Is pretty much the way i would go. Maybe Tongan Thor on the bench because he does add punch.

A lot of Australians are very pessimistic about this.

Awesome - my daughter's birthday party coincides exactly with this game. Wonder how good the wifi is at the local bowling alley?

@mariner4life I would have thought Salakaia-Loto would have lost any chance of starting after Bledisloe 2.

Nah - the problem with food poisoning is you use it as a crutch to explain poor performance roughly forever.

England and Australia get Garces as ref.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean plus his compatriots as ARs and Skeeny as TMO....

I wouldn't call Peter Sellers skinny.

Good luck Aussie.

If a match is going to end in controversy it could easily be this one.

It suits England’s tabloids more for them to be shafted.

Really want Aussie to get up for this one Perth-style, think England will be a tough SF opponent (if we beat Ire) if they're high on confidence from winning well.

I just want all our Southern neighbors to beat the UK teams. And of course I think we have a better chance against Aus than England. I'd love to see them pull out a Perth game.

What about Ireland? You didn't mention them.....just the UK teams....

I believe he's a Kiwi....so the question should really be who's he supporting in the SA/Japan clash shouldn't it? I guess Brexit could change things for NI though huh.

He only made his Test debut two weeks ago but 19-year-old Jordan Petaia will make a shock start at outside centre in the Wallabies’ Rugby World Cup quarterfinal against England.                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                        In the biggest selection bombshell in Australian World Cup history, Petaia — who scored on debut against Uruguay — will replace James O’Connor at No 13 in Oita on Saturday, foxsports.com.au understands.

They've clearly not leaned from our mistakes

[Bovidae]

So a Toomua-Kerevi-Petaia combo?

If this move is to counter the size and power of Tuilagi then why not Kuridrani?
