Big calls Hibbert, Phillips , Roberts . I for one will not be watching this!

Chris Price Jul 7

From the players available this is a truly shocking first xv selection!!!

Adrian S. Jul 7

I hope Gats knows something nobody else does?

Cliff Jul 7

It's a bad call. Davies isn't playing well.

Rick E Jul 7

Dropping BOD massive and wrong call in my humble opinion .No O'Connor or Warburton who is your leader

Ieuan Turner Jul 7

I agree but it would be awesome to see to serious powerhouses storming through the defence Australia won't know what hit them

James M. Jul 7

I agree but i reckon last 20-40 mins roberts and tuilagi could terrorise the aussies

Kenneth O' Connor Jul 7

I'm not saying this because of nationality but people that put tuliagi and Roberts in the centre together from the start of a game don't know much about rugby. That just doesn't fit to any game plan. Roberts or tuilagi with Davies or O Driscoll is a better combo

There's plenty of line out options. Quick ball from the break down to bring bowe and north into the game. Sob needs to be on genia all day annoy him like ferris did in the World Cup
