[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 524656, member: 24910"] Hmmm... a couple of interesting selections, but I quite like them. Douglas comes straight into the starting lineup to make his debut in place of the injured Timani, but I like Douglas, as I think his hard-working style of play is just what the Wallabies need at lock (something Timani was providing them). Interesting to see that yet again there is no lock cover on the bench - is Rob Simmons injured? As expected Phipps starts at halfback, and McCabe is back at 12, which I think is a good move for the Wallabies (assuming he is fully fit). I have always thought Cooper has performed at his best with a direct running option outside to help create space (or as a bail-out option!), and with McCabe at 12 no-one is going to get through the Wallabies midfield! They couldn't really afford to drop Barnes given his superb goal-kicking recently, and I think he will be fine at fullback - he won't have to do much to be a step-up from Kurtley Beale in any case....
