    3-0 to the Boks

    Maybe 2-1 if they go 2 ahead and then experiment for the 3rd Test

    The Wales teams struggled in the URC. Our lot shouldn't underestimate them. There are a lot of experience in that squad.

    @Machpants this is the squad till end of year. Our season ends next week, so they need a big squad. There can be SA A matches aswell.

    Good to see some new faces.

    Ah that makes sense. Yeah boks have a lot of older players, most still good, but some are past their use by (e.g. Le Roux) and fresh blood is good

    Interesting. Assuming these guys are lock/blindside types?

    🙂 was going to use "lock/6" but realised you guys number your flankers wrong.

    Open side and 2 is an interesting combo at this level.

    Even Mealamu was a converted flanker, but not sure when he made the switch.

    @booboo He started his career at WP as a nr 2 and switched to 6 later.

    He is in very good form with Roos for the Stormers.

    Pretty sure he played under Nienaber and Rassie at the Stormers

    @akan004 Doc Craven use to say when WP and N Tvl are strong, then Bok rugby is also strong. They play in the URC Final on Saturday.

    Would be great to have their prop depth for sure.
