Carter to Narrabri 2nd grade. Bring in a 21 year old to match their no. 4. Maybe staniforth. Youthful exuberance will offer more than unfulfilled potential.Kurindrani very quite tonight. Maybe needs a rest. Isi to oc,dhp to fullback.

There really isn't a lot we can do selection wise. The blokes out there are just about the best available group, really. Our depth has been tested and been found a bit wanting in certain areas, especially in the 12 channel and out wide. The fact that without Pocock that dual openside plan doesn't work nearly as well is another issue.

Horne was invisible apart from 1 good defensive read and tackle in the first half.Might as well drop him too ;)

Do anyone here feel like Australian rugby is in trouble in terms of depth? Especially when it comes to the 9, 10 and 12 positions? Such a gapping whole in our attack without the likes of Giteau and Genia. Lacking creativity just watching these last two games. Or is it too soon to panic?

Just my thoughts when I read these suggested team lists.

Maybe Hooper cops a suspension. I mean, that was pretty dumb.

So it might be time for Cheika to start a third backrow forward instead of an extra centre. And I know I'm getting crazy here, but perhaps a number eight that can lend a bit more weight?

There. I've said it.

Dodgy use of the overhead cam. The sand went nowhere near Haskells eyes as the side view clearly shows.

he didn't throw it in the face, he barely tossed it away from his hand grip on the surface. It went nowhere near Haskell.

There's alternative footage from the birdseye stuff everyone is making assumptions from.

Or the youtube clip on the front page that seems to have been removed?

He's not even throwing it into his eyes - he's just digging it up and chucking it on the ground. Haskell doesn't even react to it. If Hooper was throwing sand into his eyes, he would have definitely reacted.
