Tapuai for Barnes
Shipperley for Mitchell
Samo for higgers
Slipper for Robinson

2 forced, 2 unforced

Horne is lucky as once again we can't make too many changes.

I thought Barnes was just average in the first Bledisloe.

Beale has been short of football and was poor in the 3rd Wales test too.

I'm not particularly arguing for Barnes to be retained, I just don't see him getting dropped after last night's test. If McCabe is still out I think he will retain the 12 jersey.

JOC (James O'Connor) and McCabe should be back for this game.

What is the injury status of Palu, TPN and Palmer?

No disrespect to McCabe or O'Connor but if they come straight back into the test side it makes a joke of the Cooper not fit excuse trotted out a couple of weeks ago.

The mockery of that theorem has already been demolished by Mitchell's selection.

Geez, I feel for Mitchell's dire run of injuries. Brett Papworthesque in its wretchedness.

I thought Mitchell had been playing Rugby for a while. I'm certain he had a run with the Waratahs before the end of the season.

At least one trot around Coogee Oval for the Wicks as well, vs the Mighty Two Blues IIRC. Made a difference in the upset victory by the green team.

Here is the Bok team we will not see. Definitely not.

Lambie, Hougaard, JdV, Steyn, Habana, Jantjes, Pienaar
Vermeulen, Alberts, Coetzee, Kruger, Etzebeth, Cilliers, Strauss, Beast

Instead exactly the same team that that fucked up to emphatically in Mendoza will play. I get the feeling that Meyer is not goinn to admit that he has been wrong anytime soon.

Our coaches seem to have a lot in common.

Wobs can bank the points now. Ariba, ariba, Handre, handre!

Yeah, why make changes? We only lost by 22, failed to score, and never even looked like getting points.
