Mentioned in this video
Shaun and Thala react to the South Africa and Italy squads selected for the test in Turin. The Springbok Hooker/hookers are the main story - with Johan Grobbelaar getting a rare chance to impress, Marco van Staden as the back up hooker and Ethan Hooker getting a chance to start at 12.
On the Italian side, after a massive win against Australia, they will be feeling confident playing against a second string Springbok side with many of their key players that did not make the July tour to South Africa returning.
Find out why Shaun has worries about the Springbok halfbacks, why this is a free hit for Boan Venter and Zachary Porthen, why a fast start is important for Italy and why David Odiase should be a name that Springbok fans should remember.
