Not exactly bad options are they Lou - it’s actually becoming a difficult decision to decide the best combinations for an 80 min game.

It’s like saying - this is the rule but don’t use it because it’s unsporting. Crazy argument.

'The phoney war on the Greatest Rivalry tour is already gale-force in its intensity.'

The timing of these tests are tough for the AB’s, with so many players coming back from injury at the same time. It’s just hard to tell what level of matchday sharpness and match fitness they have, whereas as they get the players back, RWC 2027 is starting to look a much stronger matchday 23 for them, with more depth in the forwards.

I still think SA will start with Eben & Lood, with Nortje off the bench at half time to replace Lood.

It will all depend on Scooter’s fitness but I think you could see Holland & Tuipulotu start, with potentially Scooter at 6 (to help that scrum), with Vaa’i coming on at half time. It’s almost a few games early for the AB’s with Holland, Scooter, Blackadder all coming back from injury, so not sure how sharp and match fit they are at this stage.

Not really. They’re choosing a 10 to replace a 13. That doesn’t make much sense. Besides, Mo’unga isn’t versatile — he’s a 10…

If we were going to bring in a player from another position, we probably would have had more need for a scrum-half, especially with Roigard’s calf starting to cause concern, or perhaps a fullback, since several of our wingers aren’t versatile enough to cover 15.

No worries.

Yeah good point, surely just a penalty try if it really was the difference between scoring and not?

Couldn’t agree more. There’s an accusation that people want rugby to become league. But it becoming gridiron would be just as bad if not worse.

If he does go that route he’ll probably start with Sadie & use Porthen off the bench, as his athleticism in the last 30-35mins is peak!

Seven clips the Wallabies will be analysing after another tight win over Japan

Well, actually…

Fatigue is a consequence of work so if 60 minutes have elapsed and the players who started the game are not fatigued you'd have to seriously question whether they've been doing enough.

We’ve had this conversation PMcD - it’s about mass across the whole impact pack. The Boks know how to stack the pack with 6 impact giants. The ABs must respond - two impact locks a must for me especially to support Numia (and my bet is that Louw, PSdT, and Eben with Wiese at 8 will be assembled on the TH side for the first scrum to destroy Numia). We need Holland, Vaa’i at 6 and a fresh Sititi at 8. Time to get real about this!!

To loose an experienced player like that would normally leave a big hole Lou but I actually think they would switch Du Toit to LHP and give either Sadie or Porthen a chance off the bench.

They have done so well to develop such depth in a relatively short space of time with the emergence of these new props.

Right so KD is meant to ignore blatant infringements from the AB to keep his overall penalty count down and inline with his usual metrics? Play on AB - regardless of blatant penalties? Front row dropping binds and overextending and collapsing is pretty clear and obvious to me when there is video evidence of this. Anyway… let’s see how much he allows the ABs to get away in the test he will referee.

Steve Borthwick makes 5 changes to his 2025/26 Elite Player Squad

I’m not too sure who was actually 1st choice between Dingwall, Lawrence, BJvR - that’s part of the problem . . . . but Atkinson got some games at the end of the year after Borthers couldn’t make his mind up who to play at 12 or 13 for most of last season.

It felt like we added to the confusion at centre last season rather than getting the clarity we needed.

'Bit unfair': Bulls boss Johan Ackermann's vow before All Blacks clash

Aah yes, by “fell by the wayside weeks before” you mean the Stormers lost in the semi-final to Leinster by 9 points after being right in it with 15 minutes to go when they got an unfortunate yellow card whereas the Bulls got steamrolled again in a final by 29 points against the same side. I had forgotten the details for a second.

But yes, it’s true the Bulls played 1 extra game and that it was 2 weeks after the last Stormers game. So it is more or less equally tough for both teams playing the All Blacks at this moment. Happy?

That is how it usually goes, but things change quickly. Ox being fit for the Boks would also be massive….hope he is ready to go, so we can see him vs Lomax again

'The phoney war on the Greatest Rivalry tour is already gale-force in its intensity.'

Given the emerging strength at THP with Sadie & Porthen, I still think they may switch Du Tout back to LHP over Steenekamp, which feels like a stronger 80 min scrum that will be very destructive.

They have so many options to maintain a very strong scrum. Ox/Marx/Louw, followed by DuToit/Wessells/Porthen would be a very tough combo to counter and a very good carrying option to finish out games.

'The phoney war on the Greatest Rivalry tour is already gale-force in its intensity.'

Yeah for sure. That’s kind of my point. On a dominant scurm, there are some good moments for the 8 to attack. One good moment is when you start to get that go forward ball and the opposition flanks dig in trying to help their proppies. But now, they keep the ball way past that to be sure they get the penalty advantage until the scrum more or less disintegrates, and everybody kind of knows the penalty or a reset is coming so the proppies are standing up and the flanks are getting ready to defend, and the ball is bouncing around and hard to get out.
