[QUOTE="Veal, post: 755483, member: 43091"] I'm sure that Cheika and the Wallabies will show plenty of respect for Wales and select a strong side. Since 2011 the scores have been very close - the highest difference being no more than 8, and often much closer last gasp wins for the Wallabies. Even with the injury toll, Wales have world class players all over the field; they are cohesive and well coached. I actually think the respective back rows will cancel each other out. That said, injuries and suspensions may force Chieka's hand. We still have not heard what the story is with Folau's ankle. Rob Horne probably won't start. Beale to start and probably Drew Mitchell to come in on the bench. If Hooper is suspended - then either Sean McMahon or Ben McCalman can come in. Both in great form. I'd like to see McMahon get the nod - he brings plenty in aggression and energy and is a more like-for-like replacement for Hooper. However McCalman is a a seasoned campaigner and can shore up the line out as another jumper. If Cheika chooses to rest Foley he may start with Toomua and have Foley on the bench. Surely he won't pick Quade....but he keeps surprising us!! It will be another cracker game !! [/QUOTE]
