Loos like cooper has to up his game to stay at test level. Barnes has to be the pick of the Aussies.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread
Yeah, the Oz match, that final belt by Wales was great, but they had a few missed opportunities to take it, so a bit of a shame they didn't.
Still, being a neutral, I still really enjoyed it. Shame about some of those injuries though, Cooper one looked pretty nasty, out for what, 6-7 months they said?
Anyway, the final is on at some ungodly hour down my way, so probably won't be able to get a copy of it till evening time, so I'll probably bow out of this thread till I see the final
