Faingaa to be three try hero...and put Nonu on his ass...while knocking himself out in the process...

I think Faingaa works better outside a Cooper, and Cooper works better with a Faingaa outside him. From the Reds games you could see that Faingaa was Coopers 'out' option all year when something special wasn't on, and being the hard physical runner he is he was used a s avery good 'out'. I think Giteau may be able to benefit from this as well, though we can only see what the weekend brings. I'm pretty happy for Robbie to give these guys a chance at the top level, after all, the Tri nations is effectively gone anyway, why not expose some guys to the top level one year out...though i hope we have a team settled by end of the spring tour

EDIT: surprised the AB's have dropped Dagg altogether...thought he offered quite a bit off the bench.
