Looks like a good team.
Holmes and Arnold deserved their spots in the tight five, and the backrow picked itself.
Am not sure why Horne was chosen as vice-captain instead of Hooper, but it may signal that McMahon will come on early for Hoops.
Well-done to DHP for getting the chance many have argued for, but his 2016 form could not be denied. He will be handy at the back when Folau goes up.
I haven't seen the England team as I write this but Watson and Yarde can shift on the wing, Nowell is fast-steppy and fullback Brown is no slouch either.
E. Jones would have been planning for lack of Aussie pace on the wings since the injuries to Speight and Tomane, knowing that Horne is not test winger-fast—and now that DHP is starting, Jones will be licking his lips.
Beware of the kick-pass - and the outside break, because the Poms are fast enough to take it.
Am surprised about Kerevi starting at 12, but if he was in the 23 he would probably have to start because of having just two backs on the bench.
I expected Hunt or Leali'ifano there (and would have preferred to see Kerevi make his debut only against a lesser team than England)—but it is what it is and I'm excited to see how he goes, and how his combination with Kuridrani works.
The bench looks strong with the obvious proviso that Frisby is a rookie.
Some would question the selection of Mumm, but every team needs some madness in it, provided it is channelled right.
But if he jumps on top of another maul I'd sack him for good.
My big concerns are deficiencies at the lineout and of the kicking game - or rather: the kick and chase game.
We suck at that.
