Australian Test Team

[lockyno1]

true but Robinson and blake are pretty much rookies and Baxter didn't exactly cover himself in glory last year.

I think when Baxter made that statement about how the wallaby front row was in a position to surpass the all blacks he was still suffering psychological scarring from what Hayman/woodcock and Sheridan did to him

Baxter is hopeless heck I have said it for years! I just think at the very least we are moving forward- ie. piking front rowers that at least can hold a scrum!

to baxter's credit, he has gone away and improved this year while dunning hasnt really done much.

peter hewat is probably the form back going around. eddie jones was concerned about his defence but he's acquitted himself pretty well so far. he's become a really good goal kicker and he can spark attacking raids out of nothing.

 

[aussies1st]

The Tahs front row has been real good this year so it's worth a try. Even that or the Reds front row that demolished the Bulls one.

Only 3 props in the entire squad Mick? No reserve prop? Illegal under international regulations. No reserve halfback? Don't think so.

I am, however I am only chosing the best players in the country in each position. It is not my fault that most just happen to be at the Brumbies now is it.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Sailor is crap. Period.

 

[douglasallen91]

Whats wrong with him? Apart from his lack of speed hes got the other parts sorted.

I would give Norton Knight a try at 10 and Rogers a try at 10 given we are rotating Gregan out for our 2nd test.

defence! pick drew as well and the kiwi wingers will have even more of a field day!
