The biggest problem for the Wallabies now in the wake of their World Cup loss to Ireland is the quality of the remaining opposition... unless the USA can bustle them as the Irish did we won't learn too much in their next two games about possible new combinations or players who 'put their hand up' for a forwards spot!!
My thoughts... whatever it takes Pocock and Moore must play in the big matches!! and the bigger solution to a problem is Berrick Barnes at inside centre. McCabe is OK but Barnes gives another option alongside Cooper, for clearing kicks, point of attack etc.
They must commit another man to the rucks and work out how to get forward so Genia has space to organise... that was the killer against Ireland. They played really well!
What of the pathway to the Final... it will be tougher but wow, what a Cup it would be if we make it!!
They can hope for Italy to upset Ireland but on the other side of the draw the French loom as yet again the All Black achilles heel!! Viva La Francais!!

I think France could do NZ. They are the blacks bete noir.
Curiously Eng seem to do ok v aus in world cups and poorly against NZ.
From an eng viewpoint we need sa or aus or france to beat nz, sa to fall to wales or aus and then eng to face aus and win.
not very insightful.Not feeling too well.
The irish are totally unpredictable. when they are on form and passionate they are a match for anyone. most of the time they are dreadful. England spurn so much good possession with too flat or too deep back lines. No one running at great angles to take the ball. You guys are best at this.
Your scrum looks its usual rubbish.
Could be fascinating...
