Who you backing this week - gotta be an Aussie

I'll take Iron Cross...

[mudskipper]

Probably put 5er on Mortlock as well

Not tempted by the forwards at all ?

How come you went for Quade last week ?

Well, I've got to go with Drew. He's just wow-pow when it comes to scoring tries Betcha he will win his bet with Lote bout who scores the most tries on the tour. Doesn't make a difference if Lote plays or not hehe.

Having left winger who SCORES TRIES who doesn't play for the tahs has got to be a moral boost for the entire team I say we will see a try from EVERY player... and each try starts through a hole in defense where the Pomprops are being too lazy to do anything... and then at scrum time they are too busy crying about their bad defense to scrum properly...

Drew for the first, second AND third tries. Cross will get the fourth. You heard it here first!

Drews a good choice robyn...Gits might put him in again

[mudskipper]

i think the forwards will be beating each other up too much to score the first try this week.

[robyn <3]

Drew is a good choice fullstop

I think he will get another 5 pointer. JUST to show Lote how it's done. Maybe the poms on the wallabies try line and Drew takes an intercept and runs the entire pitch to send GITEAU over for a try. Once Drew has scored his three, obviously.

paul sackey.................

drew or gits

Drew Mitchell. He's a finisher! That's the difference between him and Lote. Lote does a helluva lot of good stuff runnig the ball up, Popping offloads, drawing defence etc. But hell we've got two world class number 13s in this team, we don't need a third one sitting out on the wing not scoring tries!

Drew to cement his spot in the team with a double.

Hynes

[Burgs]

Vickery if England, Smith if Australia

Lots of opinions here it'll be interesting to see who's on the money - hoping the Aussies go out firing and get the first try - am tipping a pushover or a quick dash off the back of the scrum - suspecting it will be a forwards dominated game with Drew and the other backs getting little or no exposure to any ball - but hopefully I'm wrong and the Aussies get to play their game.
