and if we had someone who could tackle, run straight, take on defenders, accept contact and create better opportunities he would be selected.

My response was more that you queried JOC (James O'Connor) not being an international flyhalf on those characteristics.

Sure, JOC (James O'Connor) can do those things, but those things don't make an international flyhalf.

Hopefully JOC (James O'Connor) shows he is an international level flyhalf in this series, but he hasn't shown he is one yet by any means.

As I have said before, Genia or White to start, Phipps to finish is my bet.

It is rare we will want more kicking in the last 10 to 15 minutes.

JOC (James O'Connor) isn't international flyhalf standard? well we will see, he tackles, runs straight and takes on defenders and accepts contact. It appears that is what the coach wants in a 10

Our coach wants us to play league - one out straight runners then bomb or kick pass to the corner. We might have a chance with Folau in the starting team.

Hi everyone, does anyone have a complete list of the injured players for both the Lions and the Wallabies who, if not for being injured, would more than likely be part of the match day 22? Cheers!

Well the two times he's played flyhalf at Test level he was above average. How many times do you have to do it to show you are 'international level?'

Nic White coming off injured after less than 10 minutes is pretty big news.

Hopefully it's not as bad as it seems.

Kimlin should come into the 31 man squad to cover 6 after a performance like that. I have thought he has been underrated this year.

Kimlin certainly deserves to be in the squad ahead of McCalman based on his recent form........

Burgess hasn't done anything to suggest he deserves to be anywhere near the squad.........

And I think Sio has pipped Palmer for a chance to be in the squad....... what a player.........

Who would you put in ahead of him though? That's assuming white is injured. Do we just go two scrummies?

I guess it depends on how White pulls up........

If he's out then either we go 2 scrummies or give Burgess a spot for the sake of having 3......

If White is good to go then he deserves to be Genia's backup.........

My point was you can't base anything off his performance, for or against his case. The decision to potentially pick him has been done already.
