Bench. We finally got the balance of the backline right last night. Especially with Quade kicking so well. Besides, he's not a better winger than either of Ioane and Mitchell. 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Mitchell 12. McCabe 13. Ashley-Cooper 14. Ioane 15. Beale ------------------ 21. Burgess- 9 22...

3. Genia 2. Samo 1. Pocock HM- Beale, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Vickerman. Fantastic game with all players doing their part. Maybe O'Connor's absence grounded the team a little more?

9. Genia 10. Quade 11. Mitchell 12. McCabe 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Ioane 15. Beale McCabe/AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) make a balanced midfield, with good defensive and attacking attributes (tackle rate/success, speed, vision, consistency etc.). Ioane and Mitchell are the best two wingers in Australia, if not the world. O'Connor...

Looks like a very strong squad. The very probable notion of leaving Mumm, Dennis, Carter and Halangahu out of the XV is a good sign. Any thoughts on who'll make the 22? I'd go: 1. Robinson 2. TPN 3. Kepu 4. Timani 5. Vickerman 6. Elsom 7. Alcock 8. Palu 9. Pretorius 10. Barnes 11. Mitchell 12...

I never want to relive the aftermath of "Higginbotham vs. Mitchell" . That was a complete and utter shitstorm in a teacup.

QCS Test for all QLD Year 12's are the first Tuesday and Wednesday of September. Need to do it to get an OP.

Careful now.

There's a live stream on foxsports.com.au, but I don't think it's on TV.

Yes, I would. Much higher work rate and is physically imposing.

Australian Barbarians vs. Canada: 15. Lachie Turner 14. Rod Davies 13. Rob Horne 12. Matt Giteau 11. Drew Mitchell 10. Berrick Barnes 9. Nick Phipps 8. Pat McCutcheon 7. Matt Hodgson 6. Dave Dennis 5. Nathan Sharpe 4. Sitaleki Timani 3. James Slipper 2. Tatafu Polota-Nau 1. Ben Daley...

Wikman, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't like the idea of Horne being thrusted back into the scene without much preparation. I also doubt Lachie Turner will be picked, seeing as he wasn't named in the RWC Squad. I think we need another lock on the bench (Simmons- Sharpe's...

I'm with you MR. As a born and bred Australian, who has grown up supporting the Wallabies, the Kangaroos, the Socceroos, the Hockeyroos and every other Australian supporting team, I couldn't move overseas and just jump over to the dark side. What about people like George Gregan, who played 139...

Tibbets should start. You're missing a reserve by the way- two props.

I don't think we need a "weapon" in terms of our scrum being globally dominant, just having a stable scrum is a "weapon". We were never going to switch to 10-man Rugby, but having a scrum that isn't going to concede a penalty try every time we scrummage on the 5m line is perfect. Being able to...

Quade JO'C Ioane Genia KB (Kurtley Beale)

I don't think it really matters how QC (Quade Cooper)'s counter-attacking prowess was "discovered". Not all great things are planned, they are quite often serendipitous. Having Digby defend at #10 and Quade move to #15 seems to work at the moment, so who cares? As long as they perform it's a trivial issue.
