After Quade's performances in the Reds this year he shouldn't have a Wallabies jersey at all.

 

[Maccaweeny]

ahahaha ****.

 

[QLD]

I cant believe Digby's out for the year. Would've killed SOnny Bill.

 

[Wally]

Yeah it's **** Digby didn't won't get his chance. Not much exciting about that Wallabies team at all. Only 2 black guys in the whole 22.

Why have you only changed the playing team to the 2010 season for Giteau and not the rest?

My apologies, I should have expected as much from the hack reporters.

 

[Bullitt]

What the f*** is Sonny Bill Williams doing in the BaaBaas?

 

[MunsterMan]

That is what I said too, but D'arcy was called up to the Lions and the game is being marketed down there on SBW "coming back". So the answer to your question is, selling tickets.

22. James O’Connor (Western Force)*[/b]

The backline looks pretty good. Would have liked to see James O'Connor get a run at full back though (or any one other than Ashley-Cooper for that matter). f**ked if i know what Hodgson is doing in there though.

Bah Bah's have a pretty experienced side, plus they beat England. Should be an interesting game. Glad I got tickets!!!!!!

Hodgson has played decent this year maybe?

 

[Cymro]

When will we see the great Matt Dunning return?

 

[QLD]

I admire the choice of not picking Tuqiri but what is AAC doing at fullback? Wasn't he playing at outside centre ahead of Mortlock for ACT?

 

[Woldog]

Dunning is the bomb.

 

[Cymro]

Just found out the great man has returned.

The token non-capped fella it seems. Except they decided it'd be funny to pick a rugby league guy.

 

[Woldog]

It's like what the f*** is Tahu doing with his name near the word Wallabies.
