WTF is going on in OZ?????

The Brumbies have the following players all better than the current team selections!!

Matt Toomua,11. Jesse Mogg,12. Christian Lealiifano,13. Andrew Smith,14. Henry Speight,15. Robbie Coleman

In the above surely Mogg is a far far far better selection at 15 than harris who isn't dynamic enough for test rugby!!!!!!

Full-back dilemma for Wallabies"

Only because Deans is coach !!! Everyone else can see what needs to be done.

Justice 4:

Aus will be back to No2 next week !!!

Beale to fullback and Harris to 10.

Might have been better to get some Aussies from Europe UK (Cam Shepperd etc?) considering jet-lag, passports and travel time.

You have to feel for Deans. At least he has the legend that is N Sharpe as his captain. He ranks for me along with John Eales as one of Australias finest forwards.

England would have Armitage or Abendanon to choose from as 4th / 5th fullback. Nice options! We have reverse problem. Plenty of debut not elite performance at the top. If Oz don't want Deans we will have him as attack coach... Sorry Catt.

4 years down the track, and you would think Deans would have a solution for this situation by now. Nope. So what has come of this 4 years, NOTHING! So much for succession planning. Even the All Blacks managed a RWC Final win with Flyhalf number 4. Just shows what Deans has to work with, walk now mate, nope too late. Ya stuffed your career with this appointment. And before you all might say it... Sure, ranked 2 in the world. Be honest, even as 2nd ranked they are soooo fare behind the All Blacks it aint funny. Whats more funny is if this lot are a shambles, and they are ranked 2, shows the class of the rest!

R. Deans should just put one of his favourite players there. Maybe N.Sharpe, D. Dennis or S. Kepu. Who cares? Both the coach and captain are rotten to the core. Robbie Deans or his coaching staff have no idea about who is their fourth choice fullback then rightfully so, the Australian rugby is doomed. First Scotland (2), Ireland, Samoa and now Argentina. I think Italy or Japan will be next.
