But this isn't the RWC squad.. who's to say Hanson and White won't be in that. It's for the first two matches. What's the point of adding a 3rd hooker and scrumhalf if they won't play next Saturday?

My point is they should be playing. That's great if he takes Hanson and White (or whoever else). Would be better if he tested them out before then. What if Hanson doesn't step up? Maybe Latu is actually a better option. Same with Faulkner. Perhaps Weeks is a better option.

The way he's picked the squad, we won't know until it's too late (The RWC).

Meh, I'll support the jumper regardless of who's wearing it.

But given the current lack of rugby and the need to enage with something, I'll jump on the bitchwagon and add my $0.02. Toby Smith is the saviour of Wallaby scrums and his exclusion is an outrage! (Did I do it right?)

The fuck was Cheika thinking?

Reality is, even if there was an injury, any of those other blokes cut can get brought into the squad - hell, Chieka named 31 for his 30 man squad so he can do whatever he wants.

Beale v Lea is BS...

Has someone got information that suggests that Beale is marked for 10/12? (Not 11/14?)

Or knowledge that Lea won't be in the next 31? Or a guarantee that Beale won't be cooling his heels at that point?

How do you know that Lea isn't being rested?

Cheika has held Foley/To'omua/Gitts/Beale?/Cooper. Only 2 get to run on. At 10/22 anyway.

Playing his cards very close at this stage. Hang in there guys, this going to be a rollicking ride.

Kurtley Beale, Will Genia and James Horwill are there on reputation not form. Hopefully Chieka can bring them up to form and quick.

He seems like a quality man manager so I wouldn't bet against him squeezing a bit more zest out of the older blokes.

There is nothing wrong with picking on reputation... Especially if you have the confidence as a coach to play a game plan that suits them and help them to re-find form.
