    yeah, will be good to see him get on. He is the workhorse get it done sort of player, without the flashy-ness. Much like Hertryk's Sharpe... just needs to shave his head.

    Congratulations to Adam, but looking at some of the other names on that list, Cheika appears to be using the dead rubber as a training run.

    Skelton? Palu? (Ok I know Ben is injured, but Palu offers no aggression whatsoever) Keeping the Hooper McMahon disaster on the field?Naming ONE (yes that's right ONE) forward who has any interest in grabbing the ball out of the ruck (Fardy) when the Poms have proven that they are entirely capable of destroying the ruck should they want to.

    I predict the whitewash will be complete by the 20th minute and it'll just remain to figure how big the margin is.

    Hopefully Coleman stays on the bench. Wouldn't make much sense to name a guy on the bench to make his debut and then cut him the day before the test. So hopefully Mumm gets cut because they probably need Palu there.

    Skelton, seriously come on. I think Horwill has been hard done by, he actually looked alright in the 1st test.

    Kerevi hard done by as well, Kuridrani needs a wake up call and so does Moore.

    Simmons was apparently dropped on form and he is back in the lineup. The lineout was ok last week and looking at Andreg's stats carter seemed to do the job cheika asked of him was mobile and got to rucks. Finds himself out of the matchday squad. Never really been a fan of his but can probably feel a tiny bit hard done by.

    2 jumpers and 1 who will complete at the breakdown. Looks like england will be out to dominate our pack. The mooper will have to do a hell of a lot of running with the ball in hand to make up for that. It is nowhere a fearsome creature as the pooper.

    Would have been tempted to play Izzy at 13 and DHP at 15 and bring in morahan for his genuine pace & kicking ability and have horne as cover for the centres. Would like to see frisby get some good minutes to see what he can do.

    Hope we cut down the errors and run some angles in the backline and win.

    Wasn't Simmons stood down because of his head knock?

    Agree with moving Izzy to 13 and DHP to 15, though. Horne hasn't done much wrong, but hasn't done enough right to deserve his spot, either (IMHO)

    Certainly would have given Moore a rest (I think the ref will appreciate it). Adam Coleman is in the lucky position of having nothing to lose.

    Pleasing to see Adam Coleman survive the cut (Mumm missing out).

    Hope he gets some good game time and lets his rugby do the talking and not try and out-Itoje Itoje.

    Force lock Adam Coleman included on Wallabies bench to play England
    by ADRIAN WARREN
    LOCK Adam Coleman is set to become the third Tasmanian to play for the Wallabies after making the final bench for Saturday’s third Test against England.

    Veteran lock-flanker Dean Mumm was the man cut from the extended bench on Friday, as coach Michael Cheika opted to go with five forwards and three backs for the match at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium.

    The only previous Tasmanians to play for the Wallabies were siblings Jack Ford (11 Tests 1925-30) and Eric Ford (7 Tests 1927-29).

    It’s been a rapid rise for 24-year-old Coleman, who was part of the initial 39-man Wallabies extended training squad before the series.

    “We felt like he needed some work on his fitness and he’s run hard and he’s trained hard,” Cheika said on Thursday.

    “He’s really impressed on the training paddock.

    “Probably at the start of the week he wasn’t in that position and over the training days he’s pushed himself into that position.

    “If he’s given the opportunity to play on Saturday, I know he’ll do himself proud.”

    Big winger Taqele Naiyaravoro should get his first opportunity to play a Test since making his debut against the United States in Chicago last season, where he scored a try with his first touch of the ball.
