Now we’ve picked the Super Rugby team of the year, it’s time to take the challenge of picking The Roar‘s Wallabies team to take on the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup opener at ANZ Stadium next Saturday.
After a fairly convincing series win over France, which was achieved with two comprehensive victories at Suncorp and Allianz Stadium, and a rather dismal 6-0 result in Melbourne, the Wallabies are looking in decent shape to take on New Zealand in the first Bledisloe Cup.
The make-up of the team is likely to be similar to the one that took on Les Bleus, as Ewen McKenzie has remained loyal to that squad for the better part of a year. But we want to hear who, after a long season of Super Rugby, you would pick in your Wallabies XV.
We will reveal the results next Monday, before the Wallabies team announcement on Tuesday.
We could rabbit on all day about why Tevita Kuridrani will likely get the spot over Adam Ashley-Cooper at outside centre due to the preference of coach Ewen McKenzie.
Or we could wax lyrical about how Kurtley Beale won’t stack up as an international inside centre and that we need a starchy 12 to defend Ma’a Nonu.
But we won’t. We’ll leave the debate and bickering to you guys.
Until next Tuesday, you are Ewen McKenzie. So get picking, and tell us in the comments who you selected in you Roar Wallabies XV to take on the All Blacks.
