Boks v Wobblies @ Loftus

He hasn't got a clue

@KiwiMurph Lambie at 15? new halves? I would imagine this is very much an attempted return to the 07-09 kick and bash. That'll work long term...

Coetzee is using a dartboard for selection in some ways, but in others its pretty obvious: kick the shit out of it.
Not sure de Jongh is the best defensive centre they could pick, and with the inexperience of Kriel at 12 we should be attacking the fuck out of that channel - IF we can get the ball wide enough. So I can only assume Alistair has them both there to do what the ABs did and rush the fuck out of Quade+Foley.
Likewise, I don't like Kerevi's defense at 13 for us, but hopefully this game sees a return to form for Folau, running into that channel between Kerevi and Foley.
Other than that, the boot of Hodge might be entertaining to watch in a shootout with Morne from either side of the halfway mark.

@Bones I presume Cheika is waiting for the paperwork on another Fijian to be Australianised.
Naivalu in. Timani out

Good to know. The suspense was killing me
Hodge could be in for a busy day. This Boks side is pretty ill disciplined.

Ok, I'm still really really struggling to see what it is that has people rating Folau so much. I'd easily take Smith, Dagg and NMS over him, without taking into account other countries fullbacks. He's far from no 1.
Some very dodgy steals by both sides at the breakdown right in front of Barnes, definitely not holding own bodyweight.
Moore is bloody still having a whinge at every single stoppage, has nobody had a word to him to just take a breath?
The boks making plenty of half chances, just no cohesion and linking. If they turn that around they'll come out on top, but it's not looking likely.
