LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) in for Canham, Edmed in for Lynagh, Lonergan in for Gordon, Nasser in for Porecki/Faessler. Seem to be the only changes post Lions, or did I miss something? Canham the only player effectively dropped.

Good squad. De Luttis must be close being in contention if they're mentioning him on the injury list. I suppose he was in a wallabies camp earlier this year so maybe it's protocol.

I really hope Nic White remains 3rd string. Seems absolutely pointless playing him if he's "retired" and not going to the RWC. Lonergan no slouch either - just probably doesn't have as much dog in him at Whitey

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) - 3 tests too late. Heck. What more did he have to do?

TH prop is a big weakness.

This is going to be two very tight matches.

Is it though? They're saying Tupou is unlikely for the first match but I'm backing him to play if he's cleared the medical.

TT has not strung together a few matches in well, ever. Never good for more than 40 to 50
in a test. The drop off to the other two is substantial. If somehow TT can get healthy and play 50 in both tests you'll be okay. If one of the other two have to start you think it will be tough going. The Bok props are all in top form. Scrum is stronger than ever.

White will be in the 23, otherwise why would he come back from retirement just to hold tackle bags?
