    Skelton has played 30 tests for Australia, can you name a single memorable performance? That's probably the reason why he's not there, Joe is smart operator.

    Cheering for Australia, don't underestimate joe schmidt!

    Reimer and Tizzano are very good 7's at super level, both great prospects. Stewart very underrated and versatile inside back. Can cover virtually the whole backline off the bench. My side for 1st test Props: Kailea, Tupou Hookers: Faessler 2nd Rows: LSL, Frost Back Rows: Valentini, Wilson, Reimer Half Backs: Gordon Fly halves: Lolesio Centres: Paisami, Ikitau Outside Backs: Wright, Daugunu, Koroibete Bench: Bell, Alaalatoa, Pollard, Williams, McDermott, Lynagh, Kellaway

    Very wise of Joey to include some overseas reinforcements despite a predominantly Aussie based side against Wales (2) and Georgia (1). Welp, South Africa coming over is the litmus test for the Wallabies.
  • @AC-hu3xk
    They got the no arms tackle specialist back😅😅😅😅😅
  • @jonodeee_
    My bet is that Skelton is unavailable either contractually or due to fatigue like you said. I reckon we'll see him later on in the championship vs NZ. Super keen to see the Koroibete vs Mapimpi matchup again.
  • Correction Tim, Dupont has tour South Africa in 2017. Lost 3-0. May I say 2017-2018 was the worse period in South Africa rugby history.

    Wallabies are gonna bring about a new number 1.
  • Im nervous about this match as the Boks will be out to break the Brisbane curse. Our forwards will need to step up big time and do enough to get our backs good go forward ball. Lolesio will have PSdT running at him all night, and we cannot rely on Dud Donaldson.
  • @FG-ul6yi
    Luke Reimer is a beast. Watched the Brumbies this year and he always makes an impact. Maybe a bigger back row to start with and bring on Reimer with 30 to go? Maybe a more pragmatic option.
  • Big Will probably has niggling injuries, maybe small clean up surgeries.? Belly Fazz Nella LSL Frosty Booby V Junior ( Tom Hooper) Big Harry 6;2; split on bench Slips Pollard AAA Blythe Uru Reimer

    it's weird, in the world cup, I believe in our team, they are gonna win it, and they do. Our side of the world cup, I doubt they are going to beat a struggling Australia.
  • @RockyB334
    Wallabies will go unbeaten in the RC… easy work
  • Joe will turn Australia around from.the rott of Eddie Jones. Its gonna take time
  • The Top14 needs to be depowered by World Rugby. It's inconceivable that a premier side in test rugby is not able to send it's strongest side to the Southern Hemisphere.
  • Looks lite in pack.u need bruisers against Boks.Holloway should be in.Mcright a big loss.Boks will blitz Aussies by 20+points😅
