Speaking to the official Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-final match day programme Potter says that it’s no shock that the Coach standing between St. Helens and a fourth consecutive trip to the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final has revitalised the Giants this season.
The Giants 19 man squad is:
1) Brett Hodgson3) Kevin Brown4) Paul Whatuira5) David Hodgson6) Liam Fulton7) Luke Robinson8) Eorl Crabtree9) David Faiumu10 Darrell Griffin11) Jamahl Lolesi13) Stephen Wild14) Simon Finnigan15) Paul Jackson16) Keith Mason18) Danny Kirmond19) Michael Lawrence20) Scott Moore21) Leroy Cudjoe24) Shaun Lunt
The Wallabies have named an unchanged starting team to face the Springboks in Cape Town on Saturday.
The only change is that Phil Waugh is dropped for Peter Hynes who comes on to the bench.
Hynes replaces New South Wales flanker Phil Waugh in a straight swap on the bench in order to make a more conventional split among the run on reserves.
The team is otherwise unchanged to the team that lost 16-22 to the All Blacks in Australia’s opening match of the TriNations.
While the Wallabies have not won at Cape Town since 1992, the squad does feature 13 of the players who participated in last year’s 27-15 win over South Africa at Durban.
That success was Australia’s first on South African soil for eight years, and just the second win achieved by the Wallabies in the Republic from 14 attempts since the TriNations kicked off in 1996.
South Africa aim for a home clean-sweep when they tackle Australia in the TriNations on Saturday having comfortably disposed of the All Blacks with back-to-back wins.
