[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 922906, member: 13739"] If I were Gats I'd be seriously considering a number of those that played v Tonga to be involved v SA: - Liam Williams. Deserves to start, and imo that should be at the expense of Halfpenny. -Owen Watkin. I'd be very tempted to start Watkin (who was excellent I thought), instead of Parkes who's having a bit of a lull. - Rhys Patchell. I'd have Patchell in the 23, not fussed which of him or Anscombe starts. - Tomos Williams/Aled Davies. Both put their hands up. I'd maybe start Aled Davies v SA with Williams or Gareth Davies on the bench. - Ellis Jenkins. Maybe wasn't exceptional v Tonga, but I'd like to see him and Tipuric played together, again test the dual 7 approach. Don't think Lydiate has been all that tbh, although I understand why he may suit SA's physical game. - Jake Ball. Thought he was excellent v Tonga ( my MOTM) and I'd start him v SA with Hill on the bench. - Dee/Elias. Was really impressed with Elias off the bench. Dee was good as well. I've thought for a while that Dee especially is good enough to get a start in one of the big games. Ken is still first choice, but it'd be good to test Dee or Elias from the start. [/QUOTE]
