In Bath the general view was omitting their wing Semesa Rokoduguni was even crazier than the US election result. Recent form in the Premiership has rarely seemed more irrelevant to back-three selection than it has this week for Saturday’s Test against South Africa. But with his regular wings Anthony Watson and Jack Nowell out injured these are defining weeks for players such as Rokoduguni. Neither Rokoduguni nor Goode is a natural on-field ranter but, underneath, they are as quietly competitive as anyone. Rokoduguni, in fairness, can misjudge the odd high ball, not necessarily ideal against this Springbok side.
