[QUOTE="madflyhalf, post: 355143, member: 41162"] I agree on Barnes-Gits-Coops: at least Giteau defends better than QC! I red Genia had a knock on his ribs, but let me say: Genia is a bit out of form, and Burgess is the key of the final minutes winning against South Africa, New Zealand, and a good attacking performance against Wales. Genia seems to keep the pace too slow in the final mintes, Burgess is rude (didn't pass well as Genia) but he's a helluva attacker!! I like him, I would have picked Burgess-Barnes-Giteau for the axe 9-10-12! For Italy... well Gower isn't a test flyhalf, but Marcato too... He defends worst than Cooper (QC doesn't want to tackle, Marcato just CAN'T)!!! And his position is way far from the gain line, especially in 2nd phase and so on! I never rated him as a good flyhalf, it's time for Bocchino, but it seems Mallett doesn't trust him, I also think this is the last call for Orquera, that had a good period at his club, but he struggled with Italy few years ago! I will be in Florence, I fear for Italy, our scrum (Castro and Ghiraldini) is quite tired, don't know how it's gonna be when Robinson will come on... There will be a good challenge in the back rows: Zanni and Derbyshire are our 2 youngsters, Parisse is a world class 8. Almost specular Australia with McCalman and the rising star Pocock, and Elsom the experienced one. Different flankers: we don't have a pure fetcher, but Derbyshire is great with the ball in hands (though he is quite small), I hope Parisse would play with is head on, **** the chip kick!! When I was playing U17 rugby, I've played against Derbyshire, weeks later his team (Prato) went to the Italian U.17 final against Treviso... he was playing 10 and 12, and he was simply amazing! Pure class (and already big like now), happy for him! Out of the scrum, Australia will outplay us... it's just a big mismatch. Devo solo capire perché quel pirla di Mallett quando ha uno buono che gioca centro lo mette ala!!! O_o CAZZO!!:mad::mad: (I just wanna know why when we have a good and young player, a rising star at centre, Mallet uses him in a different position - wing!! HOLY ehm... :mad::mad:) [/QUOTE]
