I reckon so...

What time is the team announcement? 4pm?

I'm not sure. Probably Thursday early afternoon

Around 16:30 I read somewhere.

Not a bad shout. Coming off the bench is okay?

Lol
Decent backline. Nr9 has some work to do

Happy for the brothers. Was hoping to see Grant and Manie start again. One feels there's going to be a lot of space for them to exploit.

I meant wrong about the team announcement being Thursday.

Coming off the bench for a first cap is to be expected

Nah, Manie needs to go.

Build with other fly-halves - Handré, Sasha, Jaden, et al

What happened to Willie's 100th test match. I understand that the England game was a no no.

But Wales?

He's got two to go so will have to wait until next year

We host Italy for two tests next year as part of the inbound tour as well as a Tier 2 nation (to be confirmed), so Rassie will likely use those to get WLR to 100 tests, if his commitment to get Willie to 100 tests is to be believed.

If may ask.. why was the England game a no no for Willie?

Sure Rassie will but Manies still got lots to offer. It's clear Rassie still has faith in him. He's only 27. Still very young and still learning. Sure, there work ons but that can be said of most players.

I suspect Willie is nursing a niggle.

Might be our first unbeaten run in 11 years for our spring tour while we are very heavily rotating. This team looks strong and capable of getting the win for us. Very impressed with the squad in a whole, although it feels like everything hasn't all clicked together for us yet.

 

[Werner1975]

Nice, exciting team. Happy for Cameron to get a game and a debut. Strong bench! Just hope its not raining/snowing on Saturday as this team is geared for speed.

Because Fassi is our best fullback and we needed our best on the field against England.

Doesn't mean Willie isn't a good fullback, just not the best right now.
