GCP_JONES - Plan B - this from an Oz news site: "Deans spent Thursday morning plotting an effective game plan".
All morning. Wonder what he did in the afternoon, golf?
It's the seven Waratahs that may form Plan B - for the first time this year they need to play rugby, en if it is a little bit cold and rains.

forward pack is second to none - shouldn't that be second to everyone? the power scrummaging nations Arg, Italy, France would fall about laughing faced with "the might of Australia". They 'might' collapse because of it.
Bring back Matt and Al the perpetual nose-in-the-dirt men.

more or less full strength except for injuries of course. not sure about rob horne i would have gone for faingaa. front row is awesome with robinson back and TPN. tomane might not play he got injured at training. but that forward pack is second to none (allblacks doesnt count) and the backs will always be packed with superstars injuries or not. should be a wicked game

A poor Wallabies team - so many class backs missing, Elsom is sorely missed, and I remain unconvinced about their front row.

Thats more like it from the Wallabies, whats the weather forecast for the match?, if its for rain for their sakes I hope they have developed a Plan B because the Welsh Pack will be superior. Why are'nt Stephen Moore and Ben Alexander starting,and wheres the Western Force Tight-head he's half decent at scrum time.

Well a better team uverall than Tuesdays,but not by a massive margin imho.Centers look better ,and i personnally thought Alexander would start .Palu offers more of a threat from the base of the scrum ,and AAC a threat from FB.Wonder if Genia ,Barnes and Pocock , will last the whole 80 mins ,as they have had only a 4 day tuirn around ,but as the teir2 teams did it at the RWC they maybe ok.Still feel Wales have a fantastic oppotuneity to record an away win here ,and start the series off with a bang .as far as they are concerned.Think its going to be a cracker of a game ,lets hope so anyway

I feel this could prove to be a great opportunity for Wales?

Whats happening in Australian rugby. This team has a distinctly average look about it. When i first got in to rugby about 13 years ago Australia had a team packed with quality and they could probably have put out a second team that would have beaten a lot of other top nations. These days the side contains only a handful of genuine world class players and the weaknesses are glaringly obvious. They do still seem able to find a way to win big games (sometimes), but they seem ever more able to find a way to lose the bread and butter games.

With who is available given injuries etc. it would be be tough to pick a stronger line up than this.
Hopefully Deans' faith in Horne pays off soon. That kid has potential, but he aint the finished product.
Certainly going to be tough against a VERY strong Welsh line-up
