While I don't agree with many of the forward selections- this is the first time I have ever seen an OZ/NZ media publication selected a backline with so many South African players.

Sanchez at 10, Moroni at 13, any 12 ahead of Damian. Was outplayed in every game this season. I'd change both locks, the loose trio is debatable, but Wiese needs to be there. Kwagga has been better than Matera. I prefer our front row with Marx at 2 (Trevor, Marx, du Toit/Louw).

6 NZ, 3 Oz, 1 Bargie, 5 Boks…….I guess NZ thinks it’s advantage NZ. I’d choose Savea and for me that’s the only NZ certainty. Maybe Smith who  has been terrific so far this RC.

HAHAHAHAHAHA the omelette dope crashes again.

Allende chosen for the team.

Pity Du Toit wasn't fit as he would surely have been selected and poor Org would have turned a brighter shade of purple.

Lood physically dominated, and Damian has done nothing constructive aside from a couple of pilfers and one solid tackle, and one pass to Willie against Argentina in the second test (a shuffle ball made effective by Willie targeting the space between the two defenders). Damian has ruined every attacking opportunity he has been a part of aside from that. Every interaction with Am has been ineffective and a failure. He doesn't create space, he doesn't generate momentum. He has been physically dumped (stopped dead in his tracks head-on and forcibly hit backwards at least a metre off his feet and onto his backside) at least five times this season. I have never seen that from a Bok centre before. I don't recall such frequency by any Bok, or any other carrier for any other country. You plastics lose because you don't pay attention to detail. are too emotional and dishonest and make assumptions to fill the gaps in your knowledge of the game as well as the Boks. The Bok midfield has been a failure, and even Pollard has been outplayed in most games.
