Ireland beat them pretty easily tbh in the WC. And I would have South Africa and France(when they actually show up) ahead of Aus. I would have Fal ahead of Jamie and Sean ahead of Lydiate

And i'm sorry but BOD should be automatic the guy is like another Forward in the rucks and was one of a few positives in our six nations disaster
always with the over the top aggression
anyways as for the rugby, france are not better than australia, nowhere near, france got the wooden spoon and are way behind aussie in the world rankings
whereas south africa and aussie are pretty close they same to be about even the past few seasons

BOD is past his best but he may yet make the side, its a tough call as jon davies, tuilagi and doctor jamie roberts are pretty immense players too in fine form

as for skipper. I would have been quite happy to see POC as skipper. BUT gats didnt go for it as he doesnt see him as a certainty to start the tests (mainly as hes missed most of the season)
POC and BOD and the likes of gethin jenkins , heaslip, adam jones, alun wyn jones have over 250 caps between them , so warburton will have massive support

in warburtons defence, he was a grewat world cup captain aged only 22, took wales to 4th place and won a grand slam and another 6 nations in his forst few seasons....gats is also used to working with him, hes a phenomenal professional athlete , a quiet man, but leads by example.
