Only changes
Bell to start with Ross or Robertson off the bench
Toole could get a chance however wouldn’t he surprised if kellaway starts and daugunu gets the 23 jersey
If Valetini back he goes to 8 if Wilson is out! If Wilson in Valetini 6 and I’d have hooper over Williams on the bench
Would do a 6-2 bench if Donaldson was back but if not 5-3

Sticking to previous processes you'd think Daugunu wont be in the frame as he will just join the squad, but you never know

I think he was left out due to wife giving birth otherwise would have been there
Presume new baby has arrived and he has joined early!
lets wait and see anyway
Otherwise it’s only Toole left?

SA with a rough 24 hours. Wobs win, Aus win the T20 decider and Du Plessis got absolutely smoked in the UFC and lost the belt.

Why is Hooper out of the team??

It's either him or Gleeson for that bench spot if Valetini comes back

Yeah, Schmidt seems to prefer giving players just joiningn the squad a week or two to become accustomed to the plans, plays etc.

jorgesen is really becoming something special. Still wasnt sold on him before the super rugby season but at this stage he's one of the first picked. In terms of the other winger, i like the idea of choosing a player thats a bit more physical in contact so if peitsch's out id probably go with Daungunu

Bugger, Potter and Pietsch were the two in-form Aussie Super Rugby wingers this year and they’re both out injured.
Toole and Daugunu both had glimpses of quality play, but neither were at the standard of the other two IMO.
Jorgensen whilst he didn’t play much of the Super Rugby season, is all quality.
Kellaway could come straight into the wing, and potentially Flook onto the bench.

Welp. Wasn't expecting that.
Boks tried to play fancy footy rather than just crushing us up front. Still yet to understand why but the backlash should be awesome to watch.
Libbok and Willemse are rubbish.
We can catch and pass. It's weird and scary. Hold me @Dismal Pillock I'm frightened.

You could always put Valetini on the bench instead of Gleeson. Hard to know what the best balance is. We’ve probably played some of our best rugby with Wilson, Mcreight and Hooper starting the last 2 games. May even be wise to rest Wilson even if he’s right. All good headaches to have.

definitely see the Boks going back to 6-2 split. Saw quite a few springbok fowards completely gassed and walking around aimlessly towards the end of the game. Looked like Rassie forgot to give them the memo that they were no longer playing slow scrum-to-scrum rugby.
Wobs need to match the 6-2 - start toole as the replacement for Pietsch & use kellyway as the utility on the bench.
