if its the same Timani that played for the Rising last w/end when Cheika was there watching I doubt he will make the bench(probably will though)

Bledisloe 1 had Rona, Kerevi and Speight at 11,13 and 14 respectively. On the bench covering them were Hodge and TK. DHP wasn't considered because of his bicep injury.
Bledisloe 2 Kerevi got banished and DHP was healthy again. So it was Speight, TK and DHP at 11,13 and 14. With Rona demoted to the bench still with Hodge there.
So now we have DHP out again, presumably Kerevi is still on the outer, so he won't come onto the bench. You'd imagine that Rona will come into the starting side. Hodge will stay as super sub and Koroibete will start from the bench.

Where are these teams you are talking about?
My understanding is that none of them get named until after the Wallabies are announced.

fox have already named the Brisbane City team for their NRC game against QLD Country, Kerevi not named in the 23, which is usually a sign that the player was called up by Cheika, same for Koroibete, not named by Rising for their match against Drua, i won't be surprised if Hodge is dropped and Kerevi and Koroibete take Jersey 22/23 OR Hodge could take Jersey 15 moving Folau to wing partnering either Speight or Rona (Rona wasn't really good in his last test)

lol yea one wishes, may be in the training group right now, teams will be named in 25 minutes. I really can't see Rona starting in this game but i do see Marika getting a nod ahead of Rona. Boks play with pace, he could be an asset
Under Ewen McKenzie, our lineout success rate was was 91%. Short lived period, but one where it was literally our strongest facet of play.
Obviously our scrum was a work in progress back then.
Unfortunately, I see our scrum getting decimated this weekend. The Saffa's are on another level.

Your criticisms seem devoid of ideas.
Who would you have? There aren't really many players knocking on the door.
