Yeah.... I get that but who's under scrutiny? So far I've got Itoje, Mako, Hogg and VDM?

Any more?

And what about the wounded?

Any one fancy sending a video of the Boks angles at scrum time to the ref ahead of next week? For me, that and a monster Bok line out made a huge difference even if we did have a lock at 6....there is big and then there is really big. We need to be smart ahead of next week. Don't make it a wrestle. Move them about, keep it close and make the most of the last 20.

Think Gatland will fall for it and go Biggar/Farrell and a 6/2 bench split. A lot depends on the citings though,if any. I take it we will know about any citings by 19:00?

Biggar is just so one dimensional and that dimension is a gameplay that plays into the Boks strengths

Farrell doesn’t offer much more,he’s a kicking FH too. Would you risk Smith? Personally I wouldn’t

It’s not like the second test in 2009 was without incident or controversy. Think many will happy just to see the series finish and ticked off, regardless of result to be honest.
