[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 806483, member: 43441"] Watched a lot of Phipps in the last few seasons and he is honestly a player who irritates me. Simply a distributor of the ball, and very rarely wil take on the opposition. As such, never a threat. Whatever happened to nick white? Another player who gets under my skin, but mainly because of his tenacity and edge. Perhaps injured, but to me, Phipps is a waste of a 9 shirt and is simply the link between 8 and 10 even in for his provincial side. been surprised how poor foley has been. He's clearly a better ball in hand 10, but England's defence put end to a lot of that. Hasn't Toomua played a bit of 10. Again though , more of a ball in hand player. Surprised he never got more time in all tests as he has looked sharp in super rugby. Leiliafano (sp) another who I thought offers the oz team a little difference. In the end, oz went more with a like for like in Phipps and Foley, when in the past, it has been their unique approach that has been successful against northern sides. Might be talking a load of bo ll ocks here but just a point of view in retrospect. if nothing else, it was clear to me how much of a threat Folau was in all three tests. For me, your best back. As for forwards, I hate him, but hooper was his righteous pain in the ass through out. What a great little sh it he can be. [/QUOTE]
