I like the look of the team too - some great dynamism there!

15 Isaia Toeava, 14 Sam Tomkins, 13 Robbie Fruean, 12 Stirling Mortlock, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Peter Stringer - weak?

It's not weak anywhere and certainly not at 9 & 10. Anyone who thinks Stringer's a liability hasn't seen him play. And Cipps is exactly the sort of 10 that the Baa-Baas like - unpredictable, dynamic and with lots of flair.

I like the pack, Has to be said that baa-baas rugby plays to Australia's strengths, but if the Baabaas pack concentrates on the bread and butter then the backs should reap the rewards and score entertaining tries. They've got to go after the wallaby pack and if they get on the front foot then Bergamasco is going to make james o'connors life HELL! Fun huh. :o)

Nemia Kenatale is a bit of a weird selection. The team seems great though. The backline looks very good and I'm really happy to see Stringer there. Nobody in rugby can get a backline moving like he can.

shame. would have liked to have seen tomkins at fullback with a bit of room to counter attack. might be difficult for him to get into the game on the wing.
