Both sets of coaches are under the cosh. I read the Aussie rugby media gave Eddie a real slamming for last weekend's shockingly uncompetitive performance against a 2nd XV Boks outfit. Gatldand had a v poor 6 Nations. He has dumped the veterans with whom he had been successful and is now forced to select relatively inexperienced team excepting Faletau. He's going to try the 2011 RWC formula, ie bringing a young, inexperienced captain and trust the youngsters.
Still worried about you guys at the World Cup
