A reasonably fair effort - normally I would have DuPreez easily ahead of Strauss but Strauss played really well last match out and my gut says Watson ahead of Favaro although they offer something different at 7 so even maybe if I am being generous.
Dell ahead of Grant for me.
Hoping for a really good match.
I'd probably agree over the last 12 months CDP over Strauss but big Josh is just coming onto a wee run of form whereas CDP has struggled for game time recently so that was my thinking there.
Watson and Favaro I found tough to call because they bring very different things to their teams. Watson has more of a jackalling presence and definitely contributes more with ball in hand. But then Favaro's line speed and energy he brings to the defensive effort can be hugely influential in games. Calling it even was maybe a bit of a cop out but I'm sticking with it!
