At the end of Inside Rugby tonight all of the panel of experts delivered what they to believed would be the selected Wallabies back line. Titled Men of Gold. I only caught the end of it but Kearnsey, Marto and Chalkie all delivered their verdict.
To cut a long introduction short. Gits, Drew and Sheps were the only Force Boys selected by all 3.
Perhaps some Perth Folk can take some notes of the selections for a better explanation.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Beale and Gitts 10 & 12 which holds which Jersey is dependent on the panel votes - split pretty even.
Sheps got 3/4 votes for 15 the other one for Mitchell.
Mitchell got 11 or 15
Mortlock at 13 - Cross on the bench - he is coming back from injury expected to appear in Aus A.
14 Tuquiri
Other reserves Adam Ashley Cooper, Staniforth or Gerrad
Forward Pack next week.

Who's at 9? Tuquiri better play out of his skin tomorrow night to keep the selectors happy.
the punters friend..... stick with me and you will be wearing
Beale? There goes the Bledisloe for another year!!!!
CHEERLEADERS ROCK!!!
men of gold, is the advertising slogan/advert the ARU are using this year....
you're complaining about getting 3 out of 7?
Burgess at 9, no question.
for me the highlight of their Men of Gold was the opening footage. If I was a post I'd be sh1tting my pants.

and none of them picked Beale, or Cross. They said Cross should be in the Aus A squad when he recovers.
10 was Giteau, Giteau, Barnes
12 was Barnes, Barnes, Giteau
Actually I wasn't being critically at all. Just passing on the facts as I caught them.

fair play, sounded like you were going for a pauline hansen style "please explain", but upon re-reading your post that wasn't the case at all.
you guys should head over to Green and Gold Rugby and have a vote in the poll, would hate to think that purple is being under-represented on the premier Aussie Rugby Blog..
The question of No.9 for the Wallabies was one the Inside Rugby Team was leaving for another night - it's a real problem - bet Henjak is kicking himself - it was his.
