[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 747914, member: 72865"] With the exception of Genia, and possibly Horne - that backline looks incredible. To ask Fiji to play England, the host nation, first up and then turn around and face the only team this year to beat the All Blacks is a giant ask. I know that point has been made to death, but just can't get my head around it. Not only is it a blistering backline, but Hooper AND Pocock are playing together? Yikes. Personally I see the Wallabies topping this pool of death. I rate them over England, Wales are in a world of bother with their injuries, and Fiji will surely be killed by the fast turnaround. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Wallabies put 40 points on them. My only concern if I was an Aussie fan would be about the busy schedule of Hooper and Pocock. That pairing would have to be employed against England, Wales and the knock out matches imo. Palu should be back at some stage and there is the match against Uruguay but still. I'm not sure what Chekia has up his sleeve selections wise. [/QUOTE]
