I still have hope we will see a Genia/Cooper/To'omua inside combo against Fiji. However it seems unlikely
There is still hope. Cheika was clearly resting his first choice halves against USA

Yes, but doing it with Panache is worth a triple word score with "p" on the triple letter.doesn't matter HOW, surely being the first to win RWC three times would qualify as the greatest

More Blanco, less Amigo.

Better call in an injury replacement - Hanson or White?
Having a look at the photos from the Wallabies ND training camp and the comments by Bernie Larkham, I'm expecting our 'Best XV' for the Fiji game to look like:
Slipper, TPN, Genia, Holmes all bench locks. Then it comes down to To'omua, Beale, Cooper for the 1 of 1 or 2 backs on the bench and skelton/mumm for the second row and mccalman or palu for the loose cover.
- Sio
- Moore
- Kepu
- Simmons
- Douglas
- Fardy
- Hooper
- Pocock
- Phipps
- Foley
- Mitchell
- Giteau
- Kuridrani
- Ashley-Cooper
- Folau
I thought that also. I'm reluctant to call it 'unfortunate' though!Yeah the Orange shirts look to be the 1sts team. The footage and pictures I saw had Horne in orange and Mitchell in yellow unfortunately.

I also just saw a shot from the England camp that has Toby smith training with the 1sts. So I reckon Slipper will be rested completely, and at some point smith will come on and sio will go to hooker, to give both some contingency plan game time. TPN will be on the bench but might not be used unless necessary.

Fiji by 6.

Australia by 66.
Assume the roof is closed at Millennium for this game? In London at the moment it's freezing and pissing down - Cardiff forecast is 17C and rain on the day.
I think Fiji's recent results makes them a bit better than that.
06 Sep 2015 Canada 18 - 47 Fiji
21 Nov 2014 Fiji 20 - 14 United States
15 Nov 2014 Wales 17 - 13 Fiji
08 Nov 2014 France 40 - 15 Fiji
28 Jun 2014 Fiji 108 - 6 Cook Islands

Wales will be bricking it.
Fiji's Pacific Nations Cup results:
Beat Tonga 30-22
Drew with Samoa 30-30
Beat Japan 27-22
Beat Samoa 39-29 (GF)
Great attack, leaky defence. Aus by 30+ because you're better both in attack & defence than anyone on that or @Groucho's list with the possible exception of Welsh D.
Agree with @Groucho, tho, in that if Fiji's gonna cause an upset it'll be v Wales.
