Well, the Wallabies are on the wrong side of the scoreboard again, with a 6-30 loss to England at Twickenham in the early hours of Sunday morning.

There’s no doubt the result is a mightily disappointing one, although many would argue that the scoreboard didn’t necessarily reflect the competitiveness of the game.

Regardless, the Wallabies will leave with a bitter taste in their mouths and must now look to their last Test of the year, against Scotland next week, with the goal of finishing their year on a high note.

What changes should the Wallabies make to the team before they come up against Scotland 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 players have earned another go next time around, and which of them are headed back to the chalkboard?

Who deserves to come right in, and who should be made to earn their place?

In short – who comes in, who goes out?
