Is Krusty playing mind games? He's only named 23 in the squad.
Two weeks in a row now. The tactic didn't work against Wales yet still he persists.
Maybe 23.5 is the magic formula?I think you’d need to consider this in percentage terms. Eddie?

well, that's interesting. I wonder how much the result last weekend had in determining the selections for this weekend?
That's a lot of first choice players that have played a lot of rugby, and with England next week, surely some would have been earmarked for a rest? Or is this a test run for 3 knockout games next year?
Foley at 12? AAC back in?
They just desperately need a win don't they? Which they'll get, because Italy are shit.

Never underestimate our ability to play at the opponent's level, when that opponent is shit.

I can't see the Wallabies playing that poorly. They'll finish this tour with a win.
Although, imagine if they didn't...

Jordan Petaia won't make his test debut this weekend. He has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury and is replaced by Marika Koroibete,
Also out is Rory Arnold, who suffered a fractured eye socket during training. Rob Simmons takes his spot on the bench.

At last, a score.
After the Qantas Harmless Wallabies offer, for half an hour, a fair imitation of League - pass, pass, get tackled; pass, pass, get tackled; and again until they reach the panic zone 10 metres out from Italy's line where they either drop the ball or gift a scrum penalty.
