    This is the first team naming I have looked forward to in ages. Especially around the centre pairing and back row.

    I don't care who starts at 1st five and neither are fantastic

    No Fifita in the 23 so Patty T gets a chance to impress off the bench. If he doesn't take it then I expect his chance of going to Japan is gone. Big games for Moli and Ta'avao too.

    That team is HOT!! I really am a fan of S Barrett so am looking forward to him trying to dominate.

    I don't think the numbers on the back of Savea's and Read's jerseys matter. I think Ardie will be on the back of the scrum for AB feeds.

    Looking forward to seeing this combo.

    On the strength of the desire of TSF to see that backrow and centre combination alone, the Wallabies are in for a torrid time of it.

    Scrum. About right and as predicted. But Ardie Savea is shoved the blindside to accommodate Kieran Read. Ardie Savea has been the better 8 so far in 2019. Angus T given the nod as beach tighthead ahead of Ofa T.

    Backline more interesting and debatable. Love the look of the midfield. Hope Ben Smith still has the gas to excel on the Right Wing. Big opportunity for George Bridge off the bench. Not sure right now that Sevu Reece, Ennor, Jordie Barrett or SBW are going to RWC.

    Pleased that Dane Coles has been picked ahead of Codie Taylor as the starting Hooker.

    Would rather have Ennor over Bridge but can't fault the other selections.

    That’s pretty much the strongest side they could have named at this stage. Might have swapped Read and Savea around, but that’s about it.
