France paying $2.55 for the 3rd test. Good odds?
Would suggest that's a yes - they'll take the same lineup most likely, while Rennie will make a few changes.
The nature of those changes are key of course - if JOC is fit, would like to see Tate-JOC-Paisami with Ikitau at 13 and Kellaway at 14.
Tupou and AAA swap back, Lonergan off the bench for someone else...

I thought France were going to make heaps of changes, to give all their tourists a run.
Would suck to do 14 days quarantine to not get on the park. I think there's 11 blokes who still haven't featured.
I think the odds of the French are about right, and probably worth taking. By and large the French have been the better side this series, and I see no reason why that won't continue.

@stargazer 16 caps between the 9-10-12, none of which were together. Yikes.

Which makes sense at 2-0 down. But not at 1-all.

I think you will be right there though Derp, French 10 is first cap, 9 has about 6 or 7, and 12 has about 12 or so. You would imagine Wallabies a rightfully favourites whil giving credit to young French team, I really thought they would lose all 3 tests.

9 Tate McDermott (4 Tests)
10 Noah Lolesio (4 Tests)
11 Marika Koroibete (36 Tests)
12 Hunter Paisami (8 Tests)
13 Len Ikitau (1 Test)
14 Filipo Daugunu (5 Tests)
15 Tom Banks (13 Tests)Swap JOC for Lolesio and Hodge for Banks and I reckon that’s a backline Rennie could do things with.
Good to see McDermott get the start.

They want to win.
I’m sure those other 11 have trained the house down.

Agreed although I'm not sold on the midfield. Perese looked excellent but unsure who to pair him with.
-
I think this should give Paisami the opportunity to just play the game he played for the Reds, and lower his error rate. His security in contact is fucking woeful the last 2 games.
Not sure I'm sold on starting Swain - French should target our scrum based on what happened last time. Our lot had better work on their binds and height.
-
TBH if the wallabies slightly reduce their error count they'll walk this in.
-
@antipodean fairly large if.
