Maybe it will be like a pre-season jamboree with rolling subs, making it completely pointless.

That's a lovely looking back row

I can only assume Batley picked up an injury.

A little surprised Oghre got the nod at hooker.

Pleased with that. More so than the other one!

Lots of mobile carrying threat. Hoping all three go well and pose some questions to Sameold Backrow.

Still unsure how Orlando Bailey didn't make the squad.

Is this on the box?

Premier sports, or, if you can convince your computer to try an Australian accent - Stan sports

Well I’ve just ponied up for Premier Sports so Dingers better score a hat trick and take the two best looking women in the crowd home with him.

If anyone finds a stream, please post it.

Yes please

Disappointing crowd.

Good spin and ground made by Ibitoye, then good driving from the forwards. Nice try.

Oof - poor maul defending at the lineout, well played Australia though.

This is crap.

Atkinson is shoite and Pollock is good.

So far I think Tizard and both wings have looked good. Not sure about the rest.

It's a bit inaccurate. It's like watching the first XV with a smaller crowd.

Some good play in that last move, if the last ball goes to hand that's a great try. There's something there. It's just not fully clicking yet.

Hmm .. not great in the 22, this is like watching the first XV.

That's a great try, after a ton of stodgy one out plays. Willis with a good carry into contact. Then the hands from Beard, Ibitoye and Murley to finish. Nice.
