wallabies squad and match day 22 vs lions,,,

with the naming of the official wallabies squad less then a month away, i just wanted to post my two cents on who should be in the 25 man wallabies squad and who the top team should be.

props
James Slipper (Queensland Reds), Ben Alexander (Brumbies), Benn Robinson (NSW Waratahs), Scott Sio (Brumbies),

hookers
Stephen Moore (Brumbies), Tatafu Polota Nau (NSW Waratahs)

locks
Rob Simmons (Queensland Reds), James Horwill (Queensland Reds), Sitaleki Timani (NSW Waratahs),

loose forwards
George Smith (Brumbies), Michael Hooper (NSW Waratahs), Liam Gill (Queensland Reds), Scott Higginbotham (Melbourne Rebels), Ben Mowen (Brumbies),

halfbacks
Nic White (Brumbies), Will Genia (Queensland Reds),

flyhalves
Christian Leali’ifano (Brumbies), Quade Cooper (Reds),

centers
Ben Tapuai (Queensland Reds), Pat McCabe (Brumbies), James O’Connor (Melbourne Rebels),

wings
Digby Ioane (Queensland Reds), Adam Ashley-Cooper (NSW Waratahs),

fullbacks
Jesse Mogg (Brumbies), Israel Folau (NSW Waratahs),

from this squad my strongest 22 would be,,,
1 ben alexander, 2 stephen moore, 3 james slipper, 4 james horwil, 5 sitaleki timani, 6 george smith, 7 liam gill, 8 ben mowen, 9 will genia, 10 quade copper, 11 digby ioane, 12 will tapuaii, 13 adam ashley cooper, 14 jese mogg, 15 james oconner
16 tatafu polotu nau, 17 benn robinson, 18 rob simmons, 19 micheal hooper, 20 nick white, 21 c leilifano, 22 israel folau

on the back of the brumbies and reds performances to date, i dont think the wallabies will have too much trouble beating the reds, this is a class squad and lethal starting XV.

the lions arent the only ones who need to watch out, the All Blacks & Boks would do well to do their homework against the yellow dinky di's.

Strong match 22 saSUE. But why Mogg ahead of Israel Folau? Mogg could oust O'connor at 15?

Polynesianss are adding some extra bite to Wallabies as I predicted a few years back. Lions are in for a big challange. Oz could also win 4 nations. We shall see.
