So far the argument (from you and WJ) has been that Super 14 and now Australia A are not the same level as Tri-Nations. I agree, but if Brown has played outstanding at both levels why couldn't he do it at Tri-Nations level? It may come as a bit of a surprise, but until you actually play your first test match, you can't have experience at test match level.
but palu aint injured so why would deans want to replace him?, if palu was unavailable for sure give him a run but weve got to put the best Australian side on the park.......was chris whitaker a great player? of course he was but with george gregan in front of him its always going to affect the amout of tests he played........you have to pick the best 15........
