[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 802830, member: 72520"] I don't think the lack of a real 8 is an issue at all for the Aussies when you consider than in Sio and Kepu they have 2 of the world's most mobile and best ball-carrying props in the world. They more than pick up the carrying slack left by not having an 8. And Pocock is still fully capable of carrying hard anyway, as are Hooper and Simmons, as well as McMahon on the bench. The lack of an 8 is hardly noticeable for them, and even if it was, being the best team in the world at the breakdown would be a fair trade. [/QUOTE]
