O'Connor, Brown to Start in Bledisloe II

Robyn you speak much truth there! im happy with the rest of the team except Burgess he doesnt impress me, he never has.. they shouldve had pocket rocket Genia in there starting and Valentine as reserve.

Great minds think alike Zim

Can we have Valentine though? He's not been named and I don't know if we can play him coz of that.

Nice team.....great pack, finally Jimmy Williams has got his way over the political crap that surrounds Wallaby selection. I'll even accept the Trestle's inclusion, since his form so far has been pretty good.

Backline isn't too bad either. I'd go with Barnes at 10 and Gits at 12, but maybe it's just Burgess' shit passing that makes Giteau such an ordinary 10.

Either way, we'll give it a bloody good shake with that pack!

Good team. Brownie EARNT (not won, mudskipper) his position. Why he has been at 6 I don't know, lack of a better alternative maybe but 8 is clearly where he plays his best rugby. Bit excited to see Rocky back at 6. Him, Smith and Brownie are going to rip it up!
Still think Burgess should be demoted to the bench, he really isn't performing too well and the backline suffers when they get bad ball from him.
Like TEF, I'd prefer Crossy as staring 13 with AAC at fullback and JOC on the bench but they're all in the team one way or another and the Force boys are repping in numbers. Hopefully they can pull off a win!!

No i'm in a hurry BUT... What the f*** no Palu!.... Well Brownie got to do the hard 80 minutes...No fading in the last 15 minutes Brownie...

Well if need be Smith can go to 8 and Pocock 7.


My guess is though, being Rocky's return game, it will be Brown 6, Pocock 7 and Smith 8, sometime between 50-60 minutes.
