They'll be the interesting and debatable ones

Is this an A game, and the players get locked in, or because the Frenchies nominate their U20s it counts for jack shit and Tupou should be playing?

So, who are the likely 4 or 5 yet to join the Squad from Dublin?

Hanson (if fit); one or two of Mumm, Fardy and McMahon (if fit); two of Speight, Naivalu and Morahan? Seeing that 19 and 20 appear to need to cover lock and No 8, would that indicate Mumm and McMahon for Bordeaux?

Brumby Runner - Looks like they had a plan all along and not stuff up the preparation for the ireland game.

Of course if McMahon and Cooper are injured then it may happen that someone has to double up but I doubt it.

It's Wallabies XV not Australia A - no caps.

Thor isn't eligible under IRB residency rules until next October (I think).

I guess the IRB may still consider this some form of Australian rep side even without caps? Would not be the weirdest thing they have done.

The Fox article says its not being televised. That means someone will have set up a camera, or several, and then stream it somewhere. Who might be convinced to do that would be pure speculation, but I'm not holding my breath.

can we assume from his absence that Toby Smith is now back in the main Wallabies selection - in for an out of form ? injured ? Slipper.
ps Gerrard much more likely to play on the wing and Perese and Naiyarvoro in the centres

My question is more around the lines of who and or what sets the selection criteria?

Given that it's neither a full international, nor an "A" fixture, why not call it "Australian Barbarians" rather than Australia XV and play Tupou.

Smith is going home. Head clash with McMahon training before Paris test.

Yes, it's a (minor) setback for Tom. He's come a long way this year, and we mustn't forget Allan A'a'a'a's had more pro rugby than him. Personally, I hope one gets to wear the 18 jumper for the Irish test and the other for the Pommy one.

Good stuff. Does Mowen have any ref-whisperer abilities?

Mowens probably been the best ref whisper ive seen in oz.. He was some thinking wonderful for the Brumbies and Link saw him as good enough to get the wallabies job even with little test experience
