[Fangs]

Mal even managed to keep Ben Hunt out of the 17. I'm quite impressed with him if I'm honest. The big man has an eye on the future of the team.

Majority of players are young and will be a chance to feature in the next WC. Moses and Barnett are 30 years old. Yeo is 30 in November but he is God on earth.

 

[chrisD]

Best is the best centre in The Australian squad and a much better centre than Coates is a winger. Cotter is weak but I suppose there's no-one else.
