[QUOTE="madflyhalf, post: 420127, member: 41162"] Agree with 20-21/22. I think AUS need a playmaker outside, in 12 position. McCabe did well against Samoa, but together with AAC/Fainga'a on the pitch are a little waste: once you stopped n.10 options (whoever will be), the backline will have no idea to what to do with the ball. That's why Giteau should be at least on the bench... Also: maybe this wasn't the right match, but Kepu did well... I'd have him on the bench (he can cover 1 and 3). Horwill or Genia (or even Sharpe if plays well in 3N) for captain... though Elsom today in the 2nd half played quite well and hungry for rugby, after all he missed all 2011 rugby but 35', but it seems he can't captain his team. Alexander Moore Slipper Horwill Sharpe Higginbotham (6 in defence, 8man in attacking scrums) Pocock Elsom (if he will be captain) / McCalman Genia Cooper Ioane Giteau (waiting for Barnes, he's the best option) Fainga'a O'Connor Beale TPN Kepu Vickerman (agree) or Simmons McCalman/Elsom Burgess Ashley-Cooper Turner But I think during the 3N AAC (player who I really loved when he played 13) can "recall" his memories in this position and find his best form and regaining the starting spot; I also expect Mitchell will be fit in time for RWC and you can't ignore him; McCalman has to stand up constantly at the highest level, if not, would be interesting to see on the pitch both Pocock and Robinson (kind of Smith and Waugh in 2003)!
