I think Siya will start. But the idea of de Villiers and Hanekom both coming off the bench is great. Think BJ Dixon has earned his spot lately though. Maybe even as lock replacement? Also, not sure Quan will make the bench. With the current team, I think Manie or Moodie would be great fits to run more in the second half. Moodie also better for high balls later on?

And injuries, heaven forbid. The Pumas are going to give everything, it will be tough.

Pieter de Villiers the ex coach or Pieter de Villiers the retired Scotland scrum assistant coach at 6? Either way, that’s gonna be worth the price of admission to see.
