I think we have gone for mobility and the get off your arse attitude - ie workrate
The Irish will be well drilled and highly functional
I think Frost has been a revelation this year, but he has looked as if he has run out of juice and could be carrying too many expected niggles

Tupou rested is the only unforced change I disagree with. He's got two potential games left before a continuous conveyor belt of pain au chocolats directly into his mouth and we might never see him again. Get all you can out of him.
Samu was terrible, Tizzano's been a weapon. I like Daugunu over Toole, some real strength there.
Always happy to see Valetini start. 60 caps, good on you brother. Touch wood but a centurion in waiting.
That Irish team looks a bit undercapped but they still have 156 caps more than us across the 23. Beyond the rookie at loose head that forward pack is going to make it real tough for the Wallabies. Breakdown will be fucked, lineout with Ryan, Beirne, Baird v just Hooper and Williams.
Look, if we can bring them down to our level and we're still in at the 60th their bench looks nearly as shit as ours and we can maybe hang on. They've got Porter and Aki who give most of the experience to the bench and they're on the down curve of their careers.
An aside, it's a shame Mack's been injured so much. Surprised by his only 28 caps. Only 10 more than our relatively Test rookies Jorgensen and Daugunu.

wtf do you rotate when they have only played a couple of games and have one game left?
tupou and frost?
needed Skelton and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) for some go forward
Wilson lucky to be there
Shame as c gorden looked good
Backline will be 3 times better with ikatau three
Need to get the back 3 more involved

Irish pack to control the game. Backlines feel a toss of a coin and maybe slightly in Aus favour.
Don't think they'll be too concerned about a Prop on debut v AAA. He's not the biggest Prop going around but with Porter on the bench they'll be fine.
They'll play off Gibson-Park. Prendergast is a shovel it off distributor who I hope we try and run over the top of as he can be an all arms grabby turnstile at times.
