Samu Kerevi and Izack Rodda will make their long-awaited return to the Wallabies side for the third Bledisloe Test against the All Blacks in Perth.
I wouldn’t pick one Aussie in a combined….
That midfield could be a handful with decent ball.
Banks is a liability. The young kid at 1st 5 needs to be persisted with. Their loose forwards have been inconsistent at best. Swain is an up and coming talent but is green and they don’t have an experienced lock that can take him under their wing. The other options are still trying to nail down spots. -

sorry guys just checked my phone, it appears i had this team a couple of hours ago.. will resume sauce services for next away games
Downvote. You had us all wait.
Only real surprise for me is Weber starting over TJ. The other changes are much of a muchness given the schedule that lies ahead.
I’m really hoping to see a continuation of that interplay between forwards and backs that we saw glimpses of in Bled 1 and more of in Bled 2.

I know you're kidding but I would have Hooper any day of the week. He is a massive warrior!!

Seems like - with his time away in Japan and flirtation with league - that TJ is in the dog box a bit.
They made him wait to come back into the AB squad and now they're giving Weber the starter's spot ahead of him. I know someone will say that he needed to play an NPC game to qualify himself - but, to me - that was just a technicality. If they'd really wanted him they could easily have circumvented that rule with a "he's signed with us" and only a few pedants would have blinked.

@chris-b when's the last time Perenara played a test or even a game of Super Rugby intensity?
Not chucking him straight into a Bledisloe to start doesn't mean he's in the dogbox
About 3 weeks ago

Like the backline, will be interesting to see what Weber can do in a start with a good team...but...what the flying fuck is the point of Bridge? I can only hope it's a rotation thing.
@antipodean I've seen Jacobson cover all loose forward positions excellently at super level, don't think Blackadder could be ranked ahead of him in that regard. Rotation again surely...

Or they’re saving his start for the next two possibly tougher games?

TBH I was a bit surprised at the talk of him coming straight in over Weber. Not because I rate Weber as in Smith class but because TJ has hardly shown any chops for ages.
He also looks like a cadaver since turning vegan and I really don't believe that he can be pushing out the performance numbers he once did.
Happy to be proven wrong but Weber has earned the right to be the 2IC. -

Just be happy he tore himself away from his 12th meal of the day to announce the team. Can't be easy when you have to eat every 5 minutes.
In all seriousness, like that team. Ardie as captain as well. That's pretty huge.
