If KB (Kurtley Beale) is fit again, which according to that Foxsports article he is, I think he'll go well.

His finger should be right. It was only dislocated (although a nasty one which broke the skin).

After they get put back in they're a little bruised but two weeks later it should be pretty much fine. Certainly nothing a bit of tape couldn't fix.

This was mine at the end of the cricket season.

So we are looking at:

Kirchner (Meh, meh), Habana, Jdv, Frans, Hougaard, Goosen, Pienaar
Vermaulya, Alberts, Louw, Bekker, Eatsyouforbreakfast, Jannie, Strauss, Beast

Tough on Kruger and Flip vd M and Lambie.

CJ vs linde likely on bench. Meh. All other props are broken or banned (dimwit).

Steyn and Lambie on bench. Dumb, but likely.

Taute will be a good bench option. Can cover 10, midfield and 15. Have a good feel for this test, saw some of their practise bits and they look hungry and ready to rumble the Wallabies. Despite losing the last two tests I just have the feel that they improved and winning is around the corner. If they drop this one we'll be back to page 1.

Nice. Must have made it hard to pick your nose (not sure why that was the first thing that came to mind).

It wasn't a break, just a bad dislocation, so bad the bone broke through the skin! But apparently he's good to go. I hope so, I never want to see Cummins near a Wallabies jersey.

Taute on his selection
Sport24
Three years after making his professional debut in the Currie Cup as a teenager for the Golden Lions, Jaco Taute could finally make his first appearance for the Springboks against Australia this weekend.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has made no secret about it that he is a great fan of Taute.
The 21-year-old has been in Meyer’s plans since he took over as national coach, but a shoulder injury in the Lions’ match against the Western Force at the end of May kept him out of contention until he recently made his return in the Currie Cup.
Taute on Tuesday said he was nevertheless surprised when he was called up for Springbok duty after the Golden Lions’ Currie Cup match against the Sharks on Saturday.
“I only found out after the game from coach Ackers (Lions interim coach Johan Ackermann) and it caught me totally offside,” Taute said.
“I was in the previous Bok camps and I talked to Heyneke and I knew I would be in the structures.
“But it will always be a surprise, I nearly burst out into tears when I heard it.
“It is every young boy’s dream in South Africa to represent the Springboks and that is so important to represent the country as well as you can.”
The talented youngster has made his debut for the Lions at flyhalf months after he played Under-18 Craven Week in 2009 and has developed into one of the country’s best fullbacks.
He further showed his versatility by slotting comfortably into the centre position for his franchise at Super Rugby and Currie Cup level.
Taute, however, said he had no special preference between being the last line of defence or playing in the midfield.
“I’m comfortable at fullback and at centre,” Taute said.
“Luckily I started as a fullback, but I played centre during Super Rugby and that is one of the best competitions in the world.
“That helped me to gain experience in the midfield and I feel very comfortable there and luckily in the Springbok squad you’ve got great senior players that can help you and that can carry you through very tough situations.”
He is a skilful footballer that possesses strength, speed and he has a massive kicking boot.
While his rise in the rugby ranks has been meteoric, Taute had his fair share of setbacks with the shoulder injury keeping him out of the Bok side.
“Especially after a frustrating Super Rugby season getting injured on our last game on tour, it was a very downing moment for me,” he said.
“That happens in sport and it is how you deal with it and I just worked hard on my rehab to come back a better, stronger, faster person.
“I can’t wait to represent the team and contribute where I can.”
While Taute could make his Springbok debut this weekend, he has had only a few days to come to grips with the culture and calls.
“It will never be easy to learn the calls, but the management and players around you make it easy for you so that isn’t an issue,” Taute said.
“Nothing compares to playing for the Boks.
“Every team has their own culture but here there is much more responsibility and I’ll just have to make that step up.”

I just don't rate him, simple as that. In my opinion calling him talented is drawing a long bow.

Do you mean fit again, as in free from injury, or fit again, as in, lost weight? Serious question.

I have bagged KB (Kurtley Beale) for all the reasons lots of posters have. I have always said the bloke had heaps of talent and just needed to have his head in the right place and his body fit.
After all the QC (Quade Cooper) comments KB (Kurtley Beale) now has a unique opportunity to make 10 his. QC (Quade Cooper) is injury struck but after comments may never play for Wallabies again - (may go to Mungo world as well) even when he regains fitness..
I genuinely hope KB (Kurtley Beale) friggin' flogs the Bokkies and owns that 10 jumper

hard nosed and passionate? certainly..a world class finisher? probably not

Shipperley is the more complete package from my observations

not taking anything away from Shipperly but when you at the end of an all wallaby backline a one legged blind man would look good and prob score a crap load of tries. Compare that to the basket case backline Cummins has to put up with.
