I like the side. With the 3 Smith's back in and close to our strongest forward pack plus debutantes at lock and 1st 5. What I do like is the impact from the bench - 3 dynamic front rowers, plus the Canes 8, 9, 10 trio and Fekitoa. Ellis Park is always a big occasion. For the likes of Taylor...

Is that set in concrete? I doubt it given he has the same Manager as Sonny Bill.....

Although I think Cooper will play all tests just to get him to that magic number of tests.....

3. Phipps 2. Kurindrani 1. Hooper 0.5 Pocock

Seb, if that was pure luck, then every try ever scored is down to luck :) Boks were exerting good pressure at that point and the kick chase was effective enough to have the Boks coming up as a line. I think Meyer will look back on some of those substitutions and probably not make those...

The big change when Pocock came on was that the Boks had to commit more numbers to the breakdown. It opened up space for To'omua, Kurindrani, Hooper and Folau to work with. And with Phipps quick work at the base, it made for a much better attack.

However To'omua was basically playing 10 since he came on. The more he has his hands on the ball the better I reckon.

BdP going off and Phipps coming on were huge decisions

Phipps take a bow son, you really turned that test match around.

They got up off their knees and then tried to restart the mail. Should have been accidental offside.

Mate the Aussies went to ground by one or two driving in low

Wow huge call coming here.

Pocock made that decision. Not Moore

Phipps and To'omua have provided excellent impact. Horwill also made a difference.

Did Quade come back on?

Looked like a broken ankle??

Ooooh, that was a close one. So it's 9. Phipps 10. To'omua 11. Mitchell 12. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 13. Hooper 14. Horne 15. Folau

Lambie on for Pollard is a surprise

Even though Gits got caught there, Quade has just been shovelling it on not committing any defenders to him. It's just creating pressure for others

Pocock right on the money
