[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1093240, member: 60236"] I'm going to be so happy when Fourie gets a cap. He was always a player I thought was incredibly unlucky between ~2010-2013 to not get some kinda cap as he was often one of our best runners of the ball and fetchers. Totally deserves this. I'm expecting that it will be Elstadt and Kwagga (one starting and one on the bench) with Fourie on the bench (along with Kolisi and Wiese). I think first match will be that of tried and tested players still while other players get more familiar with our gameplan/approach and then a bit more of the fresh faces seeping through from the bench in test 2 and 3. I'm not as optimistic as everyone else is. Wales has been a team we haven't smashed in a while and in fact the games have been consistently close. In fact before the World Cup we had a 4 game losing streak against them (although that was Gatland in the helm). It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I also don't want to get too carried away with how weak their URC teams were, because they also have a fair few strong players plying their trade in other markets. I still believe we should get the win, but I don't think its going to be the easy walkover that I'm seeing a lot of on twitter. [/QUOTE]
