Our Squad is mental for the Autumn Internationals. Very odd choices yet again.

Only concern is whether the Japanese players will be in form. Their last game would have been in September, 10 weeks with no games and then straight into a test match against Ireland. Not sure how they going to get match sharp. 

I would play them off the bench with the aim to start against England or even a full game against Italy

Goosen can only last 40...to risky to take him with, Willemse should stay on 12 and Boeta should be there instead of Goosen.

If Goosen can get totally match fit before EOYT, then by all means....he still looks hesitant to go all the way...Agreed do need some Guidance there with the Young guns.....what is the story with Jantjies?  Is he off the map completely?

Yup, Swys pointed out that he doesn't pin his makers and just shift the ball. Where as before he got injured, he would run at full pace. No he just stands there. His game management has been poor too.
