Some good signs in the trial game, albeit hard to judge given the opposition. Grayson Makara though is a gun and it is time for him to be given a spot in the 23. Looks like they want to play Pasitoa 10, Kuenzle 12 and Godwin 13 though

Disappointing that we won't get any home games for awhile now but if they need any inspiration they can look at how well the scorchers have gone and the Wildcats to show you can turn it into a positive

Maybe it is just a sign that Force fans are pumped about the new season and excited about all our new players and what they have to offer. I am sure the Waratahs forum is a lot more depressing because they know they are going to be sh1t whereas Force fans have higher expectations and more...

Squad looks good. Ollie Callan was very good when he got a chance last year and McCaulay after spending off season playing in UK should have improved as well. Very excited to see all the young players and who can step up. Fines must start and I am predicting to be in Wallabies set up...

Looking forward to seeing Daugunu back in action. Not sure about the rationale of dropping perese and keeping Wright Feel sorry for Phillip and Swain who have been discarded for the whole tour after doing nothing wrong

Thought he would give Perese the start after his impact, deserved it over Beale. Our locks and back row need to step up this game England an inexperienced bench, new boy at 10, center on the wing, so not only us with some potential issues

Valetini had what 1 run for 0 metres on the weekend?

I still scratch my head that we don't have Harry Wilson as an option for number 8. The guy just gets the job done and gives us go forward which we aren't getting. Anyway, maybe Rennie will pull a surprise and pick Perese or Foketi in the centres. We know what we are going to get out of...

I still don't know why Tupou starts from the bench. He is one of our only game breakers especially with no Kerevi and Koribete so has to be on from the first minute. I get the idea of having an impact player but that is assuming everything goes perfectly to plan ready for him to come on...

Yep pretty happy with what he has gone for there. Really looking forward to seeing Arnold and Skelton. That’s a bloody good impact from the bench with tupou, Skelton and samu coming on

Rennie's normal tactic with the new players is to bring them back slowly and maybe introduce them from the 2nd game but I don't he has time to do that and the 2nd game is England so they need to hit their straps early. I would like to see Arnold starting and Skelton on the bench for this one...

Sounds good. I really think Fines will become a bolter for the Wallabies once he gets some game time. Great talent.

People need to stop getting carried away with recent wins. If Quade and Kerevi played against the all blacks we still would have got flogged. I am sure Noah would have preferred to play against Argentina as well. So the opposition needs to come into it when comparing players. I also see...

Just watched the London Irish game which has a lot of aussies in it. Curtis Rona played quite well, could be another option if desperate, covers wing and centers

I hope Kerevi is still around for the end of year tour otherwise we have a problem at 12 again. He is a massive part of our game plan now and has made a big difference and we don't really have a similar option. Maybe just chuck Koribete in at 12 to get over the gain line!

I am sure we will see McMahon next week. Rennie did a similar thing with Cooper and held him back that extra week. A lot of the fringe players will get to run out against Japan you would expect.

I agree it would be great to see McMahon but I am also liking what Pete Samu is bringing off the bench as well so would be a shame for him to be dropped. Would prefer to see Swinton dropped, Samu starting with McMahon on the bench.

I would like to see Wilson back at #8 for this game. Not overly impressed with Valetini and Swinton. Maybe give Samu a shot at starting or bring in Naisarani. Fainga'a should also be dropped for his ridiculous tackling technique

I don't understand how Wilson gets left out of the side. To me this guy is one of our best and will end up playing 100 + tests. I like Samu or even Naisirani off the bench but don't really see what a Valetini/Swinton combo is giving us.

this is pretty much the exact team I have been wanting to see. Fingers crossed we get close to it
