I assume Beale is back, any other changes?Wallabies have named our best backline of the tournament. Week too late.
Yeah, will be interesting having two centres who can actually pass the ball.Wallabies have named our best backline of the tournament. Week too late.
Congrats to Nathan Sharpe who gets his 100th Cap.
I highly doubt that'll be the last of Cooper at international level. Put aside the WC and for the majority of the year he performed better than Carter (admittedly DC struggled in Super Rugby with injury for a period). With due respect to Barnes, hes conventional but not outstanding when compared to Cooper, whos still only 23 after all. Perhaps Cooper is to Australian rugby what Sehwag is to Indian cricket - brilliant when hes on form but exposed when hes not. Also I'll point out that Cooper's comfortably the top "try assister" in the tournament.I hope for Aussie's sake this is the end of his international career. he has had enough chances and I have never seen him play like he does at super 15 level.
I'm sure Stephen Donald could give him a run for his money. In seriousness, really surprised that Hook struggled so badly for goalkicking form; every other time I've seen him kick hes been pretty accurate.Better performance from the Aussies tonight, but seriously, is there a worse goal kicker going around than that guy Hook.
