Nah, reckon we'll rest him from the Sydney test now, unleash him on you at the WC

Faingaa (at 12) was caught out in the line a few times though was generally sound - also seemed to suit the way Australia wanted to play the game with his ball running skills.

yeah that was me, but clearly O'Connor is no Ioane. Diggers will be back for Super 15 kick off (or near enough). Agree with Beale, i'm not a fan of his but he did show some promise there and justified his spot.
EDIT: with Cooper coming back It'll likely mean A. Faingaa goes back to the bench seeing as Giteau is untouchable and is going to 'play a blinder' eventually...would prefer to have Cooper-Faingaa than Cooper-Giteau tbh...no reds Bias there...
Also think Davies could be a game breaker with his raw pace, easily the quickest man in Australian Rugby when his hammy's arent buggered.
Hoping Woodcock gets a few weeks at least, that was a low low shot that doesn't belong in the game.
