Can't wait to see how that loose forward trio works together against a bigger Springbok pack.
What?

Good team selection I think,Taking into account injuries etc.
The selection looks like it has been well thought out to combat the Boks usual game plan.So ya reckon Fozzie is secretly on holiday?
Maybe at fat club?

I am starting to think he is on a diet and thinking straight.
He is getting more right than I thought he would ( That hurts saying that,I feel dirty.) -
Yeah can't be upset with the team.
Not sold on Jordan yet, his "issues" are the kind that could really be exposed by the Bokke, so hopefully his improvement arc continues and they're almost gone.
Patty T is usually decent off the bench - if possible I'd throw a handy sum on him to steal the first lineout after he comes on.
Hope Ofa is back up to speed after last week. Deadly front row change.

@bones im hoping hes one of those players that level up when playing the best

I'll take a guess you're talking Jordan? That would be bloody cool if so. I'm still uneasy.

On the subject of Jordan, it's been good to see him improving his passing game. Something he hasn't shown too much of at the Crusaders so far. Hats off to the coaching team for that.

Careful. Some ferners get upset with constant Fozzie fat jokes. Not me though, keep em coming !

And didn't think Pat T had earned a place. Hopefully it motivates him because we have a high energy bench that could run boks off their feet.
Being an impact sub off the bench is his best role. High energy for 20 mins.

Jesus there some clueless comments here, not all of them, but these leapt out. More stuff to be up on the changing room walls 😜
This is not the same team that won the World Cup. Let's be very clear on that. They've lost a number of their players who have headed off overseas
SA freely pick from anywhere
And two years ago, they were playing a lot more open and expansive rugby than this team is showing us this year."
Obviously didn't watch the semi versus Wales
The fullback is fine; Willie le Roux is a very good player
Was
Is.
"Willie le Roux is a very good player"
“Willie le Roux was a very good player” he has been average for quite sometime
oh not arguing with that, I just couldn't find Mains saying that, he blamed the centre, props..

3 Barretts starting. Only second group of 3 brothers to be ABs?

@taniwharugby Good article this one, great writer.

Imagine if it hadn't already happened this season, it might be slightly more exciting 😬

I'm sorry, didn't check writer's name.
My beef with him isn't that he's not a good writer, he just chose to be a troll (and not sure he actually likes rugby union anyway). -

I think it has happened quite a few times but I still go, wow, I remember when it was a bit weird to have two Whetton ABs..

Do Reiko and Akira have a brother ? I hope not cos he’d be feeling all sorts of stink about not playing too.
