It is a development game where teams play their b side against baa baa. I think bb you are personally rattling the cam a little too hard on this subject. We know your views on this but surely some more important things you could focus on.

I'm still waiting to see who fills the 4 or 5 bench spots that are still vacant. Had hoped to see Zack Holmes get a call up, but the French beat us. Not sure who Klimin and Kilman are, but I'm glad to see Peter Kimlin get a run, along with Ben Mowen. If there are no more rabbits to be pulled out of Cheika's hat, then there will be a few players from the main squad filling the bench.

Won't be Hanson as Ready and Charles are there. Presumably Hanson is still busted.
two of Mumm, Fardy & McMahon yes (2)
Will only be one of Speight, Naivalu & Morahan (1)
potentially one of Cooper & Godwin (1).
That's four. Not sure who the fifth would be.

On players to join...
Hanson still injured I believe - looks like the have the front row covered anyway.
Agree with the thought 2 of Mcmahon, Mumm and Fardy - however I suspect just Fardy unfortunately... see last point.
Hopefully Speight joins them - Morahan deserves his chance to shine again agains Ireland.
My eagle eyes spotted Quade on the bus to Bordeaux on a mates snapchat who is also there. If not playing I suspect Godwin.
A more recent snapchat showed LFG with them as well.
If that comes to fruition I would think something like:
1. Ryan
2. Ready
3. Robertson
4. Skelton
5. Carter
6. Dempsey
7. LFG
8. Mowen
9. Frisby
10. Lance /QC (Quade Cooper)
11. Speight
12. Godwin /Lance
13. Perese
14. Naiyaravoro
15. Kellaway
16. Charles
17. Lolohea
18. Fa'agase
19. Fardy
20. Kimlin
21. Stirzaker
22. Gerard
23. Koroibete
I'd quite enjoy watching that team run around.

Wallabies posted a video yesterday with the proclamation they were at Dublin airport. QC (Quade Cooper) is clearly seen chatting with Larkham about halfway through.
He may well play, but he's not in Bordeaux!
At the risk of inflaming QC (Quade Cooper) supporters, Quade playing in this fixture is a positive thing in my book, he NEEDS game time. Imagine if Foley cops a head knock against Ireland (the Irish 5/8 did last test and he's out), the thought of Cooper lining up against the Poms with with no recent game time horrifies me. Good squad management by Cheika.
Fardy surely has to get a start wearing 6 against either Ireland or England. I won't bang on about this again.
Has Gill joined to troupe?

News to me if LFG has joined the squad, but would be a bloody good pick if so.
Quade must be uncertain given the state of his ankle in the photo on Facebook last weekend. If he's fit, then there is a lot to be said about him getting good game time before the England test, but I'd be surprised then if he isn't on the bench v Ireland. If he's not fit or as speculated on his way to Bordeaux, then as far as I can see, Godwin must be on the bench v Ireland to cover 10, 12, 13. There is noone else outside Quade and Kyle for this role.
Despite the controversy surrounding his inclusion in the touring squad, I think Koriobete must start this match just so the coaches and fans can get a good idea of his capabilities.

That one i definitely saw. He could just be catching up with them however its a fair distance for him to go from Toulon.

In the (very) few Toulon games I've seen recently he's been playing quite well also so I imagine they would be reluctant to release him if they didn't have to. They are generally not that keen to release players even when they do have to so it would seem unlikely. If he has been seen with them though, that would be cool. Love watching that guy play!

Funny thing is the commentary is in French but they are trying to find something in English
