[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 688434, member: 24910"] I don't think Speight was that bad against the Barbarians. He was a little rusty having not played rugby for a some time, but he didn't make any major errors that I can recall. Speight has been by some margin the best Australian wing at Super Rugby level for the last few years - one average match versus the Barbarians shouldn't really count against him. Ashley-Cooper can do a solid job on the wing at test level (but is much better at centre), but he's not exactly a major threat to the opposition, and his lack of pace was an issue more than once versus Wales. If Speight isn't 100% fit (as you suggest may be the case) I can certainly understand why they aren't playing him, but if he is fully fit he would be the first wing I would pick (with Tomane and AAC fighting for the other wing spot).
