Expecting a couple of changes to the Argies lineup for this test. Hoping for another close one.

No.
I'm hoping the Wallabies win by 40, scoring tries that stun Gus Gould into silence and make Danny Weidler's stupid fucking head explode.
A performance that makes the ABs and Boks call off their game in pure fear and watch the replay from Sydney instead, handing over both the Bledisloe and TRC trophies in the process.

Notes:
Edmed's first start and first run on home soil - Lynagh out with a hammy strain
Paisami in for Ikitau - no reason given but assume they're resting him and working on depth.
Slipper's 149th cap. Robertson out altogether.
Williams in for Frost who has a sore back
LSL promoted.
Nasser in for BPA - no reason given.
-
Concerns for me:
Paisami is a penalty magnet these days and always goes looking for the big hit rather than the completed tackle. LSL off the bench late could be a source of penalties as well.
Hopefully both of them are given fairly strict instructions and precise roles to perform.

Hope Lynagh doesn’t become the Aussie Blackadder when it comes to fitness and injury
-
Ikitau has been playing very well. He got the Wallabies out of danger a couple of times last weekend and then was instrumental in creating go forward.
-
Will be interesting to see how the turf holds up considering this is the last sporting game at the sfs for a few months whilst they rip up the turf to try and fix the drainage problem.
Meanwhile Sydney had the wettest September day in 150 years on Wednesday
