How far have the French fallen that Australia has named a 2nd string side against them. I feel the Aussies will lose this game with an experimental side but can understand Cheika not wanting to flog them to the ground on this grueling tour.
Don't read it like that at all. They have a punishing schedule, they have a chance of a GS, they have a chance for revenge against England.
They would happily sacrifice a defeat to France to achieve the other objectives.

This tour (thanks to the last 15 minutes against Scotland) is going very well for Cheika and the Wallabies. Pasted the Welsh, and withstood the Scots to keep the GS dream alive. Pre-tour plans to rotate for this game can still be rolled out, and he's pretty safe that even a reverse can be talked up in the way of positives.
The whole tour is much more about the next two weekends than this one, and so far it has been set up perfectly.
Bit of credit due i think. It's certainly going better for them than us, and waaaay better than the Boks.

Fucking hell the Queenslanders have already started - finally they get a few of their duds in the XV and they're blowing up that Cheika is throwing the game with all these rookies.
Fuck's sake have a word with yourselves...

If that's aimed at me, go fuck yourself!
If aimed at them elsewhere, we have said many times that Reds fans are the absolute worst.

so angry today. No time for the before work jerk?

At half time in the France vs Wallabies match SBS announced it will also be live broadcasting England vs Wallabies in two weeks time - mark it in your diary.

Rugby channel is so random. Instead of halftime analysis we get random interviews with some F1 guy and leauge highlights. It's called the RUGBY channel Sky...

Did Quade not start? I'm off camping at the moment so no TV
I only have coverage of the match with 0% analysis so unsure what happened to Quade but Foley is in the 10 jumper.
Wallabies 20-11 and playing pretty well.
-
French player tackled him before he had the ball, that's a penalty try although the comms are not talking about it at all.
-
I saw a little of the pre match and all they said was that he wasn't playing. I presume he's injured because they zoomed in on him sitting on the bench looking more of a tool than usual in his civvies.
France holding on here but I reckon they get done over in the end. That Morohan looks alright.
-
What do I know. France just scored a great try.

France are pretty dangerous on the breakout, some nice offloading. That was probably a knock on and well against the run of play - Aus just need to keep their heads and they'll run away with it.
