Skelton needs 30min and they MUST keep it in tighter for longer.

Latu, Tupou, Skelton, Leota, Valetini, Samu. Let's USE that size and not pass the ball away from it too soon.

This is a Wales selection missing several preferred options but they know their game plan and will be hard in close, fast out wide.

If we hold the ball for long enough in the right areas, and keep our penalty count in single digits, we can win.

Going to need a very disciplined performance and JOC (James O'Connor) kicking needs to be on target. This is an absolute must win, Wales are well and truly depleted.

I must say it's much better to reside here rather the the front page, where every day we get the same posters unloading their vitriol on anyone or anything that's ever been associated with the Tahs. I get that people have a bias towards their own team, as I have, and there are certain players they either like or don't like, but at least here it's done with some sort of rational analysis!

Key is not to go on that dumpster fire.

Concerned about the ability of JOC (James O'Connor) to play 80. If he goes down early we are in real strife.

Very happy for Foketi and Daugunu. Very disappointed in no Perese.

Big pack, hopefully they can have their best performance of the tour and get some real dominance. It'll be interesting to watch a wallabies game without Hooper involved.

I’m concerned JOC (James O'Connor) will try to play flatter and that jammy Welsh 9 with absolute pace will do his little intercept magic trick like he pulled twice at the RWC.

Rennie is a good coach... he’s picked Beale and dropped Lolesio altogether....didn’t expect that at all. I suppose experience is needed but Lolesio might be on the outer... I thought Perese should have been included....

Beale is picked at fullback and Lolesio is a specialist 10 only. I don't think it reflects Lolo is on the outter at all, Beale covers 10,12 and is basically last man standing at 15. Having a specialist 10 on the bench doesn't provide much flexibility.

I don't think the selection says Rennie prefers Beale at 10 over Lolo at all. It just says he prefers utilities and flexibility on the bench rather then too many specialists.

He has mentioned this a fews times with choosing players like Samu over McReight as Samu covers 6,7,8 over just a 7.
