[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 422553, member: 24910"] Ummm.... good question. I actually quite like the Simmons/Horwill combo, so would be tempted to stick with it. Sharpe didn't add much from the bench, but he is generally quite a strong ball runner, and could be a good impact player later in the game McCalman was again pretty quiet - he wasn't that bad, but he didn't really do a lot. Elsom was improved from the Samoan game, but is certainly a long way away from his best form. It wouldn't surprise me if Higginbotham starts the next game for Australia at 8, while I'm sure they will persist with Elsom in an attempt to get him up to speed by RWC time. I wouldn't pick Samo, but I do think they would be better off having Robinson on the bench rather than Hodgson. I thought both McCabe and JOC had strong games... I'm convinced McCabe at 12 and O'Connor at is the best way for Australia to go at the moment. McCabe's looked dangerous in attack (without making any clean linebreaks), and he certainly adds some solidity to the Australian midfield in defense. O'Connor looked great with space to room on the wing... he displayed some pretty superb handling skills in two of the Australian tries too. Australia certainly looks more dangerous on the conterattack too with O'Coonor on the wing, as he seems to assess the counterattacking options superbly. [/QUOTE]
