    Gregan to be rotated

    Here we go again. Selectors (JC etc.) not happy with half back.
    Well, thats what happens when you don't bring half backs into the squad and insist on people playing out of position.
    Honestly - did none of the Selectors or coaching staff know that this is Gregans last hurrah ? All JC's picked as back up is Cordingly, with what - 3 games under his belt for the year, give me a break. Take Henjak to RWC as Gregans back up.

    Gregan: Is he waving his jersey goodbye?

    George Gregan is in danger of losing his starting berth in the Australian side after a sub standard performance against South Africa in Sydney on Saturday.

    The Wallaby selectors are mulling over the idea of using Matt Giteau at scrum-half and Scott Staniforth at inside centre for the vital clash with New Zealand in two weeks time, for what will ultimately be a winner takes all game.

    JC has painted himself into a corner as far as scrum halfs are concerned. To not run Cordingly at all but still have him in the side is ludicrous. Much as I think Hennas has improved I don't believe he's ready for it.

    I agree the tactic of using Gits as "reserve half" and not having a 9 on the bench could backfire. But Cordingly is a seasoned pro and he'll get the job done if he is fit. I think you might see him starting and Gregan on the bench in the minor matches once the RWC is underway.

    I think Gregan gets judged by a different set of rules and with a total disregard for the performance of the pack in front of him.

    He may have looked ordinary on the weekend, but it doesn't help when your forwards are not going forward....I truly don't care who fits the bill come world cup time, as long as they can get the job done....It wouldn't surprise me if dunning played halfback based on the selection process so far...
