Wallabies vs Lions , 19th July Suncorp

[Shiggins]

Not playing has been good for us. Up to the lofty heights of 6th.

Can't believe Fiji beat Scotland

I can, Fiji are a seriously good team, especially at home. The Scots have shallow depth after the Lions players are gone, possibly an injury or two.
Thanks for the lift up the rankings from our Fijian brothers and the Poms beating the Argies away from home, our World cup draw could be more favourable.

Yeh good point. That's why I was suprised England beat argies 2 in a row as well.

Alright, that was Doran's take...

Here is Iain Payten:

I listened to the presser and heard what Doran heard. That is, it would be a 'surprise' if Valetini is there. Hope I'm wrong.

If Bobby is out, Langi is like free like. But hard to see see Skelton and Gleeson in the same pack, so wouldn't be too surprised to see Hooper or Williams at 6.

Scotland without their foreign legion aren't all that. Fiji with their players that have been poached by us and others would be innnncredible.

Conditions could end up a bit wet underfoot this weekend. Some rainfalls expected on Thursday night and into Friday. With the weather staying cool and potentially overcast it may not get a good chance to dry out.

Suncorp has luckily been without games for a few weeks now which should help the surface.

Dylan Pietsch must be close to being in the 23 as he was not included in the First Nations & Pasifika XV squad, and you would think that he would have been one of the high profile squad inclusions

Picking a back 3 between Wright, Jorgenson, Potter, Kellaway, Daugunu, and Pietsch is not a bad problem to have. I'd personally have any of them in my starting team!

Pietsch should be starting or bench, was way better than Daugunu...going to be awesome to see the team named..

I think the main issue there is that if we end up with the back three being Jorgensen, Potter, Wright, Pietsch then there's no coverage at centre.

I think Daugunu is still a strong chance at wearing the 23 jersey.

I agree that Pietsch was better for Force vs Lions than Daungunu was for Wallabies vs Fiji.
