        @Daffy-Jaffy Deon Fourie plays both hooker and as a loosie.

        And surely Reinach is just emergency/insurance if there are any lingering issues with Faf.

          Thanks for that. I just assumed 'Utility forward' meant a Lock/six. I see he is 35 years old (36 in September) and played his first test this year according to Wiki.

            Yeah he’s been around forever it seems and finally got a shot against Wales.

            The other utility Mostert, is a lock/blindside. A big brute.

              Apparently the makeup of the Bok touring team is -
              Overseas 18
              WP 7
              Sharks 6
              Bulls 2
              Cheetahs 1

                No wonder they're not so good playing away at Ellis Park.

                  @pakman yes I read somewhere many now don't have recent experience of playing at altitude.

                          jesus Kurtley Beale is only 33

                          he was a pretty decent player 11-odd years ago.

                            It feels like he should be older because Lee Grant was talking him up since he was 14

                                Been ages since I caught up with Lee Grant - he's still alive but not as active on the scene as he was.

                                  Not surprising as he must be 105 by now.

                                    Am in Adelaide atm and might go to the game. Tickets in the GA/grass area are only $20. Ridiculously cheap.

                                                          Don't think they have the creative flair throughout the team to run up a large score. Unless the Wobs gift them points. Which will probably happen. I don't think they'll be as bad as Puma test 2.

                                                            An afternoon test should suit the Wallabies to play an uptempo game. They gave the Bok problems last year doing just that.

                                                                          That was a penalty fest too. 4 or 5 YC’s in that match if I recall. What I remember is Cooper kicking well and getting that game winner at the end, and a big run by Hooper.
