Wales squad looks pretty weak

Maybe it shows a lack of respect for the present state of Springbok rugby and/or the selections.

Alternatively the present selected Welsh side is just a pawn, guinea pig, foot soldier and red-herring...

The side looks pretty weak - why?   And are you sure about Wyn-Jones having had only 8 caps/   He has been the Wales captain for many years.

Wyn Jones has 117 caps for Wsles an 9 for the Lions.

Biggar injured?

One must never ask Mozart for further comments on anything - too much to be expected from him,        

You stupid barbarian - I did not know which Wyn Jones was referred to and had the right to ask about the player.  At leas Xavi was civilized and gave an answer.   As to the rest - that backline of the Welsh looks dangerous.  Basically all of Jantjies, Esterhuizen nad Kriel have defense problems - the first two in particular - and I think that the Welsh will have a field day on that score.  

Depending on selection the SA Tight 5 should hold their own - particularly if Akker is playing.  

There kicking game is vey dangerous and Gelant will be found wanting as well.   As for the loosies they will be stronger than the SA team will be.  The only half-decent loosie will be Dan du Preez - the others are all BS. 

I also think that any international flyhalf would be better than Jantjies. And  Gelant vs Anscombe - Gelant will come off second best.

...both teams with players pushing for RWC positions...that should be motivation enough... so expecting a decent game with some good expansive running rugby Scarlets style...even if nobody turns up - i read somewhere the game clashes with the NHL Stanley Cup finals..

I had to look that one up.

Nah ... just give me a nice cold draught and I'm a happy chappie.

I'm more of a Captains and Cola guy myself unless I'm feeling posh. Then I'll throw in a slice of lemon.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!

Yeah ... a slice of lemon poshes up most drinks ... think I'll treat myself tonight and put a slice in my draught. 

One day I'll try the top end Whiskies when my pallet can appreciate them. 

Right now if we're drinking whisky, it's been served in shot glasses to be chased with one or other canned energy drink.

My mate in London collects these fine single malts but never drinks them. He also said to try them with a few drops of pure water.

Anyway this match, I think is just a rehearsal and not to be taken too seriously...it's just a manouver by SA (to probably eliminate some quotas without offending or attracting political attention and interference...maybe a way to justify the real deserved players later ) in the Welsh context, I think Gatland is just testing reserves and up and coming players...there definately is a plan there.

Convoluted as convoluted.

The plan is simple: make money. SA rugby is an industry of debt that is gaping for air. They multiply games to make money.

WA is the friendly partner that lends a hand.

Money. Money. Money.

This is even more important as EN has shared its discontent with SA: they are no longer a worthy commercial partner. EN regrets having to meet SA. So SA must field full forces against EN. Matter of credit.
