Both of their locks in that game were taller and heavier than Etzebeth. One of the props was 6'5. Louis Picamole in the back row is a unit himself.

They threw a lot of timber at the Welsh and the Welsh felled it. These boys come from farming and coal-mining stock. They have some big backs too, especially in the inside channels where we will be sending our battering rams. Dan Biggar at flyhalf is 1.88cm and 93 kgs. The centres are built like loose forwards; George North is 1.94cm and 109 kgs and Hadleigh Parkes is 1.86cm and 104 kgs.

All I am saying is the Welsh are far better equipped to deal with the game we want to play. Its going to be a bloody tough game.

They sent Josh Navidi (loose forward/flanker) back home due to injury and replaced him with Owen Lane (wing/outside centre) which is but a mere 5kg lighter. They are big boys.

Big boys indeed. Just saw the proposed starting lineup, some shifts in the backline.

George North (194cm/109kg) will start on the wing with Josh Adams (186cm/95kg) on the other side.

Parkes (187cm/101kg) and Jonathan Davies (186cm/104kg) in the centre.

Its a big backline that won't be afraid to front up to our battering rams.

Also, let's be honest here. This team under Rassie is a whole new Springbok team, Wales beat us with Pieter De Villiers as coach. Nuff said.

I’m shouting for England...

Gonna need a long shower, possibly bleach and definitely a lot of alcohol to get over this later.
