Apparently Sua'ali'i is actually good to go and will return via a 5/3 bench. Gleeson back starting, apparently Valetini a decent chance to return too.

Force have bitched it and rested White, Stewart, Tizzano and Donaldson. CRUSADERS (1-15): Tamaiti Williams, Codie Taylor, Fletcher Newell, Scott Barrett, Antonio Shalfoon, Corey Kellow, Tom Christie, Christian Lio-Willie, Kyle Preston, Taha Kemara, Macca Springer, David Havili (c), Braydon...

Alrighty, I'll put my hand up for this exercise and collate the teams. Get your 1-15 of the week in. Has to be Aus eligible is my rule. We'll do one team for rounds 1-3: 1. Bell 2. Pollard 3. De Lutiis 4. Williams 5. Swain 6. Uru 7. McReight 8. Wilson 9. McDermott 10. Donaldson 11. Pietsch...

Force paying $3.60 to win which I think is well off. Force at home, more match fit and settled after two games, no Paisami or Campbell for the Reds. If the Force can get parity in the forwards, I think the game could be theirs. Reds backline suddenly looking a bit inexperienced. Keen for...

If we win this, then it's a successful tour, lose and our sweet English victory starts to fade. Also, we have the chance to make Wales 10 game losing streak longer and for them to have their first winless season in a hundred years. Normally after such a good game I would advocate stick with the...

Joe Marler has left the England camp for personal reasons, apparently unrelated to his tweet about banning the Haka. Apparently he won't be replaced for November.

So envious of the amount of caps the Springboks can put out. That is a squad with depth. Springboks XV 15 – Willie le Roux (Vodacom Bulls) – 93 caps, 75 pts (15t) 14 – Cheslin Kolbe (Suntory Sungoliath) – 31 caps, 91 points (14t, 3c, 5p) 13 – Jesse Kriel (Canon Eagles) – 67 caps, 80 points...

Two juggernauts go head to head, check out the 'Tahs bench. PASIFIKA (1-15): Abraham Pole, Samiuela Moli, Sione Mafileo, Tom Savage, Allan Craig, Jacob Norris, Sione Havili Talitui (c), Lotu Inisi, Aisea Halo, William Havili, Neria Fomai, Julian Savea, Pepesana Patafilo, Fine Inisi, Danny Toala...

Rebels lose captain Leota but gain Proctor via the bench. Congratulations to Sammy T who is captain in Rob's absence. Drua are going to run riot over the boys in the backrow. With Wilkin, Kemeny and Leota all out. Not sure why Ekuasi isn't starting, I rate him higher than the starters. The...

Surprised more hasn't been made of this but Rhys Webb and Elton Janties have been busted using ability-enhancing drugs. Two pretty high profile players, apparently the one Rhys got caught with, is quite hard to detect and has a very short period of detection in the body. Begs the question how...

Shake off the Bokkies loss and move on. Two teams thoroughly spanked looking for a comeback, two teams have a tight turn around to travel across oceans and many time zones. Not very long to do big alterations and try new combinations. Two teams coached by fiery Australians. I was about to say...

REBELS (1-15): Matt Gibbon, Jordan Uelese, Sam Talakai, Josh Canham, Matt Philip, Josh Kemeny, Brad Wilkin (c), Richard Hardwick, Ryan Louwrens, Carter Gordon, Monty Ioane, Nick Jooste, Reece Hodge, Lachie Anderson, Andrew Kellaway RESERVES: Alex Mafi, Isaac Aedo Kailea, Pone Fa'amausili...

Crossing fingers that Kerevi & Quade come out unscathed. Kinda happy that Koroibete isn't playing anymore. We know he's fit and firing and doesn't need another chance to injure himself. Pretty fun coaching line up with EJ (Eddie Jones) against Steve Hansen too. Good luck to Phipps, Simmons & Hockings too...

Rebels would do their final hopes an absolute service if they could somehow pick up this game. Brumbies need to squish the Rebels to get a home semi. Brumbies by 15.

Understrength Brumbies might struggle away against a strong Hurricanes team. No Samu or Ikitau. Hurricanes vs Brumbies, 5.05pm Hurricanes (1-15): Xavier Numia, Asafo Aumua, Tyrel Lomax, James Blackwell, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Devan Flanders, Du’Plessis Kirifi, Ardie Savea (c), Cam Roigard...
