As expected, that's about the best 23 they can put on the park at the moment.

Will be interesting to see what patterns Schmidt & Co. have discerned from the Lions already they'll be looking to practise against the Fijians.

Feel a bit for Tom Lynagh - could've maybe given him a run off the bench for the Reds.

Langi Gleeson

Not sold on this guy's defence. Is Valetini injured or rested?

Especially as Gleeson is going offshore

@Daffy-Jaffy cool for Salesi, can't recall if Phil ever played fullback for Fiji?

Presume that must have happened in the last few days, otherwise would've been unusual to release Donaldson for that Force game.

Fiji anthem singer a bit pitchy

Australia anthem singer not much better.

Opening salvo is a tie

[KiwiMurph]

Good weather

Good crowd

Day rugby

How good

[NTA]

Ah that's right French ref and TMO

BOK and CallMe ARs

[NTA]

Pitch looks magnificent compared to the SFS

Where are they? Parramatta?

Seems to be Newcastle.

[booboo]

Maul try.

Any Brumbies in the Team?

[NTA]

Good try. A bit of speed at the tuck here which is good.

But territory and possession heavily in our favour

[NTA]

That's a clearly high tackle on JAS tbh

[NTA]

What I like about this ref: he's not fucking around week TMOs or scrum resets
