We did try and get someone from the team on, but they need their sleep, we are told, and fair enough too, ahead of their historic test in South Africa.

So we're hoping to get someone on to chat about them in the build-up to five o'clock.

John R4's fellow front rower, Xavier Numia, how are you, mate? Yeah, good, thanks, good, thanks.

How are you guys? Mate, we're great, thank you.

What has stood out from this tour? Let's not talk footy, just to start at least.

Anton Leonard-Brown, Fabian Hollard with some good solid carries.

Geordie Barrett, little short ball to Xavier Numia.

Then it's Love and Adi Sarvir on a nice angle.

Good smart play as well and noted in both commentaries, because I saw a little bit of this as well on some of the South African highlights.
