Play him, don't play him.

Simple statistic ... Winner of Australia v Canada in the last game will go thru to the next round as we lead TD count 26 / 25.

I have made 1 major change to the lineup ....

The ladder standings for WC are based on TD count

Only need to win by 24 points. +24 for us, -24 for them, 48 overall difference.

Australia NT finished poorly, with Mitch Watt throwing 4 interceptions (something I don't think I have seen before in GI).

Positives from this campaign are 2 wins against Sweden, and a close first match against Canada. The team has improved on the first campaign and will be well placed for WC3, particularly if local teams can train up some quality CB's.

Negatives are that the NT was simply not good enough to proceed and as far as the coach is concerned that is a failed campaign.

As for my performance, I believe that I extracted what I could from the squad and had players well positioned. I failed to adequetly deal with the CB problem but feel that issue can be rectified with concentrated training by managers.

I welcome further overall performance reveiws from managers as that will only assist NT coach for WC3.
