Quade Cooper. Now's no time to throw an inexperienced flyhalf into the mix, regardless of Coopers last international performances, he's been a standout in recent weeks in the Super 15 competition so just needs to lift his game for the Lions. PLEASE do NOT put O'Connor at #10, he was a sitting duck against Rene Ranger and George North and co will have a field day against him - James' defense has average at best this season.
On form, Cooper is the best running around in the Australian franchises. Him and Genia should be the first picked. But Deans will have a different view. I feel he'll want O'Connor at 10 and McCabe at 12. After Cooper the next best peformed five eight is Foley but he won't get a look in.
james o'connor never has a bad game but kurtley beales looking solid too but he does have bad games. so james oconnor
