[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 422253, member: 24910"] Something I forgot to mention: the Wallabies backline formation from set pieces was very interesting - Ioane at 10, with Beale on the wing and Cooper at fullback. It seemed to work very effectively against the one-dimensional South African attack, but it will be interesting to see how Ioane goes defending at 10 against a more creative backline ( as I'd imagine he has very limited experience defending in that position). I'm sure he will be a huge upgrade from Quade Cooper defending at 10, but oppositions backs may try to expose his defensive positioning, which may not be perfect given his limited experience defending in that position (not saying it [I]will[/I] be a weakness, but rather it [I]might[/I] be a weakness).
