Good to see Genia in the side, he is a real talent and will provide spark of the bench.

Yeah, as a former halfback I rate Genia highly. Burgess had a good game against France but can go missing. Genia is a nippy little bugger and will be great coming on with 20 to go.

Very happy with that squad. I think the Aussies might roll NZ this year. maybe the Saffas, who are due for some choking.

Burgess was alright against the French but wasn't able to dart out of the ruck like he did against Italy. His passing game at times is pretty dodgy and makes me cringe.
