“They’re definitely all in contention for Ellis Park,” Schmidt said. “Obviously, Will played 60 minutes [in the third Test against the Lions], Nela [Tupou] played 60-odd [minutes] in Sydney. It feels like a long time ago; it wasn’t even a week ago. “So they’re fine and Bobby [Valetini] did a really good run yesterday, so our ambition is that he’ll train fully with us this week.” Skelton is likely to play his first game in The Rugby Championship in a non-World Cup year since 2016 after an outstanding Lions series. Schmidt was unable to confirm whether Skelton will be able to stay with his Wallabies teammates beyond the South Africa tour, but credited the second-rower’s Irish coaches Ronan O’Gara and Donnacha Ryan for their support in facilitating his time in The Rugby Championship.
