Steward/JVP/Sleighthome starting is the right call for me.
Centres the wrong way around still and Underhill should be
nowhere near the squad let alone starting. Borthwick’s stubborn
refusal to play Earl at 7 and persist with Slade is baffling

Couldn’t disagree more. Underhill is exactly what we need v SA.
His stopping power in the tackle is world class

South Africa: Fassi; Kolbe, Kriel, De Allende, Arendse; Libbok,
Williams; Nche, Mbonambi, Loux, Etzebeth, Snyman, Kolisi (capt),
Du Toit, Wiese.
To quote MaidstoneQuin, We are going to get battered!
They are going to give the ball to Kolbe, who will trounce
Slade, Lawrence and Steward! Or they will kick and Kolbe will
chase jump and Steward will be red carded for a pathetic attempt
to try and catch the ball.

I'm optimistic, but cautious. sA haven't hit the ground running,
and the changes are playing their first test for a while. Also,
Libbok needs one of his better kicking games. Great to see Wilco
there - makes you wonder how they breed those props! Fassi at
fullback could be an interesting selection as Le Roux played
well on Saturday. But I think they're going to give a few easier
games to hit 100 caps then ease him out.
One thing is for certain - they have ridiculous strength in
depth. The players not selected would give many nations a real
challenge.

2 or 3 years ago we'd be in agreement, but I think he's a bit
off international pace now. Even the Bath fans prefer Hill &
Pepper ahead of Underhill

By all accounts he runs the back line defence... Without him
they would look clueless.
