I never said they weren't...just pointing out that realistically this team would pretty much be the Australian side...with exceptions as I have pointed out...not token selections like Mead or Benji

Vatuvei is the only one of that list who might make the starting squad...but that depends on your preferences. The likes of Asotasi, Moi Moi and Lima would be in contention for bench spots.

NZ get on top of Australia in the forwards because their pack as a whole is better and they have both smart selections and approaches to the game. They have a better back row and better interchange forwards than the ones that we keep selecting and they usually pick big wingers and centres who come in and help the forwards all the time saving them for impact. As far as I'm concerned, Civoneceva (despite an average four nations) and Price are still the premier props.

Price is near use by. He got hammered in Origin game 1. Did well in game 2. His effectiveness for Warriors was less this year than previous years. Civoniciva, Hannant, Shillington and Taylor in my eyes are all ahead of him for a Qld starting jumper.

I actually think Hannant has what it takes to be the world's next flagship prop. I think he can be everything channel 9 told us Webke was and Lazarus actually was.
