With all respect to the great player Mark Ella, I think he may have been hanging out with Campo over the weekend
I can see the point he is trying to make but I think there are far greater issues to resolve than picking on the one bloke who has actually been injecting some life into our backline!
Perhaps start by looking at the position you once filled so admirably Mark
Ella chides 'selfish' Latham
Former Wallabies great Mark Ella has launched a stinging attack on current full-back Chris Latham ahead of tomorrow morning's clash with Italy in Rome.
Writing in today's Australian Ella charged that Latham needed to become a "better team player" and described some of his decison-making as "self-centred rather than team-oriented".
Ella said elements of Latham's performance against Wales last weekend, when he scored a spectacular solo try, typified a "selfish gene" which he said infected "almost the entire Wallabies backline".
But Queensland and former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones said it was unfair to single Latham out for criticism.
"Certainly I dont think the Australian backline has played as well as they could have, but individually Chris Latham is outstanding," Jones said.
"He's in the top five players in the world and I certainly think he is not the core of the problem at all. It's more the inside backs, not the outside backs."
Latham is Australia's only nomination for the International Rugby Player of the Year Award.
