So I'm down to 2 trades... I'm not completely happy with my team, but I don't feel like risking it. I took a risk on Habana already - I'm sure Hynes will score five times what he does, but if SA can cut loose and really take it to the Aussies, and with Pienaar at fullback (he may actually pass the ball, unlike Steyn) I think Habana just might get in a run or two, and hopefully a try.

I'm looking for an improved showing from O'Connor too - he was dire last week. But his elusive running has been a thorn in the Springboks flesh thus far. Also gambling on a big showing from Jacque Fourie. Again, I believe Pienaar will slot into flyhalf during phase play to try get the backline moving, and Fourie may actually get one pass this game.
