    A lot of debate around the Wallabies side selected to face the Lions this weekend, obviously the situations surrounding Cooper and Beale aren't ideal but let's go best case scenario here, no injuries or whatever.
     
  2. Jabba HJ Bots

    Genia
    Cooper

    Ashley-Cooper
    Folau

    O'Connor
    Ioane

    Beale


    With Cooper running the joint and Beale injecting himself the last thing you want is a feeble 12 so that rules O Connor out therefore AAC moves inside. Folau is too devastating to leave out so he needs to move to centre.
     
  3. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    Not comfortable with Izzy defending at outside just yet, however I think his running game would suit it perfectly. AAC is such a solid option at inside too, that's my prime spot for him.

    Match that backlien with

    Robinson
    Moore
    Alexander

    Horwill
    Simmons

    Mowen
    Pocock
    Higginbotham

    and it's looking okay IMO.
     
  4. Jabba HJ Bots

    Actually yeah you are right maybe go

    12. Oconnor
    13. AAC
    14. Folau

    For defense then switch on attack
     
  5. Droos JP Rhodes

    1. Sekope Kepu
    2. Stephen Moore
    3. James Slipper
    4. Sitaleki Timani
    5. James Horwill
    6. Scott Higginbotham
    7. David Pocock
    8. Ben Mowen
    9. Will Genia
    10. Quade Cooper
    11. Jesse Mogg
    12. James O'Conner
    13. Adam-Ashley Cooper
    14. Israel Folau
    15. Kurtley Beale

    Only thing of interest to me is the backs

    Genia (best 9 in the world)

    Barnes (this is where he was born to play)
    Oconnor (he will be magic)
    AAC (for stability and he doesn't miss tackles)
    Ioane 11
    Speight sp?
    Beale

    Mogg reserve Full back and wing
    Christian as reserve first five and centre.

    Don't see how Israel can be picked - might have played well in his recent games but seemed flakey to me in his first 2-3 games (which is what you would expect) Give him at least a full season.
     
  7. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    FMD, forgot Mogg - we have some unreal depth in the outside backs atm.
     
  8. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    I personally think Deans in a poor selector and tends to put creative players at 10 and on the wing. I think he has long neglected the centres.

    Peeps like Pat McCabe may be beasts over teams ranked 6-7th in the world but won't do much for you against the best tackling teams in the world like SA.
