[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1060891, member: 39190"] To a small extent SA 'A' vs SA? Spicy. Scotland will be up for it though everything considered- beating Aus whereas Aus beat us twice just last month it feels like. For SA I suppose we just want to go through this tour unbeaten to get back on the horse. I did pick up though that if in the likely event of NZ beating Ireland by less than 15 points if we beat Scotland by 15 or more (though Ireland more likely to beat NZ than us beating Scotland by 15+ ?) we go top of the world rankings again since the margin between us are so close even though Ireland is a juicier plum than Scotland WR-wise. For SA Nkosi will be available on the wing. Not that I think that'll influence other positions. Possibly Frans Steyn to start at 15 with Kriel to move to the bench? Who knows- I certainly don't. For me it is still a no-brainer to have started Gelant at 15 with Fassi at 14 while Kolbe is out. I also have Marx starting as I think he is more impactful in the tight with the more mobile Mbonambi off the bench last 30. I suppose I should just shut up and be happy we actually have had a lock replacement on the bench the last two games out. [/QUOTE]
