Didnt SK get injury in training??,dont want to be negative ,but just perhaps its a little blessing in disguise for the wallabies.Robinson and Alexander are perhaps Austrailias best props ,and even though RD has persisted with SK ,atm he isnt a international class prop, no dought his the best youngster along with J.Slipper(again not international class) available.Question is can Robinson and Alexander give the wallabies a decent platform ,and stop eating dirt.

What a great start to my day! I was praying so hard for the over-rated S. Kepu and N.Sharpe to get injured and ruled out so the Wallabies can benefit from the better players it has on its bench. This is great news that S.Kepu is out. I hope he goes for like one year. Wallabies don't need such an under-performing prop. Can we just compare tighthead prop S. Kepu with Alll Blacks tightheads like R. Crockett, B. Franks and T. Woodcock. Tomorrow I hope to wake up and read that N.Sharpe has been dropped or left out of the 22 something like that. Now I'm beginning to sense an upset on Saturday.

Maybe that's the problem with your Wobblies Trinats, getting confused between forward play and a tickling contest. In all fairness, I don't think a tighthead who gets chucked around like that in contact is going to be a massive loss. As much as people give the Aussie scrum a ribbing though I thought Robinson kept Franks honest and there definitely wasn't much between them. Kepu was the definite weak link.

Trinats I think you will find that this photo shows what happens to you when you try and kick McCaw in the nuts.

Ah no worries to have, with the unlimited depth of props Oz has I'm sure they'll be able to get over this... Or maybe not... I guess it's going to be a tough year for them, a pity though the Tournament is always more exciting when it's a tight affair...

Trinats 10 years with no Bledisloe is really affecting your mental health. Chill out man.

@Trinats

How do you expect ANYONE to take you seriously when you make your trolling so obvious?

"Scans have revealed that Kepu sustained a grade-two strain to the medial ligament of his right knee during a scrum training session in Sydney on Tuesday"

Great photo, captures the very moment Kepu damages his right knee. And angel mcCaw helping him off the field, he is such nice bloke !!!

And does it look like Woodcock has four legs ?
