Wallabies vs Springboks I

@kiwiwomble Rob Leota v the Springbok giants???
-
Hooper with all the work to do again. Nice to see Bell get a start but that's underwhelming. Why are they persisting with that donkey at fullback?

Need best scrummaging hooker (BPA?) to start. Mbonambi Is the key to Bok scrum. The first half scrums will be a searching examination, so also start best scrummaging locks. @NTA best placed to fill in names!
If you want big lumps, then Philip and Rodda
Picked it.

Who knows what Tom Banks needs to do to play himself out of the 15 jersey. At this point I'd even be willing to give Jock Campbell a run.
Ditto Valetini at 8. Wilson a way, way better option. Particularly because they keep sticking Valetini on that right flank when he can't do the showboating loose forward bit.

Very strong Wallabies team. Definitely favorates with Cooper back in 10.
Hope Bok rush defense is on it.

600-odd caps for that Wallabies team. Hooper with 111 of those, Slipper 106, Quade 70. Alaalatoa running out for his 50th.
Take out those 4 and you've cut the experience level in half, with 2 rookies on the bench, and 5 other players with < 10 caps. Jeez...
Looks like we're planning on playing our locks the entire game, with Leota and Samu on the bench. Will be a definite problem if Rodda or Philip go down early.

Seriously ? No way.
Totally not serious. He's just desperate for that under dog card. World champion, world number one, lion taming boks are the favourite in every match they play for a while yet

And I think if the Boks lose somehow, Mark Keohane will be ready to hire a Hitman for the ref

How do you rate Folau Fainga’a at scrum time?

Not as high as BPA, and he's got a new LHP to work with in Bell. Interesting to see how they go.

@nta Keo is an Aussie.
He's a barking mad sexpest, first and foremost.
I have no idea where he was born or what he did prior to writing articles in a very pro-Bok way, but you can't claim he's anything but a South African.
Keohane: “So the All Blacks get their way… the team pumped by England in RWC semi, embarrassed by [Argentina] in 2020 & beaten by Aus in 2020 only have to hop over the Ta$man… never known the All Blacks team to be so obvious about avoiding playing the Springboks in South Africa.”
...
These Wallabies are wimps. Siya Kolisi’s world champion Springboks will wallop them, writes Mark Keohane. It will be champ up against chump and the scoreboard will reflect this.
...
“Marius Jonker: Regardless of your nationality, you didn’t have balls to make a rugby decision tonight because in your heart you know that Willie was not in front of the kicker and that Hamish Watson should have been carded. You despicable prick. F--- you.”
