For Aussie based Ferner's, this game will be televised on BeIn Sports 3 at 4:35 pm.
Was checking on FoxSports and almost had a panic attack when I couldn't find it.
Checking now on the other AB games.
Cheers
BeIn have got them all.

You all sound like those two old judges off the Muppets. Looking forward to this. Love seeing some of the next generation come through.

We get to see that in Super Rugby.
Probably the most mickey mouse AB side ever?

Depends on what XV is put on the field ... we've had weakish touring teams play matches in the past too.
In a year where Frizell and a lock from the Highlanders jumped over everyone I don't even think their is a hierarchy anymore.

Weakish, yes, even second 15's but a 3rd XV in a test match?

You'd think after all these boring repetitive games against sub par opposition like Aussie, we'd welcome a match against a team we rarely play....who, like us, also beat SA last time they played one another, in fact, Japan have a better record v SA than us!!
Does it seem like we are taking them too lightly?
Don’t know. But I can guarantee it that if we lose, plenty will come out and say we took them too lightly....

We can guarantee it, because if we do somehow lose, it'll be true...
Better not though, far to much fun to be had at the Springboks expense for now...

If you based a rugby players ability on personality then Richie McCaws career would be more like Sam Hardings. I don't really see it being an issue.

I'm not advocating for it - just thinking he's the most likely candidate.

Dalton Papali'i has captained a lot of Age Grade teams and his profile on the ABs website talks about "his obvious leadership potential", but it would be a massive risk to make him captain on debut and the youngest ABs captain of all time.
I'd give the captaincy for this test to Patrick Tuipulotu.

@sparky Procter?
He's no Mike Brewer
Very astute. You have a good eye for detail.

For some reason I thought Brewer captained the ABs on debut ? turns out he didn't and a pretty poor post from me has been rendered utterly shit. If we could just move on I'd appreciate it.
