Ouch. Kolisi and PSDT hard to replace. I imagine Kolbe comes back in and there will be a few other unforced changes?

For me

1. Nche 2. Mbonambie 3. Louw
4. Dejager 5. Etzebeth
6. Mostert 8. C.Weise 7. Vanstaden
9. Williams 10. Pollard 11. Kolbe 12. Esterhuizen 13. Kriel 14. Mapimpi 15. Fassi
16. Marx 17. Venter 18. Koch 19. Snyman 20. Smith 21. Reinach 22. Willemse/Libbok 23. Deallende

This will be bloody interesting, both teams will lose a couple of players through injury (when does this not happen these days), and everyone saying the Boks will be coming out with fire after last week. I would also suggest the Wallabies will be a little more comfortable and know they can win, so won't get knocked aside easily either. From a neutral it is very intriguing.

I just thought to mention how many mates I have talked to over here in NZ, were pleased with result on weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the test

Well the Wallabies win helped put the AB to the top of the ladder.
But when we beat them in the Bledisloe cup the good feel will disappear quickly enough:cool:

Lol hate to tell you this mate, the ones at Golf Club didn't know or care about rankings.. The ones I spoke to just enjoyed the test and how Wallabies came back.(Although a couple of them may of enjoyed it a kiwi coach etc :D )
Actually just watched a good podcast with Victor Matfield and JK on it, and Matfield was really good to listen too. He really has a good rugby brain, and he said he couldn't believe the Boks didn't stop the wide passes etc once they got a big lead. Reckons that was why their loosie ended up loosing the race to second phase, as Wallaby loosie won the race in second half.

Actually would add, in general most were Wallabies against Lions also.

So disappointing to hear SANZAAR copyright struck the original to oblivion. As I understand it Stan have been really good at enabling Squidge (and others) with footage recently, but there's not much they can do when the competition management takes this position.
