Tight Five: Dave Rennie has some tough selection calls to make ahead of a clash with South Africa in Adelaide and he’ll need to start with changes in the back three | paulcullystuff SMHSport
Dave Rennie has some hard calls to make against South Africa in Adelaide, but he will surely put a premium on experience and nous in the two back three positions up for grabs .
He has rarely failed to answer the call and his bravery, size, big boot and ability to play as first receiver are enormously attractive qualities against the South Africans. However, there is a caveat here. For much of that Test, Springboks No.13 Lukhanyo Am was playing on the right wing after Jesse Kriel was concussed in the opening minutes. Am’s decision-making in the midfield was clearly missed.
It is probably an issue that has slipped underneath the radar due to the issues at No.10. Fisher should be able to hit the ground running because even the better teams in Super Rugby Pacific found it hard to break down the Brumbies.Ireland have gone to a new level since Schmidt departed in 2019, with players praising coach Andy Farrell for improving the mood of the camp. But that should not take away from the extraordinary impact Schmidt had on Irish rugby.
