Who will the Wallabies and Boks Pick For their June Series?

Amidst the speculation surrounding the naming of the first All Blacks squad since that triumphant Rugby World Cup winning squad in September/October, it's easy to forget that our biggest rivals, the Wallabies and Springboks are also involved in the June tests and have plenty of dilemmas to deal with.

Here's my tip on the Wallabies and Springboks 30-man squads for the June tests -

Wallabies
Coach: Robbie Deans

Dingo Deans clearly has some big issues to solve going into the June tests. With injuries to key players like James O'Connor and Quade Cooper ruling them out for this month, it will be a huge ask of Australian rugby's limited depth.

Props - Pek Cowan, Salesi Ma'afu, James Slipper, Ben Alexander
Hookers - Stephen Moore, Tatafu Polata-Nau, Saia Fainga'a
Locks - James Horwill, Rob Simmons, Hugh Pyle
Loose forwards - Rocky Elsom, David Pocock, Wycliff Palu, Scott Higginbotham, Michael Hooper, Radike Samo

Shipperley has been consistent for Reds

Halfbacks - Will Genia, Ben Lucas, Nic White
First fives - Kurtley Beale, Berrick Barnes
Centres - Pat McCabe, Rob Horne, Ben Tapuai, Anthony Fainga'a
Wings - Digby Ioane, Dom Shipperley, Rod Davies
Fullbacks - Adam Ashley-Cooper, Jesse Mogg

Going for 3 halfbacks and hookers and a few utility players like Samo, Lucas, Barnes & Ashley-Cooper.

Springboks

Coach: Heyneke Meyer

One word: rebuilding. The Boks were exposed as an aging squad at last year's Rugby World Cup and with talent to burn coming through the ranks and a new coach, expect plenty of new names in the squad. There are also injuries to key players like Andries Bekker, Schalk Burger, Juan Smith and Duane Vermuelen, as well as the retirements of Victor Matfield, John Smit

Props - Tendai Mtawarira, Jannie du Plessis, Werne Kruger, Brok Harris
Hookers - Chiliboy Rallepelle, Bismarck du Plessis, Craig Burden
Locks - Eben Etzebeth, Alistair Hargreaves, Rynhardt Elstadt, Flip van der Merwe
Loose forwards - Jean Deysel, Siya Kolisi, Francois Louw, Heinrich Brussow, Pierre Spies, Willem Alberts

Young Etzebeth has been highly impressive this season

Halfbacks - Dewaldt Duvenage, Francois Hougaard, Charl McLeod
First fives - Peter Grant, Morne Steyn
Centres - Jean de Villiers, Juan de Jongh, Wynand Olivier
Wings - Bryan Habana, Gio Aplon, JP Pietersen
Fullbacks - Pat Lambie, Joe Pietersen

Pat Lambie can cover centre, first five and fullback and really needs to be there, and Hougaard can also play on the wing with devastating effect. Habana could also play centre too.

Beale bracketed with Ashley-Cooper. Quade Cooper still at first-five.

Australia: Kurtley Beale/Adam Ashley-Cooper, James O'Connor, Ashley-Cooper/Anthony Faingaa, Pat McCabe, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia, Radike Samo, David Pocock, Rocky Elsom, James Horwill (capt), Dan Vickerman, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Sekope Kepu. Reserves: Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Slipper, Rob Simmons, Ben McCalman, Luke Burgess, Berrick Barnes, Faingaa/Rob Horne.
