Best test for Australia?

[Reddy!]

From the current squad of 30 players heading to the World Cup, what was, in your opinion, their best test for Australia during their Wallaby career?

This is for a bit of fun and to reflect on the players that we hope will bring back Bill!

The idea is to really narrow it down and get a pretty accurate list. By all means debate peoples opinions.

I'll start:

Radike Samo - Tri-Nations decider 2011

Stephen Moore - Twickenham, vs England 2008

Al Baxter - Twickenham, vs England 2008

Pretty sure The Fuse isn't in the 30.

 

[Hawko]

Pretty sure The Fuse isn't in the 30.

Not yet, but if 7 or 8 props go down........

 

[Utility Back]

Kurtley Beale Wales 2010 or SA game 3 2010
Genia England 2009 or last sat?
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) France 2010
Pocock...um, always? Wales 2009? NZ 2010 HK?
Sharpey SA game 2 2011? (my memory could be a bit short on him...but he was unreal that game)

 

[rigs23]

Rob Horne Brisbane tri-nations v. South Africa 2010
James O'Connor HK Bledisloe 2010
David Pocock HK Bledisloe '10 (although when does he ever have a bad game?)

 

[jason]

Oh right - sorry missed that bit! Just saw Reddy's Twickenham 2008 mention which brought back a few memories of Sheridan limping off after Baxter smashed him.

 

[qwerty51]

Horwill in Bledisloe #1 2011 or Bledisloe #1 2008
Palu vs England Twickenham 2009
Alexander vs Wales 2009

 

[Slim 293]

Pat McCabe v South Africa 1 2011
Rob Simmons v South Africa 1 2011
Rocky Elsom v England 1 2006

 

[Scotty]

Barnes vs wales 2007 rwc

The pressure he must have been feeling coming in for larkham and he comes out with a great game.

 

[Ruggo]

TPN vs SA Suncorp 2009

Anthony Faainga Tri nations 2011 Brisbane.

Best defensive display i can recall from a Wallaby 13.

Anthony Faainga Tri nations 2011 Brisbane.

Best defensive display i can recall from a Wallaby 13.

And there is still talk of him getting dropped back to the bench? Ridiculous

For his sake i just wish the World Cup was next year. I put a high price on experience.

I wouldn't go that far...

 

[EVERYFWDTHINKTHEYREA6OR7]

I wouldn't go that far...

As i said 'I can recall' to do not profess to be the 'Oracle'

Beer, rucks, scrums and tackles have prevented elevating myself to such heights.

Greg Corneilson

4 tries against the ABs he was a legend

 

[Brumbies Guy]

Greg Corneilson - 4 tries against the ABs he was a legend

What?

 

[Braveheart81]

I think Cornelson is really going to struggle this World Cup.

His pace is way down on what it used to be and he's struggling for match fitness.

 

[proton]

Cant remember what year but Im sure he scored 4 tries against ABs might have even been at Eden Park.

What?
