i would rather have AAC than 'i-cant-run-or-catch-or-kick' turner. when lote is back from my lote bashing then i guess AAC can move to the bench. but drew keeps 11!!! lote can go to 14.![]()
oh wait... lets treat him as like the NORMAL RUGBY PLAYER he really is. lote can work his way up through the bench, and when he proves he is worthy of a jumper (before i die, preferably) only then he is allowed back into the XV![]()

Yeah but theres only a limited squad available according to TQ1's guidelines. I like having a big bodied 6. It adds physicality to the breakdowns and gives you more lineout options and gives the forwards a better balance. Playing Waugh and Smith together has had limited success in the past, plus i think Waughs time as a Wallaby is coming to an end. So considering who's available, who we are playing and how we want to play, i'd pick Chisolm and Sharpe at lock and Mummy's boy at 6. Smith and Brown pick themselves which leaves Waugh and Pocock as our only 2 reserve options for lock and backrow. I mean theres still room for shuffling the pack if a lock gets injured with Mummy's boy at 6, hell i'd be tempted to put Pocock on ahead of Waugh if it happened, but if 2 get injured it would be tough to win especially against the All Blacks. Then again if Chisolm or Mummy's boy come on for a lock then get injured, a la McMenimen, the replaced lock can't come back on. Either way we're screwed if another lock goes down.
Plus having 2 fresh open side flankers on the bench in Hong Kong wouldn't be such a bad idea considering we will need fresh legs after 6 weeks off and hot and humid Hong Kong weather. It could turn the game for us like it did for the All Blacks in BrisVegas.
