I'd like to see Newman and Burgess get a go this week, with Farnworth swapping sides. 

Wardle and Johnstone haven't done much wrong but neither has caused the Australians any issues. Both Newman and Burgess bring a bit of something different. In Newman's case, a higher chance of someone getting headbutted. In Burgess's case, he could disrupt the Aussies by warming up in a Tommy Robinson t-shirt.

I'd also give Lewis the nod at stand off.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

I’d definitely like to see Farnworth and Lewis in their normal positions. I read that Dom Young is injured, so Burgess a straight swap if so. If Young plays, I’d give Burgess a go over Johnstone. Newman in as the other centre.

Tom Johnstone got a shoulder injury the very last minute of the game and the physio was signalling to come off ASAP. I wouldnt be surprised if he missed out

I thought Burgess was (surprisingly) a left winger.

Australia 28-10

I think Australia will have enough and just go through the motions. I think the English will get a couple of tries.

I think Australia will ring the changes and in doing so they'll be a bit out of their normal structures, which sounds good for England but I fear it'll go the other way and they'll play more expansive style - opening us up. We'll have some joy too, so I predict a far higher scoring game but ultimately the Aussies to still come out on top. 

Aus by 16. Score prediction 18-34

Yeah I'm expecting one of our starting wingers this week to be someone playing out of position. Given Bateman was due to play if he wasn't injured, maybe he will be back in the lineup if fit. 

Any other injuries affecting the 17?

It would help if your mate Reece Walsh didn't whack anyone around the head this week.

The fact it’s gone from mostly standing to having seating on 3 sides rather than one, North stand having loads of new corporate facilities. Health and safety meaning you cant have as many on the western terrace.
