Australia v England: Match III, SCG, Sat 16th July 7.55pm AEST

[Sword of Justice]

No 10 cover is a big gamble.

No 10 cover is a big gamble.

Hodge and, i suppose, one of Kerevi/Paisami.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Hodge and, i suppose, one of Kerevi/Paisami.

Like I said, no 10 cover.

Hodge and, i suppose, one of Kerevi/Paisami.

Hooper could do it!!!!

 

[cyclopath]

Hodge and, i suppose, one of Kerevi/Paisami.

So, pretty much none.

Hodge won against the darkness at 10.

 

[Dctarget]

Starting XV is a little weak but bench is fire

Like that team under the circumstances. Rennie and co have quietly built some depth, to the point where you don't look at a side under the injury cloud we're in and think we're going to get done by 50.

 

[Derpus]

So, pretty much none.

Well we would have someone to kick, at the very least.

Not sure JOC (James O'Connor) is that much better than Hodge as backup right now.

 

[RugbyReg]

How good is Slipper? This will be his 117th test and just when you think he's purely a bench player he stands up again and proves how bloody good he is. He's arguably playing as well as anytime in his career

Deserves to be dropped for his performance last match. Players need to know they're droppable if they pull out that rubbish.

Looks like Rennie wants to start and finish fast. Finishing scrum will be solid as will the starters
There are a couple missing from the English pack. I would say Hodge is as good a cover at 10 right now as JOC (James O'Connor).

I like it.

 

[Dctarget]

I’m pretty happy to have Wilson start, Leota has been reliable but not ground breaking. Wilson can really bring something else. Hope he has a great game.

JOC (James O'Connor) hasn't played well all year

 

[Lightblue]

Wrong thread I know but when is Australia A squad announced for final game v Tonga?

 

[Wilson]

Very happy to see Paisami hold onto the start, thought he was one of our best last weekend and one of only a few to consistently bring the physicality.

 

[Tah Man]

Like I said, no 10 cover.

The bloke who started at 10 the last time we beat the All Blacks doesn't count??

 

[Hardtackle]

Hooper could do it!!!!

Tate could do it

 

[John S]

DR is throwing the sink at the poms

 

[Derpus]

Funny how Hodge never starts the season in the 23, or even squad, but after a couple of games is always straight back in.

May not be the best back we ever produce but there's plenty to be said about versatility and resilience.
