Not the biggest

Greg Growden is hoping that brains can triumph over brawn in the Tri-Nations midfield battle in The Sydney Morning Herald.

"The Wallabies midfielders are praying that speed and brains, rather than size and brawn, will keep the Springboks and All Blacks at bay during the Tri Nations.

"As the Australians attempt to climb off the bottom of the Tri Nations ladder, they know their midfield will hardly scare their opponents in the height and weight category, as they are one of the smaller Wallabies attacking combinations of recent times.

"And due to injuries and lack of options, there are no glaringly obvious alternatives to help increase the size of the midfield and outside backs in the short term."
