy]

Justin Hodges and David Taylor.. I would like to see then in Rugby Union. Im not a fan of NRL but these 2 bloke I enjoy to watch from time to time.

And Tom Carter

Good question though. Need more thought

 

[kronic]

Martin Castrogiovanni as a tighthead.

This and Thierry Dusautoir at blindside.

 

[wamberal]

Tom Alexander and Gareth Palamo.

 

[Scott Allen]

The two biggest problem positions in the Wallabies for me are #8 and #13.

In my view the two best players in those positions in the world are Read and Smith so they would be my choice.

 

[It is what it is]

The 2 guys who do the All Blacks strength & conditioning would make more impact than any 2 players.

 

[Dave Beat]

Rod and McQueen

 

[It is what it is]

Rod and McQueen

Perhaps Rodd & Gunn

 

[qwerty51]

atm we're lacking in locks, so Richie Gray

 

[kronic]

atm we're lacking in locks

Pyle & Neville.

 

[qwerty51]

ha ha.

 

[Forcefield]

Owen Franks and Courtney Lawes. I fucking hate the pair of them but they would add some serious power to our tight 5.

 

[Slim 293]

A coach.......
