It's just a Barbarians game, which is why Moore, Alexander and Horwill are finally getting a rest...
I don't know why Barnes and JOC (James O'Connor) are playing where they are... Silliness...
I really don't have a lot of interest in the Wallabiea right now, and wish Moore was back in Canberra already...

Pocock To captain that Awsome!
Also if O'conner is listed as a Rebel can you please change Ma'afu to the Force.

Uhhh i don't get JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 and Barnes at 12? Robbie still can't get it right, but eh close enough for now.

Hope Taps gets a taste, and interesting that Horwill gets a rest on the bench - well deserved

How many years since tr Brumbies haven't had a single player in the starting lineup?!
Might be why Slim isn't interested in the Wallabies

With Beale and Mitchell injured and JOC (James O'Connor) moving to 10, you have to expect that there will be a lot less sizzle in the back 3 from what we are used to - at least on those occasions when our forwards showed up.
I will be very interested in how Ma'afu plays. He scrummaged well against Jenkins of Wales, who is no mug, in the last game, but I also detected some good work in general play.
The 6 and 8 we have on the team list will be fine for the Baas game but they are not hard enough players long term for the Wobs IMO; we have to find others. I hope that Dennis gets a chance to prove himself in this match as a hard man ready to be promoted next week or next year. I can't warrant that he will prove himself, but let's see.
It will be good to see JOC (James O'Connor) play 10 at this level. I hope he doesn't get the Gits and try to do everything himself. I won't look too hard at his bobbing and weaving, but more at how he uses his supports and how he can steer the team around the park. I would rather have seen him play 12.
As mentioned: the attacking flair of the back 3 will be compromised without him on the wing against Wales. Perhaps he will move there in the 2nd half of the Baas match to give him a sighter before the test, so that Taps can get some time at 12 and Berrrick moves to 10.

Hope Sookface is wearing two helmets, got a feeling Stirlo will be running at him. Lets see if Danny has learnt the ancient art of tackling also.

Not many years, not many games either. The last game we played, 3rd/4th place playoff at the RWC.

It's definitely worth a shot (JOC (James O'Connor) @ 10). Barnes will probably play a bit of first receiver in the Wallabies own half, and JOC (James O'Connor) will take control in the OPP half.
Congrats David Pocock on getting the captaincy role. Also, I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to see Dave Dennis and Taps get a run. It is a baa baa's game so they should come on relatively early.

Must've ignored the part where I said I'd rather have our Brumbies players at home...

Meh, I'd feel better with those numbers reversed...

If stirlo is running at him, I also hoped he packed a good book to read while he waits for him.
