Hmmm, I don't think Oz are anywhere near Ireland - on the other hand - Brisvegas brings out the best in them and, historically, the worst in the Boks.

Then maybe they should ask for banjos at all of their matches.

Bomb squad will be licking their lips at the prospect of Nonggorr coming on. Not the best scrummager

[OomPB]

Allan Alaalatoa, the Springboks favourate.

[KiwiMurph]

Refreshingly stable Wallabies team.

Can't wait for this game.

[antipodean]

Honestly looks like Schmidt is playing a long game with these selections - especially in the forwards

[Bovidae]

I wonder if Schmidt was tempted to go with a 6:2 bench to match the Boks.

If they didn’t have a couple of injuries in the loose forwards he may have considered it.

Out for personal reasons, his father passed away this week.

For anyone that has Sky, this game starts at 4pm and is on the Sky Select channel.

What's the change?

[W32]

Feels like the world rankings don't mean anything. Old springbok team on the decline

[W32]

PSDT in at lock

Not a lot of evidence of that thus far.

[W32]

They lost 2 locks to niggles in training

[W32]

Ah no!
