I'd rather him having selection problems in the front row, and of the good kind, not who is less likely to fold on the slight breeze of wind.

agreed, the trestle and the donut will surely be cast aside soon (i hope)

Agreed - drop Cross now.

i was thinking Ashley-Cooper myself, or Phil Waugh.

[force addict]

no! Don't drop AAC!
unless he plays really cr*p this season

Cross hasn't even played there for the Wallabies yet, I think he should atleast get a run & see how he goes before he gets dropped. AAC is the goods I think, maybe just needs to refine his talent a bit more. Stirlo is number 1 for the job, until he retires I think he has it mastered and the more that the younger blokes can learn of him the better! Tahu...dont think he's quite ready to step up to representing Australia at the top level just yet, he has only just been out of league for 6 or so months, Crossy had to earn his stripes as a Union player and I think Tahu should too and I dont think he's quite up to scratch yet.

They wont, tim tams not quite ready yet. Tri nations is another level altogether from Tonga .....

i was trying to stir mosey ....

Tahu was good no doubt. A weak opposition always helps. He is no mug, but hey....1 swallow doesnt make a summer( to quote Tahman). We arent short on centres, just a frontrow of quality. Till its changed, we will just mark time.

Tuqiri backs Tahu for Wallabies
June 23, 2008

Lote Tuqiri believes it's inevitable that fellow former rugby league star Timana Tahu will become a dual international - but not necessarily as an inside centre for Australia.

Tahu declared No.12 his preferred position after terrorising Tonga in Australia A's 90-7 romp at North Sydney on Sunday, while Wallabies coach Robbie Deans also indicated inside centre might be the best place for the versatile backline recruit.

But while admitting Tahu "killed them" from the midfield, Tuqiri said he would reserve judgement until after seeing how his New South Wales teammate - who is also being considered as a winger or outside centre - coped at No.12 against superior opposition.
