Beating the Wallabies isn't really making history these days..

I think Philip ought to be locked in. Definitely one of our most consistent players and has the physicality at test level Swain and Frost don't.

Forgot about Neville - fair point. I reckon Rennie is just trying Arnold out to see what he can bring while he has the chance. I personally wouldn't be surprised if he was ultimately discarded.

They are talking about how everyone mispells Valetini's name.

you are way off base here...

Some combination of Philip, Swain, Frost and Arnold. Possibly Rodda comes back in.

Most slots are pretty firm IMO. Just not 6, 10, 14 or 15.

Decision making is a key attribute for a fullback.

Very much a winger though. Fullback he is not.

Bugger. Taylor is supposed to be very well regarded, no? Wallabies are dropping like flies.

Ben Smith was incredibly elusive. Beat the first tackle basically every single time.

Nic Bishop seems to agree: https://www.theroar.com.au/2022/08/19/coachs-corner-the-big-question-mark-over-tupou-leading-into-boks-series-and-how-riche-led-foster-to-salvation/ Perhaps it's Philip, Arnold and Frost then. Either way - Philip comes back in.

Not keen on Jock at 15. He seems too small for test footy without having the elusivity someone like Kolbe relies on to compensate.

Not fussed about Arnold tbh. Philip, Swain, Frost. Back three should be Koroibete, Kellaway and Wright with Vuni on the bench.

You'd surely be lining up one of the Tah boys? Harrison will be struggling to get back in at 10 after his injury and with the extra experience Donaldson and Edmed are getting. Worth a shot. Presumably not for next season though.

Our aerial work hasn't existed since Folau left and our outside backs generally take poor counter-attacking options. Out of hand kicking pretty damn poor too. Be more worried about that than the penalty lottery scrum. As far as i can tell no team ever really dominates another in modern scrums...

Wasnt Gits picked pretty early?

Think there are rules about banging on and on about the same thing forever.

Kellaway and Bell coming back will make a huge difference.

Wow - never thought we'd see him again.
