    Dom Shipperley In Doubt

    Does this mean the Honey Badger is in???

    A sickening finger injury to rookie winger Dom Shipperley may save playmaker Quade Cooper from being the latest Wallabies star to feel the axe.

    Cooper endured a horror first hour at Skilled Park on Saturday night when Argentina threatened to pull off an historic Rugby Championship upset by leading Australia 19-6.

    A great escape, thanks to 17 unanswered points in the final 20 minutes, denied the Pumas and spared under-pressure coach Robbie Deans a week of immense scrutiny.

    It was Cooper's most error-prone performance of his 38 Tests, save for his World Cup quarter-final shocker against South Africa last year, and had Deans seriously considering dragging him from the field.

    it means Beale to 15, AAC 14, Barnes 12, McCabe 13. Just shuffle the entire backs around. No need for a like for like replacement and keep the other combinations as they are

    Badger on the bench I think.. Ever seen a honey badger get stung by a swarm of bees? He has a sleep for a few minutes and then jumps back up and keeps going... Tenacious just like Cummo!

    I still fail to see the link between an injured Wing and an ineffective Flyhalf being saved???

    Jeez Burgs get with the program. Dingo was going to hook Cooper and put Shippers at 10. He played 10 once in U15s. Then he was going to put McCabe to the wing, AAC to inside center and Beale to outside center. Simple.

    After that master stroke, he was going to pray for O'Connor to get fit and use him to replace sharpie (who should never have been in the team in the first place)

    Someone needs to explain to Deans that there is actually an opposite choice to "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

    Recognizing that when everybody tells you it's broke, they might be right?

    Something like that; and that if they are right, it may be a good idea to attempt a fix.
