Price is biggest winner of day

Great to see scots not only being selected but having an impact on the tour

Commentator said first time since 89 2 scots scored try in a game

If a Scot had made the mistakes Davies, Murray, Biggar and Daly have made today there would be no coming back.

Endless debate from tv about 10

Surely its Russell 

He's a class apart 

And injured ive just seen

Yup.  His tour’s almost certainly over, going by what Gatland said today.  He’d have been excellent as a game changer off the bench.  As it is,  Owen Farrell will jumping from 12 to 10 like last time with no particular efficiency.

The way things are going it's not really going to matter who gets picked because SA are going into this having barely played and probably under strength considering how Covid is ripping through the squad. Whatever happens now, there will be a big asterisk against this one.

Harris the only Scot starting against South Africa A on Wednesday, with Fagerson on the bench. Unlike previous tours, this is the last midweek game, there aren't any in the week before the first test or between the first and second as has been the case on some previous tours.

Based on this team its looking very likely that Hogg, H Watson, Sutherland and VDM will start first test with price on bench.

Ian McGeechan, writing in the Telegraph sees Harris, Sutherland and Watson as the likely Scots in the first test, with Russell and VDM possibles. Thinks Williams is nailed on for full back.

A strong looking A team from the Boks.20210712_154236.jpg

That’s not far off their strongest side given the players they’ve got isolating. Real opportunity for Harris to show his quality and stake a claim for a test jersey.

Yep, you can see plenty of this team playing in the tests, think it shows that they want to get these guys some game time with their preparations so far being so badly disrupted.

I'd say Watson and Sutherland are all but guaranteed a start.  I'd be extremely disappointed, but not remotely surprised, if that's it.  Harris absolutely could play himself in here, though, to the bench at any rate.
