Wallabies v England, Sat 11th June, 8.00pm, Suncorp Brisbane

[Marcelo]

Hodge on the wing would be a huge surprise especially with 3 specialist back three players in DHP, Morahan and Naya.

It will be very unfair with DHP, he deserves a starter spot

 

[jollyswagman]

Anyone know when we can expect the team to be named?

1pm allegedly.

 

[fatprop]

It appears Arnold with have that "Douglas" role. I can see the logic in that

We will need to dominate the advantage line on attack by accurate farken aggressive cleanouts.

This isn't against a side that will not commit and fan out at each ruck like the majority of Super Rugby sides

 

[Brumby Runner]

And, in answer to an earlier question, spider cam apparently will be in use in the first test.

 

[barbarian]

Poite is a positive for us. In the RWC Pool Game he let us get away with a lot at the ruck, allowing Pocock, Hooper and Fardy push the boundaries big time.

If he takes a similar approach it will help us slow England's attack.

I thought reports had

5. Launchberry
6. Itoje

Happy to see Farrell at 10

 

[Braveheart81]

This said that Launchbury was on the bench and Itoje was likely to move to 6 in the second half.

 

[fatprop]

Happier to see Folau at 15, 12 is too close to the action and he is better in those wider channels, I can see DHP pivoting arround to 15 on attack with Folau having a roving commission

 

[Braveheart81]

According to the GAGR snouts, here is the team:

1. Scott Sio
2. Stephen Moore
3. Holmes
4. Arnold
5. Simmons
6. Fardy
7. Hooper
8. Pocock
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. Horne
12. Kerevi
13. Kuridrani
14. Dane Haylett-Petty
15. Folau

Finishers:
TPN
Slipper
Kepu
Horwill
Mumm
McMahon
Frisby
Lealiifano

 

[KOB1987]

Just saw that too, let's see if it's right now!

 

[Viking]

If Cheika decides to go back to the 2 playmaker system in the future then i'd imagine this is also a Kuridrani V Kerevi test for the future 13 jersey.

A great squad. Looking forward to it.

I like it. Great centre pair.

 

[Tex]

Got a bit of the old Herbert and Mortlock vibe to it.

 

[Tex]

Ie. two blokes built like brick shithouses.

 

[Bairdy]

Loving that lineup.
Arnold, Kerevi, DHP thoroughly deserving of their starting berths

 

[Pfitzy]

Ie. two blokes built like brick shithouses.

Let's hope the defense is at least as good.

Pretty happy with team. Quite excited in fact!
