It's alright... no new backs is disappointing... I think any of the following would really give the team a big boost in the outer backs:

Lelia Masaga
Hosea Gear
Israel Dagg

instead of:

Rokocoko
Wulf

Maybe they'll get it right before the Tri-Nations?

This is my first time as an unofficial selector... I know more about backs than forwards... I do however believe that this team can win every game through the end of the World Cup. My starting 15 for tests are in red, and 7 reserves in orange.
