I would be surprised to see any unforced changes after last week with Valetini coming in the only exception... Having said that, might want to freshen things up for the second match depending how things play out.

Probably not be injured and playing better than the locks selected prior to the series...?

Not so much justice, but deserved selection on the back of a couple of games late in the Lions tour... I wouldn't expect him to crack the 23 ahead of Skelton, Frost, Williams and Hooper.

Are we still talking about Jack Debreczeni?

Who is this “passing” 12 that’s going to come into the team?

He's obviously not locked in to coming back, so hopefully that's the case...

Ikitau won't play at 12 for the Brumbies...

It's a shame to see L Hooper go before he had an opportunity to play, although understandable with the backrow stocks if Cale can stay fit... Unfortunately it might not guarantee his brother coming back if he chooses to return home in a couple of years.
