What the article does reveal is that the Wallabies have plenty of class backs to choose from - but under the Dean's watch he has not been able to stick with a selection to develop instintive combinations as it was with Horan-Little-Roth-Latham or Gregan/Larkham. This may be their downfall.....

The Australian sides are doing well in the 2013 Super rugby season with Brumbies and Reds 1st and 2nd and the Waratahs looming under the radar. Players such as Mogg, Folau, Mafi are sizzling and on form should be the back three....but...have never played together or with any of the other more experienced Wallaby combinations. If Deans picks on experience with the likes of Barnes and McCabe, the line up could be pretty dour compared with what he has to choose from....
