That's a really interesting list of drops there Bill, TPN is three times the rugby player S Faingaa is, Horne played well in the one game he got, McCabe sucked pretty much all tournament, Burgess had a good game when he came on against Wales, but maybe it's the France thing you're quoting as a reason there, and Elsom is certainly good enough for the squad unless you're thinking next World Cup already, which I think is premature. You keep Phipps who stank like month old milk and McCabe was worse.

I agree this is not the team Horne TFN and Burgess have shown great form and deserve a tour
Agree with Turner but where is hodgo he should be allowed a tour and even a game
I would drop sharpie to get over the injury Nothing against Sharpie ONLY to Get over the injury so he can start with the EWF healthy nothing about his playing just precautionary
Give Sam Wykes a run on the tour also take Kieran longbottom a run as he has preformed well last season
I am very cautious in naming to many EWF players as some times injuries happen on an end of yr tour. As players are not totally match fit and I dont want our boys coming home bashed and bruised

[Emu]

I know it is one Test and a Barbarians game but the man missing is Toomua as a back up 10. With Cooper injured and Giteau gone the cupboard is bare.

[GIGS20]

Yeah, I like Matty Toomua, he might have slipped a bit in the reckoning with Gits stinking the jersey up for Canberra all year though.

[BDAVEY]

What about devlop Stannard into a great utility back for the future... hes one player that must not slip past the radar of the selectors surely.... devlop Sidley or Inman into the backline as a specialised number 13 freeing A-C to number 15

I don't think the Wallabies can afford McCabe Faingaa Sidey and Inman in the touring party, they're all too similar. You'd have to think Inman has an advantage coz of his size, and Sidey might be a bit better under the high ball, but all four are crashballers who need some razzle dazzle next to them. Berrick to 10 and O'Connor to 12 until Cooper's fit, after that push Rabbit out and let Barnes and Cooper fight over the 10

[AndyS]

I wouldn't mind seeing O'Connor at 10 and Beale at 12. Beale never quite gelled at 10 and didn't have anywhere near a good enough long pass, but he can pass, run and kick. He is not that small a unit either, if the ball does need crashing up.

Which genius decided to have a European tour after the RWC?

dead set.

The players have had enough for one season

It's a farking disgrace

[James]

It's all for the money.

Which genius decided to have a European tour after the RWC

Simple. The one who controls the purse strings.

[BDAVEY]

Yeh dum to go for two match's...love to see Deans take the fringe players and through them in the deep in.... love to see (wont happen) Pek and K.L-B head over with Wilkes Cummins Robinson Tooma, and Hodgsie... the next gerneration of Wallabies. They need a taste of test match footy... future wallabies need some hunger to play.... the ones at the RWC were there on past performances not merit. Deans get the broom out.

[mudskipper]

Yeah, I like Matty Toomua, he might have slipped a bit in the reckoning

I like him too... Toomua did go on the spring tour in 2009 but broke his jaw in a head on tackle at Cardiff and returned home disappointed... Deans did like his style. It would be good to have him as a back up flyhalf, Lealiifano could also be a contender... Toomua is a good player but had a bit of a mixed season in 2011.

Toomua winning the track work... the brumbies started preseason training on monday 24th Oct.

[Happy]

It's all for the money.

Looks like the guy on the inside won.
