Now is the time for Wallabies coach Dave Rennie to pick a couple of bolters, writes David Campese.
Quade Cooper of the Wallabies passes during the Rugby Championship.
I'd like to see Dave Rennie pick what he thinks his best Rugby World Cup team will be against England and go from there - so if he's thinking about bolters, pick them now. It's great to have someone who is feisty but Tate is feisty without being overly aggressive. I'd also like to see White kick a bit less, that's when he's at his best.
A great example is Reece Hodge at the Rebels, he can play five positions but which one is he best at? I know our recent record against England is poor but let's not forget they came fifth in the Six Nations. Why not put a young guy like Donaldson in there and see how he goes? He'd be an unknown proposition for England as well.
At 13 I would have Kerevi's damaging running game although I don't love picking players from overseas. They haven't had the combinations, haven't played together for six months. They go into camp which is great but it's not the same as playing. I think that's where we've fallen down in the last couple of years, bringing guys in and out.
