The selectors don't name the 23, so it's irrelevant whether he's a selector or not. Selector is only involved in selecting the entire squad
I don't believe that's true. Fox made it pretty clear during the Irish series he's involved in the team selections.

@ACT-Crusader well the 2nd part of my post was pure sarcasm, I do not honestly believe the forwards coach would have no input into the selection of the pack.

@Old-Samurai-Jack I think it would be impossible to have a forward coach with zero input into the seleciton of the forward pack...recipe for disaster...
so on thinking, yeah thats probably exactly what happens...the selectors pick thier team and ask the forwards coach to work with them.
Ryan himself said that he would only be concentrating on aspects of the forward play. He hasn't had time to do lineout, scrum, maul attack, maul defence and interplay. As @ACT-Crusader says, he will have had input eg this group or this guy are doing this aspect well but I doubt he gets final say

I blame Fox

@nzzp One thing Barrett is trying to do is take on the line so that the back line is less predictable although they are predictable. Moanga needs space and is a flyweight. Possibly better when everyone is fatigued.
His tendency to go backwards to find a hole is a bit disastrous at Test level. And that’s ignoring that he needs to be hidden on defence.

Call me arrogant, but i firmly believe the result on Saturday is more down to us than them.
Far from arrogant, you’re being wonderfully generous. Takes all the pressure off the boks and us poor unfortunates who support them.

Looking at the photo (top left) it might give a clue as to the back line. Or not. Speculate away.
4 backs is certainly a novel tactic.

You would've thought an expert marksman had decent eyesight...

I'm not even sure who a couple of players are there. So if we take out whoever is in the bib is that a QT/Ioane midfield with Jordie at 15 and the wings Clarke and Jordan?

I see Clarke, rieko, Beauden and Quinn but pray do tell if you spot others.

Def Jordie but I'm unsure who is in the cap. Could be Jordan with a mo?

I was getting Dalton vibes for the last guy...
