He needs to tighten up his scrum work. Its inconsistent right now. Sometimes he dominates and at others get dished up by journeymen. Its a big work on for him this year so he will be a legitimate starting option

It was inexperience but they got away from it and will learn from it. Inexplicably the Welsh kept kicking it back?

The best thing about it was that it was the young blokes driving the bus for the comeback. A rookie front row holding their own and a young backline directed by Ikitau getting the win. Samu(not so young) and Tate upping the pace of the game. Great game to watch and congrats to the Wallabies.

Or Beaudy Barrett? Hes no mammoth.

Plus Hodge, Petaia, and Wright can move around if need be to bring Campbell on at 15. Looking forward to seeing how Donaldson goes with a start behind what is a decent pack.

Oh yes, Eloff a very handy back up. I think he will be eligible.

TT will be in a real race to be fit for the RWC. He struggled after his last injury break. This will make Pone a priority to have coming off the bench and also means they need to groom another TH. I suspect RA will let DR pick who he wants for the RWC, irregardless of where they play.

Maybe. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was not picked all year when available and Sio sporadically, although his form was excellent.

Rancid!

Latu needs to find God or something, and soon. When people are twisting and turning at the breakdown it is inevitable that there will be contact with the neck. They need to look at it and find a way to rule on those instances. I thought it was tough on FF (Folau Fainga'a). He realised and released, but too...

I reckon Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) might be the one. Even in the loss last week he looked comfortable physically and was able to play at speed. He and Koriebete will make a good pair of wings in time.

Which part? RH not included or that Neville was excellent?

No Reece Hodge? Maybe DR is looking for counter attack from the back 3? Pack looks good but also surprised Skelton is not starting. Neville was excellent when he came on last week so maybe not so surprising.

Thats harsh. He is no worse than Porecki and FF (Folau Fainga'a) in that respect. I think its his fitness level. He seems to struggle there a bit

By the same token he is the bloke that can score a try when there does not appear to be one there and also has good hands and vision. Swings and roundabouts. He has improved a lot since in the last few seasons. I’d start him to get ascendancy at the scrum and in the tight then bring Porecki on...

There is a great opportunity for Latu next year. He needs to keep his nose clean and play well consistently. He is excellent over the ball and his set piece is solid.
