[QUOTE="madflyhalf, post: 519224, member: 41162"] IMO when the Tah's begin to field AAC and Horne, they slightly improved (well... not a hard task... :D), but it seemed it worked quite well. But I don't think Deans would try it. Maybe TNT88 is right and this could be the year of McCabe cementing his spot, but I'm afraid it would limit a while the beautiful rugby played by the Wallabies in 2009-2010. I'd really like to see Liam Gill in Wallaby jersey. I've said it for all this season and maybe the last stages of 2011, he's amazing. Slightly different from Pocock: he carries less, but he has one of the most beautiful and effective support play I've ever seen, probably the best in Australia for a while. And Jake Schatz too, he looks as a good prospect for both no. 6 and 8 jersey, the Wallabies are still desperate to fill the void left Kefu and Finegan. Basically, this team is freaking good, not so deep in choice, but they have 20-22 top-quality players, they "just" need to be aggressive, strong and tight in the first 8 man. Now they have 4-6 tight runners, always the same, and 2 are injuried. The game they are physical and aggressive, even the mighty All Blacks shake and can lose. I remember the test against SA, in 2011 in Durban, in the first 30 min they looked possessed... mad... I've never seen a team putting 5 or 6 dominant tackles in the first few minutes, on the main ball-carrier of the opponent team, in their own home. After the first 30' I was sure the Wallabies would have take that. If they want to beat SA again this year and the ABs at home, they need to be like that, otherwise, they have no real chance.
