England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2.10am AEST

[KOB1987]

Have at it.

 

[Strewthcobber]

We going Skelton, Kerevi, Sua'ali'i and Edmed? Give the English analysts nothing

 

[Derpus]

It won't happen but it sure would be fun. Something like:

1. Bell 2. BPA 3. Tupou
4. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 5. Skelton
6. Uru 7. McReight 8. Valetini

9. Gordon 10. Edmed 11. Pietsch 12. Kerevi 13. Ikitau 14. Suallii 15. Wright

Certainly a bit more grunt and carry than we've had. Although it won't matter if we continue our defensive strategy of 'backpedal at a 90 degree angle at pace'.

 

[Thalium]

I’d like to see something like this

1. Bell
2. BPA
3. Tupou
4. Frost
5. Skelton
6. Williams
7. McReight
8. Valetini

9. Gordon
10. Donaldson
11. Kellaway
12. Kerevi
13. Ikitau
14. Potter
15. Wright

Suallii or Pietsch and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on the bench

 

[JackJill]

I think it'll be
1. Bell
2. Faessler
3. Tupou
4. Frost
5. Skelton
6. Valetini
7. McReight
8. Wilson
9. Gordon
10. Lolesio
11. Pietsch
12. Kerevi
13. Ikitau
14. Kellaway
15. Wright
16. BPA
17. Kailea
18. Alaatoa
19. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)
20. Gleeson
21. McDermott
22. Donaldson
23. I can't decide between Jorgo and Sua'ali'i.

I think Schmidt appreciates continuity in this team, believing that it builds connection, something Eddie Jones disregarded. All in all, dropping an inexperienced JAS into a hungry English side that had it's hearts shattered last week will be throwing the boy in the deep end too much. Instead, playing him against a side like Wales may allow him to find his groove and find confidence. Nevertheless, it beats putting him on against a firing Feyi-Waboso or Duhan Van der Merwe (if they choose to play him at wing, which looks likely).

First Test v England at Twickenham starting for young Edmed? As if! Sua'ali'i on bench possibly.

 

[A mutterer]

Skelton will come off the bench to the wing for sure.
