Call it a B-side if you will – though we don’t recommend doing so within earshot of Michael Cheika – but it got a win, and the Wallabies now have three victories in a row after knocking off France 25-23.

Two big challenges now await over the next two weeks for Australia. First up there’s the impressive Ireland, and after that England, who won the series between these sides 3-0 earlier in the year.

After resting so many players this week, there’ll certainly be big changes as Australia look to assemble their strongest possible side over the next two weeks.

But did any of this match’s inclusions do enough to push out some of those standard selections out?

What changes should the Wallabies make before they come up against Ireland in a week’s time?

For the answer to that all-important question, Roarers, we’re turning things over to you.

Which of this week’s inclusions have earned another go next time around, and which of them are headed back to the chalkboard? Who deserves to come straight back in, and who should be made to earn their place? In short – who comes in, who goes out?
