[QUOTE="Fushitsusha, post: 143616"] As I've said before, I don't think Baxter, Freier or Lyons should be there. Unfortunately, two of those players are in the match 22. Like I've also said before, the Australian pack is currently dominated by Tahs players... yet, as they've showed in the Super 14 they're made up of slow, unathletic big men who got blown away by the better teams. Now, if they're not up to dominated at a Super 14 level, they're surely not going to do much good at a test level, and in the past few years when the Aussie pack has been dominated by the Tahs it's been absolutely decimated. Obviously my above criticism doesn't apply to the likes of Vickerman and Elsom who have the right to be in there, and Waugh on the bench, but that's about it. Palu is a big man but he's too inconsistent, and if Connolly is going to play him I say he shouldn't get anymore than 40mins on the field or he becomes useless. Now, I do belive that the vast majority of the squad deserves to be there, but it definately could be stronger. Wales are going to be excited by the fact that Drew Mitchell will be playing. Oh, and I do think that Cameron Shepherd was the best choice to replace Gerrard. [/QUOTE]
