Well the rumour is that McLeod's parents have flown over, and ALB has been doing media, so you'd expect both to be involved... can't see them leaving out Rieko, wouldn't be the worst idea to give him a trot on the wing, as there is a fair chance he is used as cover there at the Big WC Games in an injury crisis...
Back reserves will be:
21. Christe/Roigard
22. ALB
23. ? -
I'll also add, wouldn't be stunned to see a team that is why different to the one which trotted out by South Africa... a bit of an alternative lineup if they want to test people out:
- Tu'ungafasi
- Taukei'aho
- Laulala
- Retallick
- Whitelock
- Barrett
- Savea
- Jacobson
- Roigard
- Mo'unga
- Clarke
- ALB
- Ioane
- Telea
- Jordan
- Coles
- de Groot
- Lomax
- Finau
- Papalii
- Smith
- B Barrett
- J Barrett

@Bovidae keep BB away from 10 please.
I don't want him there either but if DMac isn't in the 23 then he (BB) is the only option if Mo'unga got injured early. I would prefer that Foster and co don't put themselves in that situation come the RWC, and see that now.
Jones is going for size in his pack, but won't have the same impact at the breakdown.

Soo good to see Roigard on the bench. Hopefully he has a blinder.

that team is a pleasant surprise
turn up with purpose and we could flog them.
Aus have picked a big quick backline so our forwards need to squash them and our kicking needs to be on point.
