That Wikipedia listing is bullshit, aru website has him at 186cm and 100kg. That is pretty light for a number 8 and although he isnt a bad ball carrier by any means, he cant compete with the vunipolas, vermuleans of the world.
How about this team, is a bit left field but i reckon would do a good job against the boks.

te="Strewthcobber, post: 700398, member: 21185"]Why did he get fired?
My bad, he actually resigned, montpellier have had a few injuries in the last 2 months and the results suffered because of it. Guess he felt the pressure.
Clermont vs Munster was a good game. Brilliant defence from Clermont and uncharacteristic errors from munster decided the result. Clermont are the third team to beat munster in Ireland, in the Heineken/European cup in over 50 attempts, also they are the first french team to do so.
Mario Ledesma the former forwards coach for montpellier is available as he was fired a couple weeks ago. Could be worth looking at him to replace andrew blades. Montpellier generally have one of the better scrums in the top 14 so could be a very good punt.
i know its unrelated but has anyone noticed how much Bernard Foley has changed recently :P

For the wales test i would be pick:
1. Robinson - very solid at LHP and around the park
2. Taf - solid scrum and good line out throwing last game, so picked due to line out form at the moment.
3. Kepu - solid scrum, makes good breaks and has been doing more tighter stuff too.
4. Pyle - new...
LHP - Robinson for obvious reasons. THP- either Kepu or Palmer although it would be interesting to see Palmer go up against Ben Franks and Tony Woodcock, to get the real measure of him. And Hooker I'm torn between Moore and Taf as both are in good form atm.
