At 15 - I'd prefer DP or even Beale over him at 10, though.

I wouldn't be putting both on the bench, I'd probably go with Beale as 10 / 15 cover then select Pearse / Wright as the other backs.

I would really love to see Perese start at 13. I know Ikitau has been solid but I have a feeling it could be a similar situation to what happened with Kerevi and Paisami. Paisami was in fine form but Kerevi is just on another level.
I'm not saying he will be on Kerevi's level but if its a step up on Ikitau then that's pretty damn good and will give us some much needed punch in the backline....well maybe not needed but certainly more tackle-breaking opportunities.

Not unless the Brumbies 4th string hooker is injury free

Perese has defensive issues, Ikitau doesn‘t. Given they’re struggling for continuity in the back 3, i think it would be a mistake to throw further disruption into the mix by replacing the 13 with Perese.

You’re thinking Tom Lynagh, aren’t you.
Edit: actually, seems the ideal opportunity for a Tom & Louis Lynagh double act. The future is now.

That would be my starting team
Except I would swap Petaia and Kellaway

Rennie seems very reluctant to do that

at least he would have won a game this year, unlike anyone they could call up from the Tahs,

I think the thought around Duncan is that they really need another 10 in the training squad, even if they never make the match day squad. What happens if JOC (James O'Connor) get's injured V scotland?
They will bring in mutliple players most likely, it's not just about the best 23.

Yeah, happy to have him as a squad member. His decision making under pressure isn't great. Maybe he tightens it up on the big stage.
We're boned if we get another injury in the backs.
Cooper, Hodge, To'omua, Kerevi, Banks, DHP. Fairly sure that could've been our backline a couple years ago.

Petiaia at least played wing recently but not fullback. I think that is why Rennie would not want to throw him into full back in an important game as would be concerned of mental side damage would do to his confidence if had bad game at fullback. Hence let him try fullback for baa baas game which is less important and less pressure for him.

SMH tweeting Noah Lolesio has been called up
As the obvious first cab off the rank with the current playing roster why was he not taken in the first place, hindsight is easy but it made no sense not taking him to learn, I do not buy the sales pitch we were thrown about needing pre seasons....
Not sure when he will be available due to quarantine requirements
