O'Connor set to become second youngest Wallaby

I think Turner didn't get off the bench...on 2 separate occasions...I could be wrong...Similar with Alexander has been on the bench once?

I agree GTF. Robbie lied to us

I take away his right to the 'Rob' part of his name. He is now unworthy of it, for his fibbings... people with the word 'Rob' shouldn't tell fibs to other 'Rob's from now on, he is just 'Deans'

I also agree about Waugh. He needs to know his time is pretty much up. There are more exciting and promising boys in our squad who need to have some game time and he is getting in their way.

Turner only has 1 but Alexander has 2, i think 1 was against the french and 1 against the irish?

It was at the start of the test season anyway

Anyone else notice we have 3 flyhalfs on the bench, no wingers and I don't think any of those boys would play at inside centre. So if stirlo was injured AAC would have to take 13 with James at 15... I think.

I'm still sulking about Tahu-poo getting in. Ahead of our Ryan... *shudders*

cooper plays inside centre, he was starting 5/8 for the Reds, but Barnes usually drifted into first receiver with Cooper at 12.

There are no outside centre replacements though, AAC can play at outside centre pretty well though, so if Mortlock/Tahu gets injured i imagine we will see AAC move to the centres with Turner at fullback and cooper/joc on the wing.

JOC is supposed to be playing at fullback only this tour, according to Deans, so I think if any injury happened JOC would take 15

[TOCC]

yes well injuries throw a big spanner into the works, deans may only intend to use JOC at fullback, but if there are injuries then Turner would probaly be the first to move to fullback.

He has at least played that position for a few games at Super14 level.

[mudskipper]

Deans may play JOC in as a winger first up...its an easier option than fullback...Hopefully the Wallabies get a good lead by the end of the second half and Deans is confident to give JOC a good 20 minute run...
