Good to see McK and Roigard getting a start. Also, good to see LF starting . There are a lot of top players on the bench so if things go horribly wrong we have plenty of strength to call on. Should be an entertaining game.

Makes it a tough call for Fantasy Rugby as to which scrumhalf to pick . . . Roigard vs Namibia or Williams vs Romania.

Think it has to be Williams as he's playing on the wing.

I have only seen Roigard in that game against the Boks. He somehow scored that try but looked really slow getting to the try line

I thought it was one of the forwards that scored the try - am I missing something as Rooi I recall you calling for him to start ahead of Smith

I’m clearly wrong as live he looked slow and not very athletic

Saffex, you are right about Roigard’s pace. Looked like he had lead in his boots…. Strength of a loose forward but unfortunately the pace of one as well!

For someone with no pace, he sure scores a lot of tries!

Ok over 10 metres Rooi but no top end.

Well, at least the cleanout guys will be able to catch up to him. lol
