[QUOTE="Wally, post: 316044, member: 12205"] The way I see it you are both wrong. Barnes: Played poorly at inside centre for most of the season but is starting to hit his straps at flyhalf. Still has a bit of work to do if he wants to be considered in front of Cooper on form. Cooper: One of the form flyhalves of the competition. Has been quiet the last couple of weeks and was outplayed by a brilliant Matt Giteau. Has the advantage of an established partnership with the incumbent Wallaby halfback. Will fight with Barnes for the no. 10 jersey. Giteau: Starting inside centre. Faingaa: One of the best defenders in the competition with a high workrate and runs good lines in attack. Will make the Wallaby squad and is a chance for the bench. Ioane: One of the form outside backs in Australia and will play either outside centre or wing for the Wallabies. Ashley-Cooper: In decent form and will fight with Hynes for fullback. Hynes: See above. Mitchell: Decent finisher and will most likely grab one of the wing spots. Huxley: No one is picking him because he's played about two games in three years, is old and has little or no Test match experience. Davies: Lots of potential and will make the Wallaby squad injuries permitting. Is a chance to force his way into the 22 if he plays well for the Barbarians. All in all it boads well for Australia. Here's the team: 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. Mitchell 12. Giteau 13. Ioane 14. Hynes/Adam Ashley-Cooper 15. Adam Ashley-Cooper/Hynes There is no point playing Ashley-Cooper out of position at centre. I know Ioane has spent most of the season at wing but he does fill the 13 roll beautifully. Granted the Wallabies need to establish a specialist outside centre. I'm hoping this will be Chambers but he's still raw. Throw him in for the Barbarians and see how he goes. [/QUOTE]
