McReight is as good a poacher as there is going around.

We should be able to improve our combinations while the Boks have a lot of new faces in their side. A fast start again would be nice.

We have not really seen Holloway carry much. It could be that he is doing a lot of grunt work in the tight?

Pack is going to need to muscle up and get the set piece right

What happened to Vincent Koch? Not listed as injured, dropped or in the 23.

Thats how they circle the wagons and it will come from the kick off. They have a monster pack starting and will try and roll over us early. If we can hold them in the first half we should come home stronger. Our set piece needs to be much better this week.

Agree, but we can improve in one or two areas. Those being the lineout and scrum. I would bring Bell onto the bench and maybe consider swapping the hookers around. FF (Folau Fainga'a) was fantastic coming off the bench earlier in the year.

I was only joking. Campbell is nowhere near a spot just yet. I’d guess he is behind 3-4 others

All Blacks?

There is only one injured fullback not available in Banks, and lets face it, he never really nailed down the spot. Hodge is solid and reads the game well. He also has a cannon for a right foot and can kick the odd 50+ goal. I would persist with him until Petaia or Kellaway demand selection.

I cant admire Nic Whites over reaction and the game is bettor off without it. Both he and Gordon often stop play or leave the pill at the base of a scrum/ruck when trying to influence the ref and often it results in a turn over or lost opportunity. Negative play that can and often does do damage...

Some seem to be fixating on that loss without much to say about the more recent win?

It looks as though our scrum is much stronger with Swain and Philip in the row. I’m yet to be convinced by Arnold but he was better on the weekend.

Laurie Fisher was an excellent call. It looks as though our breakdown work was sharper on the weekend. It really does not matter where they come from as long as they are the best available.

If we can steady our set piece for next week we will be in good shape.

TT is just a little out of form, for the first time I can recall. He is one of the few that we have that can turn a game on his own. Best to persist with him and let that happen. He will come good.

I would bring Bell in on the bench. He is our long term prospect and he gives a little more around the field

TT was not terrible. Made a couple of errors but in the scrum that got stuffed it was Sios side that collapsed. TT is close and we all know when hes on it helps our cause immeasurably. Hopefully Bell is good to go next week.

Leave it alone. It was a crazy tackle that Koriebete had no right to even be there to attempt. It will go down alongside GGs effort as one of the great try savers, and rightly so. WTF happened to our lineout? It has been our go to phase all year. If we get that right next week it will push us a...

Didn’t help his cause much
