Let's also hope he has an aussie grand parent....

Let's just hope we can get a commanding lead in the first half. Think it's all down hill from there considering the bench the Boks have.

I would put Swinton ahead of all 6's/ 8's in the current squad except Valetini

Think we are stuffed regardless, here's my team: 1. Bell 2. Faessler 3. AAAA 4. Hooper 5. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) Would prefer him on the bench but big ask for Canham 6. Valetini 7. Reimer 8. Uru 9. Gordon 10. Donaldson 11. Koroibete 12. Paisami 13. Ikitau 14. Kellaway 15. Wright 16. Pollard 17. Kailea 18. Thor...

I suspect they will name their team tomorrow as usual. I think Du Toit/ Marx are inured?

Reimer with Hooper on the bench.

Would like to see Ed Timpson get a shot from Norths, he has been tearing it up this year. Think we will have to dip into the NPC player pool in NZ for tight 5 forwards. Have they announced Tupou and Leota yet??

Dolly is definitely one to consider. Issue is he has already been capped by England, not sure on how long he will need to standdown until he can be considered for selection.

Hearing Pone is heading to the Force. Do we have any word on Ekuasi? He would be good for the Tahs, a backrow of him, Gleeson and Gamble would be nice.

Looking very grim... Fingers crossed Tupou signs. Perhaps look at bringing home Harry Hockings?

These are the players not considered for the tests, doubt anything has changed. Unavailable for selection Recovering from injury Angus Bell Harry Johnson-Holmes Max Jorgensen Rob Leota Lachlan Lonergan David Porecki Blake Schoupp

My team: 1 - Hodgman 2 - Faessler 3 - AAA 4 - Blyth 5 - LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 6 - Wright 7 - McReight 8 - Valetini 9 - Gordon 10 - Donaldson 11 - Daugunu 12 - Paisami 13 - Ikitau 14 - Kellaway 15 - Wright 16 - Pollard 17 - Kailea 18 - TT 19 - Frost 20 - Cale (Leota if available) 21 -...

He could be trumping us all and Billy could be his nickname?

Agreed, I think Gleeson offers a lot more spark than Wilson off the bench. Although Cale is young/inexperienced, he is well deserving of his spot in the starting team. Really like the balance of the starting back row, then Gleeson comes on for Cale with 25 to go and throws himself into the Welsh.

Well the selections worked for the last game and we are 1/1. In Schmidt we trust.

When is our team announced?

Serious doubt doesn't sound good. Poor bloke, has had a wretched run of injuries and finally sees some consistency. Hopefully he doesn't miss too much time.

Wainwright would be a big loss.
