What would you have changed slomo? I'm assuming you'd have stanners on the bench... I think with that exception it is the strongest side we've got. Plus i think it may be a good idea to give barnes a run given he's uncapped.
"Remember lads, rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to Giteau."
the only way i can see it, is that barnes is on the bench for the first game and potentially will be rotated, stanners will be in the team to play wales you need experience for the important games, and thats the big game in the group stages
and the refs are announced...
Australia vs Japan in Lyon
Referee: Alan Lewis (Ireland)
Touch judges: Dave Pearson (England), Hugh Watkins (Wales)
Television match official: Malcolm Changleng (Scotland)
Assessor: Bob Francis (New Zealand)

Barnes will be the pivot come RWC11. He can be anything and i like him on the bench for the minor pool games.
the punters friend..... stick with me and you will be wearing
