Have to agree, Luke.
I think JOC performed well at fly-half during the spring tour in 2011. He’ll do well if picked there, especially with Genia servicing him.
Combinations worth more than the sum of their parts
Jiggles commented that his game was superior in every way to Folau which I disagree with. Both great players with different skill sets. Mogg, Folau and Digby my back 3.

Fox Sports just stole your stat, Johnno.

Play Lealiifano at 12 and that problem is solved.

There’s room for both of them in the XV. You can’t deny Folau’s aerial skills, power, and ability to offload in the collision.

It was just lazy from the TMO – only looked at one angle. Brumbies well on top but doesn’t excuse such a poor call.

Ailing? The Tahs have some great players – It’s not their fault that some of their dud team mates get the call up.

True, but the criticism Cooper has received is warranted.

No one ever said he wasn’t a good Super XV player. His decencies at test level remain to be resolved.

Seeing rugby players up this close in HD is way scarier than some so called horror flick.

Not sure what ref cam offers to be honest, all I see is a shaky homemade style picture – much prefer spider cam out of the new age camera angles

Just not a smart player in general really.

Being in your 60’s isn’t old by sports commentary standards these days.
Ray Warren is 70, Dennis Commetti is 64… not to mention Richie, Bill, etc.

Nice article John, I enjoyed learning more about Toomua’s background.
Toomua: Australia's forgotten man
Cummins’ inclusion has less to do with performance than it does marketing. He’s the young pin up boy CA are desperate to use in selling the game. Mind you, he is a fine bowler… when fit.

Faulkner has a Shield bowling average of 22 – just because one is skilled at T20 doesn’t mean they aren’t capable in the other formats.

We all love sport, that’s why we’re Roarers, but even so – the cost of t a new purpose-built stadium could just be better spent elsewhere.
We have a 40,000 seat stadium next to the city and a 82,000 seater in the west, which might not be perfect, but it’s good enough in terms of accessibility and facilities.
STEVE TURNER: Rugby league must build its own ground
True, a balance of experience/form is key…but I think Dennis, Higginbotham and Palu are not test standard right now, and that’s not just their Super form, but what they’ve shown in last year’s tests as well.
FWIW my backline atm is Genia, CL, Digby, Tapuai, AAC, Cummins, Mogg

G’day Brett,
I’ve been thinking about the Wallabies backline – and I can’t see any of the 3 amigos getting a starting run on current form.
Do you think we’ll see a new look Wallabies side this year? It’d be great to see some untried but in form players rewarded.

Looks like there’s 3 positions we all agree on!

9. Genia
13. AAC
