[QUOTE="madflyhalf, post: 507744, member: 41162"] Still clear what Dingo has in mind with the front row. 1 - Wallabies need a scrummager tighthead 2 - Neither Kepu, Alexander or Slipper are natural tightheads 3 - these 3 guys have potential anyway, Alexander is a great loosehead (technician) and sometimes he can play tighthead, Kepu is the strongest there, but maybe the less technician (maybe), Slipper is young and he's doing very well at right. So I think Robinson is still the first choice at loosehead, even though he's a bit off form now. Alexander must be on the bench, as a good cover for 1 and 3, Slipper can be the opposite of Alexander (he plays more at 3 than 1), Dan Palmer good prospect at tighthead. I think this works well with Moore at 2, but with TPN? I don't rate him as a great scrummager, but maybe I'm wrong... IMO Brumbies front row has been very very solid in these last 2 years. They still need a Vickerman-style lock... Neville, Jones, whoever... they need to [B]lock[/B] the scrum in the second row. [/QUOTE]
