[QUOTE="timmyhoran, post: 138286"] I watched Rays v Rams and I thought Kurtley Beale was outstanding. He's still only 18. Larkam was 21 when he was playing for the brumbies at fullback in '96 and 23 when he started at 10 for the Wallabies in 98, so Beale's got a lot of physical/rugby brain development ahead of him. He could be the next Ella. I wouldn't mind seeing him at 12 for the Wallabies next year. He's definately got the pace for it. Give him some time there to settle into international rugby. Remember both Michael Lynagh and Daniel Carter started there careers at 12. Wilkonson used to play 12 outside Rob Andrew at Newcastle when he started. I think Australia should go all out on attack next year and try and put a lot of skill in the 9,10,12 postions and try a play a brand of rugby never seen before. Some of the combos that might work. 9. Holmes/Burgess 9. Giteau 10. Giteau 10. Barnes 12. Beale 12. Beale I'm still not sold on Quade Cooper. He drops a lot of ball and needs a few more seasons in the gym. Even though I'm a reds fan I'd like to see either Cooper or Lucas go to the Force or Brumbies to spread the 5/8 talent across the 4 provinces and give them quality game time. We have so many good young player in Australia and a lot of expeirenced young players. I'd like to see Scott Johnson as coach with Foley as forwards coach. I'm very optermistic about the near future.
