Craig HillWallabies: Larkham or not, He's The Perfect 10 to be sure, to be sure.
November 16th 2006 15:51
Exciting news from www.sportal.com.au
Larkham (sigh) is back where he belongs...on my pedestal.
He's back in the #10 jersey...he should never have left.
Why don't the selectors just listen to me? They could save themselves so much grief. I have said in my previous posts that placing him at #12 is wrong, all wrong.
Larkham may have the ability to play the whole backline but his brain is needed at #10...by him and by everyone else...all I need now is a permanent Larkham Cam.
Please note, Flat Rogers is nowhere to be found.
What did I tell you?
Doubters...read and weep...
"Stephen Larkham will play in his usual position for the first time on the Wallabies Spring tour after he was named at No.10 for Monday morning's Test against Ireland in Dublin.
With Wallabies coach John Connolly keen to see Lote Tuqiri play in the centre alongside Stirling Mortlock, it meant Larkham and Mat Rogers were in a battle for the flyhalf position for Australia's third Test on tour.
But with Rogers playing indifferently in the pivot's role in the first two Tests, Larkham was given the chance to see how he combines with former Brumbies team-mate Matt Giteau, who has again been named at No.9, in the halves."

"Wallabies hooker Brendan Cannon has been ruled out of Monday morning's Test against Ireland in Dublin due to a neck injury.
The 33-year-old, who suffered a debilitating neck injury in the Super 14 this year, injured his neck at training this week. He was given until Friday to prove his fitness but medical staff ruled out the veteran hooker.
Cannon's Western Force team-mate Tai McIsaac will start at No.2 with Queenslander Stephen Moore coming onto the bench as the reserve hooker."
