Eben Etzebeth will continue to lead the side in the injury-absence of Warren Whiteley, but the squad will be without Jan Serfontein, who asked not to be considered for the tour as he wants to settle in at French club Montpellier, who he has joined recently. Coetzee also announced that Siya Kolisi will return to Cape Town after the Test against France in Paris on 18 November as his wife, Rachel, is due to give birth the following week. He will not be available for the Test against Italy on 25 November in Padova, but will re-join the group for the final tour match in Cardiff against Wales. Players who are contracted to overseas clubs – Franco Mostert, Francois Louw and Elton Jantjies – will not be considered for selection for the 2 December encounter against Wales, as this Test falls outside the international window. Other players not considered for selection for the four-week tour because of injury or other reasons include amongst other: Warren Whiteley (No 8), Jaco Kriel (flank), Frans Malherbe (prop), Sbu Nkosi (wing), Ruan Combrinck (wing) and Jan Serfontein (centre). -

Pity that Connacht lost Shane O’Leary to Canada. Himself and AJ McGinty who was capped by USA were both useful 10s. Instead we have frickin Bleyendaal qualifying next year. Dumb.

Corey Flynn has hung up his boots. Great player with a great career.
coreyflynn222 Last night I had the privilege of playing my final professional rugby game for the World 15 against Japan. I leave this game having made some amazing friends and having had some amazing experiences. -
I've updated the first post of this thread (http://www.thesilverfern.com/post/186962) with the broadcast details of the matches to be played on 10-12 November (depending on where you are). See also at the bottom of that post if you're outside NZ. Some details may change, so I'll check them later in the week.

@stargazer Very much appreciated, @stargazer!

Manu Tuilagi update, from the Times UK
Manu Tuilagi: A witchdoctor found three lady spirits who had married onto me
“I saw the witchdoctor for two hours a day for four days. She massaged my whole body — all I needed was a towel and the Fijian oil. She was half-Fijian and half-Samoan and found out that there were three lady spirits who had married themselves on to me for the last three years.
“The witchdoctor told me that was why I had been injured. The spirits wanted me for themselves — they wanted to punish me and injuring me was the way to do it. Every time I played — bang.
“Instead of beating me physically they made sure I was injured but that is gone now and the whole body massages have blocked the spirits from me. They can’t see me, they can’t find me now. Although when they read the newspaper they will know where I am again.

I was quite surprised he came out to the public with this. Western cultures wouldn't understand this part of our Samoan culture.

I've seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Witch doctors severely hindered his fighting ability.

England team to play Argentina.
England XV: Mike Brown; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Henry Slade, Elliot Daly; George Ford, Ben Youngs; Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley (capt), Dan Cole; Courtney Lawes, George Kruis; Chris Robshaw, Sam Underhill, Nathan Hughes
Replacements: Jamie George, Ellis Genge, Harry Williams, Joe Launchbury, Tom Curry, Danny Care, Alex Lozowski, Semesa Rokoduguni
Interesting to see Slade given a go at 12, he's been playing either 10 or 13 for his club, though I see him more as a 12. Seems Eddie does too. Mike Brown perhaps a bit lucky to be starting as he seems to have lost a little pace but has a acquired a reluctance to pass. Still a safe option at 15 though.
