I think I understand why Eddie put this team together and in his position I would do something very similar. It does seem to mark a changing of the guard and I think he wanted players who will offer a bit different whom he can instruct to just do their own things without him needing to construct a comprehensive game plan when there wasn't enough time to do so.
But, even so, it is one of the least experienced Wallaby sides ever, and I fear that will be obvious in the final score against France. Probably will be still in the game with 20 to go, perhaps down by 12 - 14, but I expect it to blow out to a 50 scoreline against us by the end.
