Mumm rewarded
27 Nov 2009
Robbie Deans has promoted Dean Mumm to the starting line-up against Wales after his impressive performance in the midweek win over Cardiff.
Mumm captained the Wallabies to a 31-3 victory against the Cardiff Blues on Tuesday, which clearly impressed Deans. The lock now replaces Mark Chisholm in the second row.
Deans also made two other changes for Saturday’s clash at the Millennium Stadium.
Digby Iaone starts ahead of Ryan Cross in the midfield, while David Pocock, who was rested against Scotland, comes in for George Smith.
Wallabies – 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Peter Hynes, 13 Quade Cooper, 12 Digby Ioane, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Matt Giteau, 9 Will Genia, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 David Pocock, 6 Rocky Elsom (c), 5 Dean Mumm, 4 James Horwill, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Benn Robinson.
Subs: 16 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17 Matt Dunning, 18 Mark Chisholm, 19 George Smith, 20 Luke Burgess, 21 James O’Connor, 22 Kurtley Beale.

@FrenklyJ:
But like any coach will tell you its not one play where you win or lose. You have to play well enough the whole game to put your self in a position to win.

Its beautiful to see how saffas are soo jealous of Australia.
28 Nov 2009, 04:37 am
Scotland were lucky to survice last weekend. It was Australia who lost last week given the amount of ball, territory and attacking options we had. The only thing we failed to do was put the ball down.
In such an unlucky dominant performance our luck will turn..there is hope as we are crossing the line but not putting the ball down.
If we were not crossing the line, chances, I would be very worried.
Soon it will come…watch closely saffas!

@wallabie.: spot on Wallabie, they just need to keep it simple close to the line and the points will come. Not be selfish, let the ball beat the man, They’ve shown this tour that they are more than a match in almost every facet of play, Come on Boys, make this a big one

@wallabie.:
Gee, thats right one big burning desert? Lots to be jelous of hey!

@whatever:
It would seem so!!
By the way what is a “burning desert”?

excuses, excuses wallabie. All hot air as far as i’m concerned.
You can talk all you like but the game of rugby is in fact played on a field so unlik your boys prove themselves on the field there will be nothing to worry about for their Tri Nations counterparts and I dare say, Wales too.
