For me personally - things really are looking up on both the Foxsport and Test Rugby sides. Last week I had only 10 players and 2 bench players in the Test Rugby squad and the result was a score that could have been significantly lower than what I could reasonably have expeted
On the Foxsport side - I now have 12 definite starters - but the three outstanding ones are Cowan (Force), Georg Smith and Mogg (Brumbies). All three are key players of the brumbies and Force teams and I do not foresee that in a game against the Crusaders White would leave out Smith and Mogg from he team. If Mogg is not playing at all - I have Julian Savea on the bench and in the case of Cowan - I have Benn Robinson on the bench.
I shoud hopefully score well this week in the cases of both squads.
In the Cup competition my opponnt will have a hard time to get a full starting team in the competition. He will have to select 2 props - since his first choice prop Slipper - is on the bench and neither of the other two props he has is in their teams at all. To have a full starting team - he will also have to make one change at loosie - so his other changes are limited. He will have to play McKibben at scrummie since he has Pretorius as his other scrummie. I am largel dependent on Tameifuna, Bekker and Anscombe to up their perormances this wek and also on my dark horse player to do his ordinary. I hope my captain maintains his standard of last week.
