[QUOTE="Fushitsusha, post: 149997"] All of the players mentioned have a combined total of 0 Tests. Do you really think the management team is dumb enough to bring in someone who has never played for the Wallabies? This is the knockout stage of a World Cup, not a northern hemisphere development tour. At least with Tooheysnui you know what you are getting. [/b][/quote] Experience does not account for everything. If that was the case John Connolly should've called up Tim Horan. Oh sure, he couldn't physically handle it, but he's got all the EXPERIENCE in the world! Turinui wasn't good enough to play for Australia A, and certainly is not up to a test standard. I realise Turinui isn't going to get any game time but I'd feel a lot more confident with Ryan Cross and his zero test experience simply because he's a far better player. Having experience is a plus, but only the BEST players should be considered. This is nearly as bad as Matt Cockbain being included in the shadow train-on squad. I think even Connolly realised how dumb that was once the ARC began and Cockbain was being outplayed by guys who've barely had Super 14 EXPERIENCE. [/QUOTE]
