Tongue firmly in cheek. But this is a massive test for Razor.

I'm ready for the call Razor, I've been preparing for this moment for years by listening intently to audio recordings of TJ Perenara and Nic White in my sleep and channel other ABs halfbacks by going down to the beach three times a week to practice waving my arms like a seagull while forgetting to protect my towel from the incoming tide. I can kick just as well off my left as my right, same with passing. The Boks will certainly be confused by the unpredictability and Fern contributors will love the fact very few passes from set piece will make it to Beaudie, in fact muscle up forwards we'll be keeping things close...

Joking aside, this is becoming a real test of depth in a key position.

Yeah and he also said that Preston isn't injured.

I have only just read Chris B.’s post of three days ago, in the context of some posts about the Grizz Wylie era. The number 7 through that Shield era, and against the 1971 Lions, was Alex Matheson.
Alex unfortunately passed two weeks ago.
He used to say that the violent legend of that game was exaggerated and mostly created by the northern media.
Fergie had a certain changing room reputation which you may have heard, Chris?
