Lets examine the backline experiment and discuss whether Knuckles is on the right track:
Giteau - dangerous at both 9 and 12. His positional play was awsome - as Australia's most expensive player he proved he is worth the dollars. The question long term will be not which position is he most capable of playing, but who is most capable of filling the alternative position. Gits was the best halfback and inside centre in gold tonight.
Rogers - see my previous post about his retirement. When he bows out at the end of the world cup, Chloe will be picking bench splinters out of his bum unless he makes a dramatic improvement.
Larkham - not the best number 12 on the paddock tonight. See Giteau.
Latham - he steps he weaves he runs he scores. Nuff said.
Scrum - you sucked in positional play. And that taking the scrum option instead of kicking for touch / penalty was bs bravado and bit us on the rs.
