With Dave having picked Matt Giteau a while back in his All-Australian backline (what is up with that?) I’ve had plenty of opportunity to mull over the choice between Jauzion and D’Arcy at inside centre. 

D’Arcy is a special player with a good relationship with B’OD, but in the end - and particularly in light of Jauzion’s recent form - I decided to go for the Frenchman.

He’s a special player in the form of his life and to ignore him would be a huge mistake.

I’m still sweating on 9 and 14!
