[HenryChinaski]

Just wow.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Irish homies can join me in supporting SA

 

[will311293]

Porter over Sinckler, Aki over Jonathan Davies, Conan over Navidi/Stander, Hill/Lawes over Ryan/Gray big choices

 

[ncurd]

So no Sexton or Binny.

**** he's Simmons and not Binny......fuuuuuuu

 

[HenryChinaski]

I think you could definitely make a case for 11 English players but not those ones

Forwards: Tadhg Beirne, Jack Conan, Luke Cowan Dickie, Tom Curry, Zander Fagerson, Taulupe Faletau, Tadhg Furlong, Jamie George, Iain Henderson, Jonny Hill, Maro Itoje, Alun Wyn Jones, Wyn Jones, Courtney Lawes, Ken Owens, Andrew Porter, Sam Simmonds, Rory Sutherland, Justin Tipuric, Mako Vunipola, Hamish Watson.

Backs: Josh Adams, Bundee Aki, Dan Biggar, Elliot Daly, Gareth Davies, Owen Farrell, Chris Harris, Robbie Henshaw, Stuart Hogg, Conor Murray, Ali Price, Louis Rees-Zammit, Finn Russell, Duhan van der Merwe, Anthony Watson, Liam Williams.

 

[BPM]

Just clocked no Sinckler ... very strange

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Hold on is Jonathan Davies not injured?? He was free for selection?

Gonna be more Sale players in the Boks than the Lions, so I'm in

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

No Sinckler WTF

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This selection is more surprising to me than the 2009 selection, and that was mad

 

[ncurd]

No Sinckler WTF

Took Mako though!

I can't even, like why is Daly there!

 

[Groundhog]

I fully intend to overact to this. Boks til I die

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

I really wanted to see Sexton and Farrell again together. Imagine them with Ringrose outside. Too lightweight I imagine but would have been fascinating.

 

[Groundhog]

Transouth Africans RISE UP!!!!

 

[ncurd]

Gatland

"I watched Mako get utterly destroyed scrumtime in the RWC final and thought, now that's more of what I'd like to see but at least he didn't go off scared after 2 mins like that pussy Sinckler"

 

[McTallshort]

Cannot wait to see Mako do his normal demolition job on the SA front row.... Said nobody ever

 

[HenryChinaski]

Ryan, Ringrose, sex, sinckler, Slade, Stander...

Did they just forget about a part of the alphabet??

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So
Loosehead: Jones, Sutherland, Vunipola
Hooker: Cowan-Dickie, George, Owens
Tighthead: Furlong, Porter, Fagerson
Locks: Henderson, Hill, Itoje, Wyn Jones, Lawes
Flanks: Bernie, Conan, Curry, Tipuric, Watson
Number 8: Faletau

6 locks

 

[Jakedood]

I could understand the Ted Hill one if he'd looked good internationally as Ryan and Gray weren't on top form. But he looked like a bit of a dumbass out there, and didn't really have a sizeable impact. Very strange

Never mind how Bundee Aki somehow got into that squad

Jamie Ritchie and Josh Navidi could be gutted seeing that as well. 3 number 8's, 3 open sides. Maybe a plan of second row at 6 then
