Wallabies coach won't nominate his No.10

Australia coach Robbie Deans remains tight-lipped on who will get first crack at the
key playmaker's role this year as the Wallabies prepare to unleash a new brand of
risky rugby.
Quade Cooper emerged as a world-class five-eighth for the Reds this season while
Matt Giteau, the Wallabies' incumbent No.10, has played his best rugby for the
Brumbies at inside centre in 2010.
Deans is tempted to take the Reds' powerful halves combination of Will Genia and
Cooper straight into the Wallabies' set-up but said he was still weighing up his
options.
"There's no doubt they (Cooper and Genia) will be familiar with each other and
confident with each other off the back of what they've been doing," Deans said in
Perth on Monday.
"But we have a number of options there (at flyhalf).
"We've now got choice, whereas we didn't have choice a year ago.
"That's great, it's a good problem to have but more importantly it's a good solution
to have.
"Injuries and form won't derail our program.
"It does give us the ability to be flexible in our squad."
Surprisingly, Genia declared Giteau deserved first dibs on the No.10 jersey ahead of
Cooper.
"I think Quade has had an outstanding season but you still have Matt Giteau out
there and there's no doubting the class of him," Genia said.
"He's been so good for so long and anyone with that standing ... and that ability
should have first crack."
Deans said the strong performances of the Brumbies, Waratahs and Reds this season,
plus the good form of Matt Hodgson, David Pocock, Nathan Sharpe and James O'Connor
at the struggling Force, had the Wallabies in good shape with the 2011 World Cup
less than 16 months away.
"There's no doubt we're developing depth and that's evident in the performances of
the franchises," he said.
"From a selection perspective we've got to make some decisions this year that we
haven't had to make in the past."
The Wallabies scored just 19 tries in 12 Tests last year but Deans promised fans
they would see a more attacking unit this year due to the new interpretations around
the breakdown.
"I think you'll see less conservatism, a lot more willingness to attack," Deans said.
"We don't want to come close, we want to get home.
"We'll be prepared to take risks to achieve that."
The Wallabies kick off their international season against Fiji in Canberra on June 5
before facing off against England (in Perth on June 12 and Sydney June 19) and
Ireland (in Brisbane on June 26).
"We are developing a really good tradition against England, it's becoming not unlike
the Ashes," Deans said.
"The Cook Cup has become an important contest for us and in recent years we've had
some really tight tussles."
