I don't think they will do the kick chase game, except in very specific circumstances such as when Digby is the only defender back there. But I fully expect them to kick a lot for the corners, to make use of what I expect to be a significant lineout dominance, especially if Mowen is selected as starting 6. If he is they will only know how good he is on defensive lineouts from video. I expect that the Wallabies will play a semi deep back three on defence to try and cut that down but then will come the running threat of North (and here the BIL will feel the loss of Bowe).
I would also expect them to put up a few bombs to Kurtley as they will have seen that he drops as many as he catches, as does JOC (James O'Connor) historically. Folau they will only know from video and from my viewing he has dropped one kick this year.
I see the BIL as a very balanced side indeed with threats as a team across the park. The Wallabies have individual threats and team work in attack hasn't been a big part of the side since before 2011.
