My "I’d Like To See That" Wallaby Team

Okay. After reading Greg’s column on SMH, “Dean’s Test Dilemma: Form or Reputation”, I figured if he can spend the article talking about how awesome the Reds are (on Form), and pick a “Form” team with a bunch of Tah’s, then why shouldn’t I give forth my own opinion.

My “I’d Like To See That” Wallaby Team:

This is the team I’d like to see have a run at the All Blacks, Springboks, the Irish and anyone one else game enough.

My Wallaby Test Team, 2010 1. (Loose-Head Prop) – Benn Robinson

2. (Hooker) – Tatafu Polatu-Nau

3. (Tight-Head Prop) – Laurie Weeks

4. (Lock) – Nathan Sharpe <VC>

5. (Lock) – Dave Dennis

6. (Blind-Side Flanker) – Matt Hodgson

7. (Open-Side Flanker) – David Pocock

8. (Number 8) – Stephen Hoiles

9. (Scrum-Half) – Will Genia <C>

10. (Fly-Half) – Quade Cooper

11. (Left-Wing) – Digby Ioane

12. (Inside-Center) – Anthony Faingaa

13. (Outside-Center) Rob Horne

14. (Right-Wing) – Drew Mitchell

15. (Fullback) – Adam Ashley-Cooper

Bench: Saia Faingaa, Rocky Elsom, Ben Daley, Matt Giteau, Josh Holmes

Sadly, it’s just not cricket without George.

OH GEORGE, WHERE ART THOU?
