I'll be behind the team Saturday, obviously but I'm somewhat disappointed with the same selection. I think the Boks will know exactly what to expect now and will be prepared. I have a feeling this is going to a third test.
I agree - I wouldn’t have selected Hogg: his mistake would have cost a try if it wasn’t ruled out for a knock on <cheers>

Just 1 Welsh based player in the starting XV - only 2 Welsh players in the team, assuming Biggar is fit to play.

That’s what you get, I suppose for finishing 5th in the Six Nations ….. Hang on, …. <whistle>

Josh Adams must be fuming after playing so well in the lead up to the tests and giving up being at the birth of his child. I imagine Liam Williams is none too pleased as well.
 
I am surprised Liam didn't get the nod over Hogg as we didn't look too good under the high ball last week. I thought he would leave Josh out again but I expect him to play in the final test.

I'm very surprised as well. Just how much influence has Townsend got over Gats?

I can see the Boks winning this one. In which case, the final test line up will probably be very similar to this one and no run out for the likes of Adams and LRZ. It's going to be interesting.

Personally if I was Josh Adams I'd be on the next plane home spending the time with my new born baby.

Absolutely. Hope they get smashed by the Bokks.
 
Well I'm not as hyped as I was last week and the expected Bok backlash will be furious, at least to start with. I still think SA will win this. It certainly feels like Gats is "parking the bus". Should be a great contest no matter which way it goes.

The Jocks cannot play ‘big time’ rugby. Hogg has been an embarrassment, and VDM even worse.

Our back 3 can’t catch: I’d drop them all - Williams and Adams will have to play next week, and I’d play Daly or even LRZ
