A minute's silence for Willie I would think.
That will probably happen at the RWC 7s. Armbands for the tournament I would think.

@Daffy-Jaffy Strong attention to detail in the coaching group when one of the players had to tell them that Marvel Stadium has a roof.......

I am just imagining the forward thinking how the fuck do the coaches not know it has a roof as they start to plan for wet weather rugby. Fuck me.

And someone else whose name escapes me

Is this game on a Thursday?? I might be wrong but the last midweek test against Aussie I can recall was Jeff Wilson vs Gregan. Pretty sure that was midweek.

You might just be the first person to pick up on that

And then tell everyone

I don't think it will sell out but if they can get a crowd of over 50k that would be a good result.
Rugby Australia are forecasting an attendance of over 50,000 for just the sixth time in Wallabies’ Tests at the venue, dating back to 2000.

So ... when is the team named for a Thursday game?
Normally Thursday for Saturday, so presumably Tuesday for Thursday?
Prediction: largely unchanged XV (except for forced loose forward changes) and minor tweaks on the bench
I would think tomorrow but the BF RWC Squad is being named tomorrow on a YouTube channel and there’s no mention of the ABs announcement

Wallabies are named on Tuesday. I would expect the same for ABs.

Rennie seems intent on getting the band back together, so i am expecting call ups for Adam Ashley Cooper, Drew Mitchel, Scott Fardy and Rob Simmons to join Kurtley and Foley.
Also Pocock to play 8
