Not enough pace, especially on the wings.
DHP is a fullback, Folau not in form and will be out of position to for wing attack. Hodge is not a wing either. Khunt also out of position, but looking forward to seeing how he goes.
Who will defend the 10 channel for Foley and Quade?

Small crowd in Melbourne, looks about 9000 - 10000
Thats somewhere we need to be careful as rugby supporters. Even though the ARU has made a shambles of Super Rugby leading to the potential boycott of the Wallabies tests by some on here, having the Wallabies play in an empty stadium in Perth would be a horrendous look for us as a rugby state and will be potentially used against us in the future. Last year we managed just over 16 000 for the Argentina test. We need to get a crowd of 30 000 plus to help our case. Its a tough, emotional call for some but we need to make the right call for the long term despite the short term.
NIB=20,500
Should get that.

I agree love rugby and would hate things to go further down hill! For the population of Melbourne and being sporting capital of oz you would think crowd would be better!!
Dickie won a ruck turnover as soon as he came on....possibly first touch

Nailed that one - how many people were there 125,006 (the six at the end makes it seem believeable), Fiji 10 of the world's best 15 players - now weren't they good?, live crosses to Cheika to keep the pump up going - what a match. wallabies tested to their ultimate level, wish I had been there, rather than watching that humdrum Lions v Crusaders match. In the modern speak - Rugby in Australia is in a good space. Thank F&*k we aren't playing the Lions
My arse there were 13000....you could hear individual shouts and chatter FFS no chance of that with more than 9k

yeah,but you have to understand the Rebels fans are probably just as pissed off as we are-if the test was played here,how many would have gone to the game?
