Foley selected at No.10 for Wallabies in Bledisloe Cup opener
Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has thrown Bernard Foley a remarkable international rugby lifeline by naming him to start against the All Blacks in Melbourne on Thursday.

Beale and Kellaway to replace Hodge and Wright? Foketi for Paisami?

Samu for McReight and Beale for Hodge are a bit baffling to be honest

I can see Foley playing in place of Lolesio and possibly Foketi in for Paisami as both those blokes had head knocks last week. Hodge should be at 15. Kellaway could replace Wright logically. Samu is a 6/8 and we need a legit 7 against the darkness. McReight has consistently been one of our best.
Should be interesting. The silver lining will be that DR will see how much he needs to have either Hooper or McReight at 7. I reckon its a big step down at 12 as well.

Sheesh if McReight has been dropped he’s got all rights to be filthy.
He’s arguably been in better form than Hooper was before he decided to step back.
Fuck the Victorian narrative aspect if that’s seriously an angle they’re using to justify the Samu start. It’s never a factor when selecting teams for other games.
Regardless, Samu has been used pretty well as impact off the bench, not sure why you’d change that role in a crucial game.

I don't think Dave Rennie would give two shits about where a player is from when choosing who starts lol

Shows I know fuck all, once again.
Prediction: DR will cop the first serious scrutiny of his tenure when we get a falogging with this team.

That was part of his justification for picking Gordon over McDermott in Sydney - not starting a debate on these two, just flagging that he's specifically used the 'hometown hero' reasoning previously
Campbell doesn't have the bench flexibility or the ability to be that late game weapon, he is a starting 15

Foley probably isn't as bad as first thought. Basically it's him or Hodge. Noah might not be 100% after the concussion, JOC (James O'Connor), Cooper out. Donaldson, Edmed etc. aren't realistic option for a Bled 1 with no time with the squad.
Foley is basically last man standing.
