[QUOTE="Mr Ruggleby, post: 918698, member: 41553"] Whilst I love Underhill and Curry as players, I feel like if you pick both to start against this SA pack, we will get demolished. Hepburn is also undersized and among the rest, only Itoje is known for being particularly physical around the park, even then it's mostly athleticism rather than the gritty, aggressive smash that the entire Springbok 8 have. (Underhill is obviously huge in defence, but even he will get battered down with multiple waves of Marx, Etzebeth, Vermeulen, PTSD, Mostert, Kolisi). I think EJ will go with: 1. Hepburn 2. Hartley/George 3. Williams 4. Itoje 5. Kruis 6. Rhodes 7. Curry 8. Morgan 9. Youngs 10. Farrell 11. Brown 12. Te'o 13. Tuilagi 14. May 15. Daly 16. George/Hartley 17. Moon 18. Sinckler 19. Shields 20. Underhill/Mercer 21. Care 22. Ford 23. Ashton I still think we are lacking physicality and think we will struggle to win the game unless it's a dry day, Farrell has a stormer and our backs expose the inexperience and occasional defensive lapses of the SA back-line without De Klerk and Le Roux. , [/QUOTE]
