Why are the most creative players for their respective teams being ignored for robotic types of players? The sporting public are losing out, especially as the lions series would be that much better is there was at least a bench spot for these guys..any thoughts?Why are the most creative players for their respective teams being ignored for robotic types of players?

Yes a spot is needed in the Wallabies for Cooper but I think it might be too late even if O'Connor has a shocker on Saturday night against the Lions -- probably Barnes or Beale will be next in line. Not sure about Hook having the same X factor/ unpredictability skills as Quade and does Henson still play International rugby anyway ?

Cooper is the best of the three. I would include him in the Wallabies squad. Hook is probably a Welsh test player (although Biggar is better-no pun intended). Henson is overrated. You could throw cipriani in there as another example. But these last two are not test players at the moment.
