And that's probably more the measure for me.
Look, I mean, I think when you look at that all-black team, and I've said this in the past, I think that even guys like Billy Proctor, who maybe haven't necessarily stood up when being given the opportunity, but how will they go in a different coaching environment?
And I think that's where this core group of players need to be given an opportunity in under a new coaching environment.
If they still end up coming slightly short, then maybe their level is super rugby.
We'll find out that real quick.
Yeah, look, and I think if we're to beat South Africa, we need to go on with a bit of niggle.
I think we need to go on with a little bit of mongrel.
I think we need to, you know, we can't take a step backwards.
Look, I think if you go through your back line, and I sort of sense with Dave Weaney that you're probably going to have Roy Gard at halfback.
I think you're going to have McKenzie at first five.
And I don't necessarily agree with this.
I think Geordie is his second five.
I think Quintu Pai is his centre now.
I do, even though I still think I'd rather have him at second five and not for a pure centre.
I think there's one wing position still up for grabs.
I think Caleb Clarke's on one wing.
I think Will Jordan's at fullback.
I think that other wing spot's open for discussion and how he wants to set the bench up and where Lester Fanganuki sits in there.
Because clearly I don't think they're going to play him at centre from what I've heard.
And then really, you can look at your locks.
