Gcobani Bobo on the SuperSport program suggested the coaches pick Faainganuku at 12 and honestly it's not the worst idea.
The Saffas are still watching Super Rugby? I thought they only focused on their new competition that they can win these days.

It's on at a favourable time for them is the big one. But also they recognize the quality of skill on display is often superior, even if their own rugby can match or better super rugby in terms of physicality.

@canefan Uhm, you know they're playing in the United Rugby Championship?
They = Bulls, Sharks, Lions and this year's URC winners, the Stormers.
No. That sounds like Super Rugby. Minus SRA.... For a guy who would follow SR religiously, play the tipping games, watch all the tests, my interest is at an all time low right now

@Kiwiwomble really looking forward to the DHL locals going against the Emirates faithful.

@Bovidae good video.
It actually reminded me of when I watched PGS play bball for Fiji under 18s or 19s in a game in Melbourne about 10 years ago. He had some skills
@ACT-Crusader That video also shows how much his body shape has changed from basketball player to rugby player.

Tuivasa-Sheck
Would like to see this sort of a team. Maybe even RTS starting over Tupaea. RTS will need to be thrown into the deep end before the World Cup at some point, sooner rather than later?
Not sure if Goodhue at 100% yet but if he is even him over Tupaea.
Taukeiaho best hooker atm but I think Ross should be on the bench atleast so a chiefs front row coming on together in Ross’ debut makes sense to me.

Thinking about PGS - this must be our most foreign born AB team in a while with him, Fakatava, Reece, LF, RTS, Akira, Ofa, Laulala, Ross, Tauki'aho and the Ginga. I think that's it? Even a couple of whities too.

@Nepia starting to look like the team we were accused of being decades ago.

TBF, it's not that bad when you break it down - only PGS came as an adult, Reece, Taukei'aho and Fakatava for school, the rest as kids.
@Bones Not sure? Lomax would have been if he was selected.
-
@Bones you might be thinking of de Groot? He was born in Oz
@ACT-Crusader that's the bugger
-
Last year we had Lomax, de Groot, Frizell in addition to those others
it's either Right wing or FB for him just like Bender was
