Whatever the outcome of the Wales game it is time for Scott Johnson to depart and put the salary toward Union development players no league rejects. Spend the money wisely.

I think that Scott Johnson has on the whole been a crazily needed centre of common sense within the Wallaby coaching structure. Sure, he may not be needed to the same extent now, as we have needed his role previously.

But it is a bloody good investment.

How can you tell? It's pretty hard to figure out exactly what it is he does/has done.

HE tamed Cheika to a large degree. And in the early days of Rennie was very verbal - and isn't anymore.

It would be a worry if you could map his commercial input through social media.

Yeah not saying we should know - just pointing out it's pretty hard to judge

Taming Chekia, the role only came into existence because of weak leadership from the CEO and Chairman at the time. Coaches you back or sack them you don’t give them a baby sitter.

No Lolesio is interesting. Beale the backup 10.
If Arnold can get his bum down we should smash their scrum. It looks like we are going to try and beat them into submission.

Beale probably plan B, if it was a super game I’d say that it is Foketi, not sure about a test match though. He’d be plan C though.

Rennie is a good coach... he’s picked Beale and dropped Lolesio altogether....didn’t expect that at all. I suppose experience is needed but Lolesio might be on the outer... I thought Perese should have been included....

Ain't that the truth. We have absolutely no way of knowing what might have happened without Johnson. What we do know is that, notwithstanding the difficulties we have been through, we know seem to have a decent coach and a potentially strong team.

Interesting team:
- I hope Samu can replicate his good form from the bench for 80 minutes. I worry he’ll be ineffective for the whole game.
- Here’s to Daugunu not doing anything silly and doing some mad shit, hope he cements it as his own. Much more balanced back 3 in my eyes. Beale is there as only one standing.
- Would’ve wanted to see more Perese. Oh well, congratulations to Foketi.
- Hopefully Latu doesn’t knee cap anyone, that scrum has potential to be dominant.
- prediction here first: Skelton to do some wrecking ball stuff in the final 20
