melkdave -- kidding yourself as usual. i like wales as much as the next guy and yes they are by a huge distance the best team in the NH but seriously stop taking the piss

@Flyman
JC is injured and wont make any of the summer tests ,but the idea holds promise for the RC later on.Also i think your joking about QC at FB ,not only is he not match fit atm ,but his renowned as a player who wont/ cant tackle.and suspect under the high ball If his ever picked at 15 ill start adding my voice for RD to go ,as he would obvisously have lost all rugby sense and is suffering a breakdown. I think A.A.Cooper will play 15 this summer if KB is at 10

Beale's good, but he's got nothing on Bryce Lawrence...now there's a Wallaby match fixer...I mean match winner

KB at 5/8 is a must! Have JOC at 12 and start QC off at FB in the test against the Scots.

I saw Beale against the Foce at 10 and he looked dangerous every time he got the ball - simply his pace and willingness to have a go. Of course the Force defence in an average conference helps, but the sheer uncertainty of whether he's going to hit a gap or faint to and then throw a great flat ball puts defences on the back foot. Him at 10 and JOC at 12 would be a pretty good start in terms of a dangerous Australian backline

Even if Beale can play 10 at international level, surely his primary asset is his blistering pace and ability to run with or onto the ball from anywhere. Play him at fly half and you nullify those advantages to a large extent. I am being selfish here - I love watching this guy at FB!

I think a backline with KB at 5/8 and James O'Connor at 2nd 5 looks dangerous as hell. Just wondering who they'll slot in at 15. Would've liked to see Lealiifano playing at 10, really unfortunate ankle injury, he was playing great when he was healthy

Well KB is his best option at 5/8 imo atm ,despite QCs return who will most probibly play in the final 2 tests,nice to see he hasnt been thrust straight into the test culdron so he can get match fit ect.Still feel if Wales believe in themselves they can achive a series win though .Going to be very hard but definatly achivable imho
