fixed it to reflect the truth ;)

Shurrup Kanko only plays for 1 min then leaves the field cause his head hurts :p :D

I like the look of the changes although Juan Smit at lock is some what concerning. He'll get smashed there...

This test could be a good reflection of our depth or perhaps it will underline the lack there of. Either way nice to see Kano getting a run. Spies is a legend and it's only his brilliance which has kept Kano out of the starting 15. I suspect Kano might battle a bit too in a tight game. Test rugby see's fewer opportunities for loosies to run with gay abandon which is probably why we haven't seen Spies shine and why we won't see Ryan shine but the work they both do on defense and with the little space they afforded will be imperative..

I agree 100% Rare to see loosies make big solo runs in tests. But between kanko and spies im sure 8th man is covered :D

Any word on Bakkies appeal?

He is still banned :(

South Africa's lock Bakkies Botha has lost his appeal against a two-week ban.

The Blue Bulls forward was cited for a dangerous charge on the British and Irish Lions prop Adam Jones during last Saturday's second Test in Pretoria.

It left Jones, the Wales international, with a dislocated shoulder, and he has now flown home for further treatment

This new team is actually also quite good. Just lack of experience that could count against them. Experience counts for a lot in test rugby.
