[QUOTE="Fushitsusha, post: 143590"] Well I disagree with your opening statement that this Australian squad is the best we have. As I've stated before, there was plenty of time for Connolly to blood new talents such as Turner and Barnes at the start of the test season. Having Freier and Hardman in the squad over Paul and Polata-Nau is also another obvious example as to why it's not the best Australian squad. The fact that the Tahs dominate the squad despite being one of the worst teams in the Super 14 shows that this team was not picked on their merits. Whatever happened to Digby Ioane? Why is Mitchell in this team and he's not? Drew Mitchell shouldn't be in the squad, and now he's going to start against Wales because Adam Ashley-Cooper is injured. Connolly hasn't made much improvement since Jones left. Australia drew against Wales last year, nearly got beaten by Italy, and then was nearly defeated by Wales' B team this year. The Wallabies have yet to defeate one of the top nations away from home. If the Wallabies make it to the final then I'll give Connolly some credit. Also, if Connolly was still with the Reds they would still be playing ****. He wouldn't have the likes of Eales, Horan, Herbert, Wilson, Foley etc. etc.... and he'd still be losing to the Brumbies...
