I Think Phipps/Foley is a much more daunting prospect than Genia/Cooper. The former reminds me of Reddan/Sexton - Pace on the ball, taken close to the gain line. Also Leali'ifano & Kuridrani seem very well suited and make for a big attacking centre partnership. Mental/manic back row with Hooper & McMahon starting together. Wales match will be fun to watch. I think Australia are going to hammer them (& us)!
