...with injuries to Whitelock (ankle ) and Retallick ( concussion ) , Hansen has called in Wellington loosie/lock Vaea Fifita as a replacement joining uncapped Crustie/Wellington second rower Scott Barret...



....Romanp and Tuipolotu are favoured to start...

Luke Romano and Patrick Tuipolotu are two pretty good understudies, both deserving of a chance to prove themselves . . . as if further proof was necessary!
I know us South Africans like to think we have all these world-class locks but either Tuipolotu or Romano would walk the Springbok side if Etzebeth or PSdT were unavailable.

 .. Romano out as well now flying home for a bereavement...three down but still options for Africa with Scott Barret or Vaea Fifita likely to start with Tuipolotu...
Luatua and Kaino also backup locking options if worst comes to worst...
