Booya.

This was one heck of an inexperienced side we fielded, to compete for 50 mins is more than we should have expected, well done lads!

Looking forward to seeing how the team lined up, who were our centres and who was our fullback?

Report in progress. The side was: Villegas; Piquemal, Sadaoui, Duport, Vaccari; Bosc, Wynne; Shead, Kane, Griffi; Elima, Touxagas; Fakir. Andrew, Moly, Gagliazzo, Martins.

So Villegas at FB?
Wings Piquemal and Vaccari
Centres Sadaoui and Duport
And they go on about an inexperienced English backline!

Second half saw a very, very nervous Villegas switched to wing with Bosc at full-back. Moly off the bench to half.

Vaccari got through some work. France gifted the Kiwis two tries and the referee matched that. That's 24 points that were handed to New Zealand on a plate. Very enthusiastic crowd and plenty of singing going on in and out of the ground.

Possible recall for Khattabi?

Read somewhere that he's injured.

Seven changes for Australia:

Gidley (Newcastle); B Morris (St George Illawarra), J Morris (Canterbury), Jennings (Penrith), Hayne (Parramatta); Lockyer (Brisbane, capt), Thurston (North Queensland); Civoniceva (Penrith), Farah (Wests Tigers), Hannant (Canterbury), Waterhouse (Penrith), Hoffman (Melbourne), Hindmarsh (Parramatta).

Subs: Cronk (Melbourne), Lewis (Penrith), Shillington (Canberra), Thaiday (Brisbane).

If you can make seven changes and still field that side, then you're doing something very right indeed.

if you can make seven changes, name that team, and still play hayne on the wing you're doing something very right indeed
