Your thoughts should Coope Vuna be a Wallaby and will he be destined to be a one cap player?
Prior to watching the game I was dead set against him being in the squad and last night performance is justification for my attitude. There are other players in that squad that are more deserving and much much better long term options. In the last few years of playing professional union he still gets caught out of position regularly and can't tackle for poop which is weird for an ex league player, how many tackles did he miss last night?
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
Just another baffling selection.
Sometimes I think you guys (oh and the chicka thing) need to take your blue and black blinkers off.
For a Debut he had a good solid game - sure - he could have gone looking for the ball like Digby Ioane did. But that comes with confidence.
I guess its all about how full your cup is, or not. Are you a fan of rugby, or not.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
have to agree with exile. Cooper Vuna has X factor too - something Australia lacks and genuine tackle break abilities. As much as I like the Honey Badger - he isnt a proven finisher - look as his record. Vuna's work rate was pretty high although some people might not have seen in comparison to Diggers.

Yeah, I'd love to see the Honeybadger in the side but I reckon he he is toward the back in the queue. He will work his way up the queue as the Force backline improves. Vuna wasn't a total zero, he could turn out alright, but I think there are others like Shipperley, Morahan et al, who should have been picked before Vuna.
It will all be different when the "Three Amigoes" are all fit and firing. I cant wait for their triumphant return.
Cooper Vuna chased a kick for 80 m, made the tackle, dragged the guy into touch for the lineout.
Haven't seen an aussie outside back do that for 5 years!

also - i'm more annoyed about horne STILL being unable to pass the ball. especially when he had digby open. but no. had to take the tackle and ruin the attacking phase
hope his bloodletting brought him some sense
I thought Vuna went alright

Really? the 80m chase and tackle was his only completed tackle. I reckon he missed at least 4. He cannot tackle for shit and his one saving light was the chase. He is not a good option for the Wallabies.
Vuna is a liability. Hopefully North is back next week to expose this before Savea and co does........
