well i dont think shepherd got sacked for being 'unspectacular', i think he got benched because he was pedestrian and in 160min of rugby the only thing notable he did was one run.. thats what some people call pedestrian.
im not saying barnes was spectacular either, in fact i dont think any of the wallabies have being 'spectacular', but unlike shepherd i dont think he was a passenger and he actually contributed something to the games.
