Those do look like the runners and riders. Possibly Ben Youngs might get a look.

I was going to say, it's hard to pick a squad without knowing how many games will be played. That article suggests that the tour itinerary is not finalised either.

Yep
Watson over LRZ?
Nah
-
Springbokke will be more or less the same as in the WC final. F Louw retired and currently it look like Marco van Staden will be his replacement.
Backup for Pollard a worry at the moment. Probably Jantjies next in line.

Nah
Not so cut and dried IMO. The Malteser is ahead I think but factor in that Watson has been labouring in a dysfunctional team AND has the pedigree. Close call but I’d be happy with either.

Suggestion is that ‘extras’ will be two props, one hooker, one lock, one halfback, and one back three.
If six props taken, I’d hazard a guess at Furlong/Sinckler/Porter on TH and Jones/Vunipola/Marler on LH. Which would leave Healy and Sutherland very unlucky.
Hooker I’d expect Owens/George and Cowan-Dickie.
