Anyone want a bet this is starting XV?
Moody, Taylor, Tuungafasi, Tuipulotu, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane (cpt), Savea, Smith, Mounga, Bridge, Goodhue, Ioane, J.Barrett, B.Barrett.
Let’s just say not my pick, but wouldn’t bet against it
it's not awful. but it's also not brilliant either.

Not enough Crusaders? Too many Chiefs? No DMac...

Not 100% sure about the rest.@Nogusta Beaudy hasn't done enough for me at 15 this year to warrent a start there. I think the form of both Jordan and Jordie will be too hard to ignore and I hope they both get selected.
I will have a little more faith in Foster if he has the balls to bench B Barrett but I've got a feeling Beaudy will get the nod somewhere in a case of getting the best players on the park.
Richie M deserves the first crack in the 10 jersey and same goes with Jordie a 15, let's hope it happens.

Not 100% sure about the rest.I posted the starting XV earlier, 4–15 is identical which suggests to me that my source is again 100% accurate, unless you are guessing,
-
I'm guessing they are expecting Aussie to be playing a tight game with plenty of kicking to corners, up and unders etc. The counter to that is having a back three who are all very safe under the high ball and with Barrett x2 and RM you would expect to win force backs with their boots.
I am hoping we see a very forward orientated game where we win up front first and suffocate the Aussies. I saw some promising glimpses in the NI vs SI game where the forwards seemed to be running a lot of plays themselves and doing interesting things.
The conditions/game plan just might not suit the Reece/Clarke power style game. I suspect it is going to be all about front foot ball through the forwards and Ioane.
Exciting to be guessing either way.

@Hooroo Might be selected for kick chasing given the forecast conditions.
The counter-argument is Clarke is bloody good at kick chasing himself.

On the other hand, we haven't had anyone so good at running at a reasonable pace in a straight line as Bridge since Caleb Ralph was playing

So Fozzie is going to focus on using specialists in each position except for Ardie, Jack, Jordie and Beaudy?
It looks a bit like a bail out on who to leave out of the 10/15 equation.

@mariner4life It's certainly no Brave New World!

Nothing says "I want to show i'm my own man" by selecting zero new starters.
The back 3 is just plain weird - shoehorning the best 15 to wing in order to select someone at 15 who looked far better at 10 (not 15) during Super Rugby and then on the other wing deciding against a strike winger.
