Good Rouxblock on U, and if you do a cross on white you have a free pair, and two slots with their corners solved which you could keyhole if you're fast at it.
As my time shows, I'm not.

Got 6.93 on this scramble from qqtimer. I tried it again, and a found a 22 move solution with a LL skip.

B U2 R F2 D' R' F U2 D' B U2 B U2 R2 F' B2 R2 F' U2 D2

y' x2' R2 U' R' D2' L' U L //Double xcross
U L U L' y' L U2 L' //Third pair
U y' R U R2' F R F' U' // Last pair + LL skip + AUF

View at alg.cubing.net

= 22 moves

WTF

My solution was:
y' x2' R2 U' R' D2' L' U L
U2' R' U R y R' U2' R
U' R U' R' U R U' R'
U2' R U R' U R U' R' U' R' F R F'
R U' R' U' R U R D R' U' R D' R' U2 R'

Edit: practised the scramble a bit. |The fastest I could get was 2.73

Lovely 2 gen solve. Sadly I botched it up with lockups and fail.

According to Robert Yau, skipping F2L like this has a 1 in 3.66 billion chance (1/3657830400).
According to Brest, "That scramble tho... only skipped one move to make it an 8 move scramble " and "Optimal for the actual scramble is 15 too "
