They have both been outplayed by other Aussies in their positions for the last couple years and frankly looked disinterested, especially Genia.


The Wallabies certainly didn't miss them against France


Today the Reds looked fantastic - almost as if the shackles (sorry for the historical reference you Aussies) were off.


One would expect that they are probably sitting at home talking with their agents and looking for a lucrative overseas contract to play out their days.


If Genia is able to find his form again I still think he is the best down under, but that's a big if.

 Another of Dave's "class acts" who had the act but never the class.

 Flayed Blooper, I thought he was vice-captain and a central figure that Ewan was building the team around. I was hoping he stayed, because then the Aussies would continue to on the next phase of their decline. Oh well, there is always Folau, I really enjoyed his one-dimensional showing last year. Can offload well, but as with all League converts, they don't have the skill set to be a complete union player.

Genia was a very good player in 2010, but nothing much thereafter. He was billed as the best 9 on the planet, I cannot see why. Australia have so many better options for a few years now!

To be quite honest, the best backline layer to emerge for Australia since Mortlock is Toomua. He solves the problem of a lack of head-on power to keep the side moving forward and freeing up their runners. They are pinning their hopes on the wrong player because they are too stubborn to learn! Mogg at 15, Toomua at 10, White at 9. Simples.
