@Nepia S Barrett is definitely out until Nov so won't be involved in this game.
It would be good to have an injury update on Sotutu and Robinson.
I want JB to play at fullback because I don't see him starting on the wing for the ABs.
-
@Bovidae See above, this is my pick of the players that they have available on their site ... not of players who are currently available.
-
If Sotutu is available, I would not select him with Akira Ioane. They don't look very complementary. If fit, Tom Robinson should be at Nr.6. But I guess Foster will choose Boshier instead. A back row with Cane - Ioane - Savea is a big probability though.

They were very complementary when they played together this season.

ALB will start at 12.
On form he shouldn't.
And I acknowledge that goes counter to who I've pout at fullback.
The SI will be stronger in the tight five than the NI but weaker in the loose forwards.
Dunno about that.

Who the heck is the number 8? I have watched every game this season and I don't recall him.

Yeah Sotutu kept getting better and better as did Aoane, that's a bit of a confusing take by cg there.

@cgrant obviously doesn’t like blondes....

South lacking at 8 and 9.
Yeah the injuries to Scott Barrett (or is he NI qualified), Blackadder and Grace have reduced their back row options significantly.
Drummond and Webber definitely a step down from Smith and TJP.

Evans at 8?

Misiloi is Highlanders' loosie who has a season-ending foot injury, so won't be available.

@Kiwiwomble Will still be injured?
@Tim bugger, didn’t realise

I wouldn't mind seeing the South play Jordie at 2nd five. Which would enable them to play Goodhue at centre and Jordan at fullback - and push Ennor to the wing.
But, Jordie at fullback and Jordan at wing seems more likely than vice-versa.
