[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 751278, member: 39190"] Do you have news on injury updates I don't? As far as I know all three those highlighted players are under an injury cloud even if those injuries aren't expected to keep them out of the tournament it might mean we are going to have to shuffle for Scotland. Matfield is not as big a worry as it might've been since we have De Jager and PSdT to cover lock. We need our centers though. Otherwise its probably 12)Serf 13)JPP or some combination of those two and whoever might pass as fit towards Thursday. My main concern though is Fourie du Preez. So, here's holding thumbs. This is the defining game of the pool. Beat Scotland well and we are through tops depending on if we/they pick up any bonus points (though I probably shouldn't count the USA as 4/5 sure log points?). Go down to Scotland and things get interesting though we probably would still go through looking at BPs and points differences because one of Scotland or Samoa would be taking the other out so that a Scottish win would see us go through as 2nd while a Samoa win would through things open but in all likelyhood we'd end on top of the pile in that case assuming max points vs the US and a losing BP against Scotland.. but lets not let it get that desperate and just beat the Scots well, eh, boys? Boys?!? [/QUOTE]
