RWC: Wallabies - United States (23-09-2011, 20:30)

[big ginger 8]

Think Mitchell will start and get a few.

 

[TNT88]

btw do you guys think moore, genia, o'connor and beale will start in the usa game? wana get my squad right for the fantasy game

They should be. I'd probably transfer Genia out, Burgess might come on early in the 2nd half if we do well.

 

[Nicolaas]

i see...thanks for the advice!

15. Kurtley Beale, 14. Adam Ashley-Cooper, 13. Anthony Fainga'a, 12. Rob Horne, 11. Drew Mitchell, 10. Quade Cooper, 9. Will Genia (c), 8. Wycliff Palu, 7. Ben McCalman, 6. Rocky Elsom, 5. Nathan Sharpe, 4. Rob Simmons, 3. Ben Alexander, 2. Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1. James Slipper.
Reserves: 16. Stephen Moore, 17. Sekope Kepu, 18. Dan Vickerman, 19. Radike Samo, 20. Luke Burgess, 21. Berrick Barnes, 22. Pat McCabe.

Changes: James O'Connor Out, James Horwill To have a rest, Pocock having another match off, Nathan Sharpe to start, Cliffy Palu run on no. 8, TPN to start hooker again, Rob Horne run on Inside centre leaving fainga'a outside centre (god knows why), Rob Simmons starting moving vickerman to the bench, Drew Mitchell to get a start. Lots of changes should be interesting to see how much cohesion they have, possibly riskier than one would think

hoping for bonus point victories against USA and Russia!! this presents an opportunity for horne and mitchell and a few blokes on the bench to give deans a selection nightmare. everyone keeps saying "we now have depth" lets see it already!!

Hard enough to get deans to use the bench let alone the so called depth

That really f*cks me off. I paid to see those four players specifically.

It could be worse.... your city could be hosting England so you are stuck watching them every week

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Wallabies line-up added to thread start

 

[M Two One]

I know you're disappointed, I would be too, but this could be exciting. Keep an eye on Tai Enosa, Kevin Swiryn and especially Colin Hawley.

[ExcaLiBuR]

Aus should win this game, but I dont think it will be by more than 15 points, we will be lucky to even get 5 points. Italy will lose to Ireland, Aus will play SA in quarter finals and win I hope France beat NZ so then we still have a NZ vs Aus final

NZ vs Aus Final would be the greatest game ever played, a bledisloe cup final... what more could u want?

 

[InsaneAsylum]

so if we beat NZ in the world cup final, do we also get the bledisloe seeing as it would mean we have beaten them 2-1 this year? hahahah

i'm predicting we will win by 30-40 points tonight, but i don't care as long as we get a bonus point win and come away without any further injuries to the squad.

and I will also wait an see how ireland play against russia, italy played well against them and I can only hope they beat ireland even though they've already won the world cup

 

[kovana]

This is gonna be a thrashing. Did not the USA learn from the Japanese? Put out your best players! Give it your all.

If your B team gets hammered... Dont expect yourselves to be within 40 points in the next match against Italy

Don't think Aussie will get past SA, so you might have a better shot next year.

Expecting a strong aussie line up to spank USA B by 60+ points. They have some small guys in their back line the yanks, I can't see their defence holding up, especially against an Aussie team wanting to make a statement.

Rugby World Cup matches are exempt from Bledisloe Cup competition. We've already held the trophy for the year.

 

[Jman227]

USA will win this one. I guarantee it. If they don't, I will castrate myself. That's how sure I am of this.

Just cut it off right now. Save time.

Thanks Tricia, I am aware of this but couldn't resist making the comment in the name of good humour.
