Normally Thursday for Saturday, so presumably Tuesday for Thursday?
Prediction: largely unchanged XV (except for forced loose forward changes) and minor tweaks on the bench
I would think tomorrow but the BF RWC Squad is being named tomorrow on a YouTube channel and there’s no mention of the ABs announcement

Wallabies are named on Tuesday. I would expect the same for ABs.

Rennie seems intent on getting the band back together, so i am expecting call ups for Adam Ashley Cooper, Drew Mitchel, Scott Fardy and Rob Simmons to join Kurtley and Foley.
Also Pocock to play 8

If the Government were more onto it they coulda made the public holiday for the Queens death on the Friday of this week so I could have watched the game, stayed up late and gotten pissed and not had to worry about work the next day.

Bernard Foley’s international rugby career is set to be revived in remarkable fashion on Thursday night, with Wallabies coach Dave Rennie poised to name the veteran playmaker at No10 for Australia’s opening Bledisloe Cup match in Melbourne. -

Nah, there has been a lot of interest in young Bernard. He’s one for the future!
