No UK, French or Bulls players available except potentially Andre Esterhuizen so this is the side I would select 15. Gelant 14. Edwill vd Merwe 13. Esterhuizen 12. de Allende 11. Fassi 10. Libbok 9. Faf 1. Ox 2. Marx 3. Malherbe 4. Etzebeth (c) 5. Ruben v Heerden 6. Kwagga 7. PSDT 8. Roos 16. Andre Hugo Venter 17. Mchunu 18. Hanro Jacobs 19. Moerat 20. Emmanuel Tsituka 21. Williams 22. Masuku 23. Hooker

I think yo  are very near to the mark as to the Wales test - but cannot see how the cneter combination would work out -we ave ebtter 13's than Esterhuizen.

Given the availability of players we certainly do not have better options than trying Esterhuizen at 13. We could go with Jessie Kriel but we’ve been there and done that. I’d love to see de Allende and Esterhuizen together My side chosen is not close to the one Rassie will select We won’t see Gelant or Ruben v Heerden for a start as they were stupidly overlooked for the last training squad

Then I would play Esterhuizen at 12 and De Allende at 13.    Esterhuizen would be a defense disaster at 13.
