      Aussies name their side tonight

      As usual they seem to drip feed a few selections via the media. Tupou in for Alaalatoa, Will Skelton might come straight into the starting xv and White at halfback

        I’m off to this game. Look forward to seeing how France play. I expect a crowd full of expectation given France are a decent chance to win next year

                Who’s the reserve TH? Skelton behind Thor is quite some beef.

                  @pakman Robertson plays both sides.

                  That’s not a bad Aussie side. Good to see Hooper back. The last time I saw Skelton play was in that Baabaa’s match and he looked fit and firing.

                  Tom Banks on the wing is not ideal

                    That's Tom Wright.

                    Tom Banks has an injury I believe.

                      Sorry, yeah Tom Wright. I’m not sure wing is his right position even for a league convert.

                        He finally did something good in breaking out for a great try to us

                              France slowly waking up with a bit of possession - our discipline slipping at the breakdown. Good maul defence tho

                                  Fucking hell look after the ball you idiots

                                  Some very ordinary ruck technique led to the pressure causing that try

                                      Had Kellaway taken the ball back over the line then = 5m scrum, but saved by the bell and HT?

                                        Yeah. Or if he'd just dived on the ball, or hacked it dead

                                              Aussies got to stay within that 7 point buffer and they are a punchers chance
