Mumm as captain? Must be the antithesis of Elsom’s example.

Where are these reknowned man-management skills? The ability to find diamonds in the rough? The focus on lifting skill levels such that they are instinctual to a player? He has delivered nothing. Over the two years we have gone backwards.

Robbie Deans has done the impossible. He has coached the Wallabies into a worse team than the one he inherited. Time to go Robbie. Please.

Ouch – and who said playing the all blacks in Tokyo was going to be tiddly winks?!!

Mumm as captain – oh dear – Dean’s selections have gone from being tricky…to being unpredictable… to bewildering…to a farce.

Those wanting Deans over Henry in NZ have grown silent. Suddenly Graeme Henry looks like a solid, reliable (tricky) old dog (which is what I always expected anyway)

Considering the other options in the team, the decision is a solid one. Considering all the bench-warmers are on, it’s not what you call a full-strength side. But then again, we are playing Gloucester, not England.

It’s good to give the youngens ago for further development of the wallaby squad, or we will just end up with a (excuse the pun) green rugby team not used to the pressures of the international rugby circuit.

Its the best decision Deans has made to leave Waugh behind! We have Hodgson and Brown but Mumm as skipper is bewildering, he is hardly an at the coalface type player…

Mumm is made captain….does this suggest that George Smith is likely to start against England?

Don’t worry, Terry. Gloucester have released a hideous team.
