Louw is unavailable as he is at Bath.

Kolisi is pretty good in the attacking “7” role, and Marx is superb over the ball.

Surprised that they would play Whiteley and Vermeulen that way around.

Louw should be here, with Vermeulen @ 8. Maybe the latter & Whitley could have swapped positions, but it is what it is. They’ll also miss their regulars @ 1/2 & full back. That stated though, it’ll be a leviathan contest up front & whomever comes out on top here should carry the day. Interesting, to see how the England back row performs, as they’ll have a vital role in getting or spoiling possession on the floor. They’re up against a couple of heavy hitters, also Marx & they can’t afford to come 2nd. I expect a fairly tight one which will go either way, but which way? England could edge it @ home with OF kicking them there, or will the Saffa pack steam roll England & stretch away near the end? I dunno, but SA by 5…ish!?

Vermuelen and Whiteley is interesting
