I have a hunch that Vunivalu might be in the XV.

There's no hunch needed for that. It's quite likely given everything we know/seen.

“We feel that particularly the way the game’s going, having a halfback who can defend like a back-rower at the end of the game is a particular advantage,” Jones said at his World Cup squad unveiling.

Oh wow, yeah this is exactly what Luke Burgess was giving us 2009-2011.

We used to have a barrister frequent the forum but I don't think he was a QC (Quade Cooper) (Quade Cooper).

I'm disappointed that France contained Bell, Tupou, Skelton and Valetini so easily. But if we roll out that same forward pack, I think Georgia are in for a tough night despite their famed wrestlers. We'll be asking the big boys to go long into the game with Pone and Slips both injured. I would like Koroibete to start on the wing if Kerevi isn't fit in time. Without Kerevi (and Koroibete) our backline lacks a bit of pure muscle, line bending. Though saying that, I think Vunivalu is deceptively strong in the upper body.

Did they so easily contain Bell, Tupou, Skelton & Valentini?, Bell & Valentini carried strongly and we did a number on them at scrum time

Yes I thought the big boys actually did very well ball in hand. It was the ruck and maul inaccuracies and infringements that halted all momentum repeatedly

If we are honest France played well within themselves giving nothing away of what their level will be from this weekend on.
Hopefully we did the same -)

The Wallabies coach has toyed with playing Jordan Petaia at inside centre this year, believing his strength in contact and skill set could be used in a similar way to All Blacks star Jordie Barrett.

It would be a bold play, but it could also potentially allow Andrew Kellaway to shift to outside centre and Max Jorgensen the chance to debut at fullback.

Surely not. Kellaway is just getting into the groove at fullback, same for Petaia. Let them string a few games together please before fucking with the team. Jorgensen at fullback with two players out of position sounds like an absolute chance for a boilover against Georgia.
