Spot on IMO

Is that apart from the 2 that he picked in his actual team?

Against the might of France?

Very true. I am surprised that against such weak opposition he didnt take a risk and pick a couple of your boys. Maybe he is saving them for the Aussies.

The current Aussie backline could make or break a few reputations this autumn.

The Aussie backline will rip to pieces any back-line that Tony Smith picks. They have done so consistantly since the great backline of 1992 of Steadman, Eastwood, Powell, Newlove, Offiah, Schofield and Edwards.
That backline would tear our current backline to pieces in my opinion.
