This is the side I would select for the first AB test, it’s not the one that will be selected
15 Fassi
14 Kolbe
13 Moodie
12 Willemse
11 Arendse
10 Sacha
9 Williams
1 Ox
2 Marx
3 Thomas
4 Eben
5 Lood
6 Kolisi
7 PSDT
8 Wiese
Dave
I agree with Draad about t he nu,mber 12 position/
Moodie has not made any impression for t he Boks at 13, Not sure he is going to be a good enough defender a gainst the AB centers? I think De Allende is a certainty and that Wilems w
Now as to Kolisi - if he does play it will be for no mre than 40 m.inutes and his replacement is going to b epobemativ ith only one loosie replacement, Hanekom is an 8 specialist and has potential at 7 - but not at 6. To solve that [ropblem I guess there will be an 6-2 bnch wth De Villiers be on the bench,. that is the case I think the backline replacement will not be Pollard - it is likely that Wilemse will be the full back anyway and it may be Moosie,
My team will be as follows:-
15 Willemse, 14 Kolbe, 13 Kriel, 12 De Allende, 11 Arendse, 10 Sacha, 9 Williams, 8 Wiese. 7 Du Toit, 6 Kolisie
5 De Jager, 4 Etzebeth, 3 Du Toit, 2 Marx, 1 Ox
16 Wessels, 17 Steenkamp, 18 Porthen, 19 Wiese (Junior), 20 Hanekom , 21 De Villiers, 22 Van den Bergh, 23 Hooker.

Good side, but IMO Fassie is still undercooked... I'll put Willemse at 15 and DDA/AE @12
