    The Wallabies could pick a 23 to snatch this fixture. True to form, they'd be pretty crap the next game.

      Worryingly this is how it went down in 07.

            Both the teams lack consistency, Aus more than England I feel. Either side can take this one, it really depends which England team show up and which Aus side. England marginal favourites but they have been somewhat brittle over the last couple of seasons. Not confident but pretty hopeful.

                      They have a hunch like @sparky and @MiketheSnow or are they using regression modelling?

                        I didn't think the Wallabies would beat England in 2015 either, and they flogged the fuck out of them.

                        I reckon this will be tight as hell. If the Wallabies can stop Tuilagi galloping over the advantage line, they are a big hope.

                            On the flipside England will need to stop Koroibete and Kerevi from galloping over the advantage line as well. If the Wallabies forwards can slog their guts out to get some parity those two can wreck havoc.

                              absolutely. I think i would probably play O'Connor at 13 though, he is a calm head, and feeds the outsides well. Accurate tackler is another benefit.

                              Edit: Whoops, i mixed up my Fijians and read Kuridrani.

                                  Doesn't seem clear to anyone I'd say. Foley is out of form. Lealiifano doesn't appear to be able to make the step up. Toomua too often plays like the second five-eighth he is.

                                  That being said, I'd play White, Toomua, Kerevi and JOC

                                    Yeah - in a game with no cards, I've got England winning by 10+.

                                      If Beale is NOT passed to play (ha ha), I would put DHP at FB, and AAC on the wing.

                                      Yeah that backrow is more about mobility than size, but bothing to lose, so fuck it.

                                      England are going to eat up our one-out running bullshit, and unless Cheika has a waterproof (airtight?) powder cabinet, we're out to the tune of 15 points.

                                        @NTA Where's Simmons in your list?

                                        Has there been a more maligned player to reach 100 tests?
