Willie le Roux centurion, JOC returns, last chance for the British and Irish Lions
from RugbyBits · host RugbyBits
Shaun and Thala preview the second weekend of the July test window. We first start with the much-changed Springboks facing Italy. We look back at Willie le Roux's career as he gets his 100th test cap, we discuss which Springboks we looking forward to seeing and how much of a chance does Italy have.We catch up with the British and Irish Lions and the addition of Jamie Osborne into the squad. We discuss who still has a chance to break into the test team with a great performance on Saturday against the AUNZ invitational team. We debate which loose forward will be on the bench, the role Tadhg Beirne may have and what role Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell could have. We then look at the Wallabies squad for the series, which includes James O'Connor and if the Noah Lolesio injury might mean Nic White starts at 9.We discuss how the All Blacks can manage without Scott Barrett and the addition of Emoni Narawa, whereas the French make many changes to their team but still include Leo Barre, Nicolas Depoortere and Pierre-Louis Barassi. We then discuss the titanic clash between Josua Tuisova and Tom Jordan for Fiji v Scotland, if Argentina can come back after their loss to England, the return of Sophie de Goede for Canada against the Women Boks and surely, surely Wales will win against Japan this weekend?
