That's a bit more like it though the 2 best 8s in the
Premiership are both still on the bench. I'd have:
4. Maro Itoje (Saracens, 50 caps)
5. Courtney Lawes (C) (Northampton Saints, 89 caps)
6. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks, 35 caps)
7. Sam Underhill (Bath Rugby, 26 caps)
8. Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins, 3 caps)
With Underhill off the bench after 60 minutes to run tired Bok
legs into the ground

Yes, definitely. Quick ball will be a huge asset against SA

Got a feeling we are going to be outmuscled and schooled in the
pack. Without a powerful ball carrier in Dombrandt or Simmonds I
think Curry will be made to look average.
Backs not too bad but would of preferred Quirke and Radwan if
fit to start, as i would rather have quick elusive runners than
trying to out armwrestle them

Still also think that Lawes and Maro are both 4s. Need a 5 in
there to give bulk both sides of the ball

Honestly I'm beginning to see Lawes as a real 6. Underhill's not
in good form and missed hatfuls of tackles against the Aussies.
Lawes/Curry/Dombrandt gives you a great mix and a plethora of
lineout options to boot, plus it allows us to pick the
neanderthal power of Hill in the second row.
Joe's going to have a tough time against Mapimpi, but he's an
excellent defender so fingers crossed - and I really hope we get
to see what he can do with ball in hand.

I agree with you Jammy - I think that is a well balanced back
row. Power, line-out options, jackling and ball-handling all
covered off.

You’ll get no arguments from me on that. Still not sure how he’s
a Lion.
Likewise, I don’t feel Ewels has done enough to justify 23
😳 caps. However, I’m also not sure what other English 5s
there are. Said before that we need Launchbury and Kruis back
asap.
