I hope we are going to go full bore at this with all the internationals back. The team is to be announced in an hour.

He widnae move on Shiel, but he gave me Blair at least.

Very very interesting selection at 10.

I always thought Cockers was the one who had the 10 sitting deep and VdW couldn't play flat anyway. I'm starting to change my mind on it being all Cockers.

Strong team but strong enough? Worrying about Sutherland injury and his Lion hopes. Thought somebody had said no lasting injuries from last Friday in Paris

I'd be happy for you to be in charge of team selection Tighthead.

Should be fun-Racing are fully loaded except for Russell.
Bonus with Schoemann back.Wondered if Macrae's suggestion of no injuries from last week was really correct.Got to hope Sutherland not out for too long but a pity as a good performance in Europe would help his Lions chances.

Excited to see Kinghorn go at 10 , especially with a dry ball . Pity Dean is injured as I thought his reading and lines off Kinghorn were superb. Puzzled by Bennet but perhaps JJ in dry, indoor conditions will play well to his quick feet and 7s skill set. Jaco won’t be happy but maybe a wake up call on “ work ons”. Pyrgos has to drive quick ball to get most from BK threat.

Intrigued to see how this goes - a new era of running rugby under Cockers ? Or will Kinghorn have to wait till Shiel comes on to get a pass ? :o Let's hope the ball gets as far as the wingers.
