After a tricky year, it’s finally becoming a bit more bearable to be a Wallabies fan. The side has two straight wins under their belts, against the Springboks and now the Pumas, and it’s reminding us all that yes, this team actually can win games – just every now and then, at least.

Two more Tests left in the year and they are both overseas, against those same opponents again. The Wallabies can close out second place in the Rugby Championship if they win the both of them, but will Australia fare as well on foreign soil against those sides as it has at home?

First there’s a week’s break, then we’re in South Africa to face the Springboks. So what changes should the team make in order to get that job done?

Who fared well last night, who flopped? Who deserves another chance, and whose time is up? Who are Australia’s best options waiting in the wings? In short: who comes in, who goes out?

For the answers to these questions Roarers, we’re turning to you. There will, we bet, be a variety of opinions on the matter, and in this week’s Roar Forum you are invited to let us know in the comments what yours is.

For your reference, here’s the full team from last night:

1. Scott Sio, 2. Stephen Moore, 3. Sekope Kepu, 4. Rob Simmons, 5. Adam Coleman, 6. Dean Mumm, 7. Michael Hooper, 8. David Pocock, 9. Will Genia, 10. Quade Cooper, 11. Reece Hodge, 12. Bernard Foley, 13. Samu Kerevi, 14. Dane Haylett-Petty, 15. Israel Folau.

Reserves
