My point exactly. AC would have to replace a player of colour at 12 to have RJVR in the team.

Oh, I agree with your RJVR post. De Allende is not in the game, his mindset has not yet recovered. Then there is the Kriel-le Roux debacle… Le Roux is too predictable in his current state, Kriel needs more experience at the back, maybe a black player has a chance here, touchy area the Springbok #15. Kolisi is out, he will be replaced. Coetzee will give more clarity on Saturday when he calls the squad, there may be surprises.

Looks like Whiteley will be back for the final. Hoping Coles also makes it back, although Riccitelli handled himself very well.

Iirc, Coles missed out on the 2015 game. I wish him well, but one should not play with tender ribs. Coles is a game changer, an centre on the hooker.
 
Andries Coetzee as a possible Bok bolter at 15? He's been one of the unsung heroes for the Lions. Given Le Roux's serious lack of form as well as no other obvious replacement (no, Pat Lambie doesn't count) it might be worth a go.

yes he does, i would put lambie at the back.
 
Normally wet weather would benefit a South African side, but the Lions are more potent running the ball.

Do you remember the Lions win over the Blues (43-5) on Ellis Park? Soaking wet, and it didn't stop the Lions to play a very expansive gave with lots of chip and cross kicks.

Who forgot about that brilliant Skosan try from a Jantjies cross kick
