Greg Growden, of the Sydney Morning Herald , casts his eye over Robbie Deans' Wallaby XV which will face Samoa.
"Meet the Wallabies' ''holding pattern'' Test XV.
No one should start believing the Wallabies have taken a radical detour down a back alley by including so many new names to play Samoa at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, because it has more to do with resting numerous overworked Super Rugby champions and experimenting in several positions while they can.
Normal transmission will resume next week when Will Genia, Quade Cooper, David Pocock, Kurtley Beale and James Horwill return to the Test starting line-up, when the season steps up a gear with the first round of the Tri Nations against the Springboks in Sydney."
