It also comes at a bit of a price to my normal position that Caps are not for trialling with, always pick your best XV however, that doesn't seem to be the way of it these days so if you can't beat them...
I guess its a bit of a time for gutsy calls. The Wallabies really need to reinvent themselves. Robbie really needs to actually start doing things. Put Barnes at 10. Decide on a midfield combo. Decide on a backrow combo and make sure everyone is pushing in the right direction. It would be very disappointing if Bob doesn't give Barnesy at least one shot at 10.

Are you sure? I had thought Hoiles was captain for most of the season and that Smith didn't even want to be captain?
