LCD much more suited as an impact player though so can see the reasoning there.
Russell and Simmonds inclusions are long overdue, as I've always maintained they're the kind of players SA don't like to play.
From the SA perspective the bench feels a little light, there's an awful lot of faith in Mostert's ability to cover flank and then shift to second row when Loed tires. There's no second row or lineout options on the bench so much like last week when PSDT got injured it could leave the Boks short on options if they get an early injury.
The inclusion of Morne on the bench also hints they feel they'll be leading and needing to close a game out rather than having to chase a game.

Sinckler free to play
Definitely. He was also one of few carriers to make a yard or two.
I agree and contrary to popular opinion (and my own not-entirely serious moaning about it) - I think this was always in the locker, if they felt they needed it. But after plan A scraped home in the first Test, I think they must have thought it would do for the second.
