[benny]

No way in the world I would have Mitchell in the team...

probably change Horwill for Sharpie also

Good to see also you didn't pick Mortlock (in the 15) nor AAC, and is Tahu a fan or as good as two players you have him in the centres as well as the bench mate.

[Jenn]

Thats a very very inexperienced backline that would be carved up by an experienced team.

Mortlock should be there for a number of reasons.

And I assume you mean Italians?

[rahrahgirl]

wouldnt play smith at 6 either, him or pocock at 7, if your giving pocock game time then fine, but first choice is still smith by a long way! pocock needs time on the paddock though.

think mum or mmm for 6, if mumm isnt in the 15 then he should get a bench spot, 4, 5, 6 & 8 covered in one

[welshrugbyfan]

Mate you seriously need to look at 11 and 13.

[BeeJay]

His name is More Tofu on my plate NOW!
Shepherd must be in the reckoning for fullback surely.

[tic]

Genia is injured so rub him out for now.

Pretty sure that can be done anytime unless there is a reason to take them out soon.He would be better to do that in the off season

[zimeric]

there is no off-season anymore... unless you count December.

[Homer]

There is no way they will play two opensides and a small 8 man. Baxter has to play as he is the only guy who can cover both sides of the scrum so Shepherdson is a likely sub over Alexander for the same reason. browny will be reserve to cover 8 and openside with higginbotham, Mowen or Mcmenimum as the bcak up blindside 2nd row option to mix with Kimlin. Three jumpers, a ball runner and a genuine no.7
