so, as some of you may have seen me say, or have gathered, i want to be a novelist. i’m finishing up my BA right now and “when i grow up” is not so far away. i’m not sure how familiar you are with the publishing industry, but a significant part of how it works is a lot of self-promotion on the part of the author. one factor agents consider nowadays when signing authors is the size of their platform. obviously, if you have a stunning manuscript and zero internet access in the middle of nowhere, you can still get published, but the industry does favor people who, essentially, come in with promised sales.

there are many ways to build yourself a platform, and i have tried a few of them, but what it boils down to is this: it’s work and i do not have the energy to invest so much time and effort in things that are not writing. i love writing and i hate doing things that are not writing.

the medium through which i have reached the highest number of people is on ao3. i have around 50k hits there, and i am so, so grateful for every one. since i have reached the most people through my writing, i have decided that that’s clearly the way for me to go.

all of this is to say that i’ve started posting an original work on wattpad. it’s different than my style of fic, and different than what i hope to publish, as it, like everything i write, is aimed at fitting its medium. but my hope is that if you enjoy one thing i write, then you will enjoy another, so i ask you to please try this on for size. i love writing fic and being a part of fandom so i’m not going to stop doing that, and not everything i post will be about promoting this, but it is important to me and i see it as a serious step in what i deeply hope will be a life-long career.

thank you for reading my fic here, and i do hope you enjoy my original pieces wherever i can put them in the world.

#lizo talks #this is so long and dramatic lol #but it's really important to me #hope you try it out and enjoy it!

Can we play to guessing who this very special guest would be for Harry's last concert? I just hope not a Stevie Nicks, Elton John or Lizzo. I want something more surprising like Adele, Niall, Taylor someone we haven't seen him interact and that will create a huge impact

We've already seen him with Stevie and Lizo so I'm saying no to those. But it would be so cool if we got a Narry reunion after so many years... even better if we got a haylor one... like screw what people will say let them talking you know you're too iconic to care

Not sure if you already talked about this. (I’m pretty sure you have) but someone seemed to notice that when the trio get into fights, Hermione’s always in the right. Even when she’s supposed to be wrong she always seems to be half right. That kind of bothers me. Especially since it’s evident in the whole Scabbers situation.

I have indeed, on Quora, so let’s move yet another answer of mine to Tumblr!

Hermione is seldom wrong in the Harry Potter books. Sometimes she makes mistakes but those mistakes are either completely swept under the rug or downright ignored.

It’s partly due to lazy writing and partly due to Rowling’s own growing bias in favour of her Author Avatar that was fuelled by Steve Kloves, the primary advocate of the Hermione Granger Is The Perfect Girl Ever line of thinking (an utterly ridiculous line of thinking mind you).

Lizo: Steve, Hermione is a character that you have said is one of your favorites. Has that made her easier to write?

Steve: Yeah, I mean, I like writing all three, but I've always loved writing Hermione. Because, I just, one, she's a tremendous character for a lot of reasons for a writer, which also is she can carry exposition in a wonderful way because you just assume she read it in a book. If I need to tell the audience something...

JKR: Absolutely right, I find that all the time in the book, if you need to tell your readers something just put it in her. There are only two characters that you can put it convincingly into their dialogue. One is Hermione, the other is Dumbledore. In both cases you accept, it's plausible that they have, well Dumbledore knows pretty much everything anyway, but that Hermione has read it somewhere. So, she's handy.

Now this, right here, is the exact core of the problem.

Rowling herself admits it: if she wants the readers to have information, she puts Hermione in the scene. Hermione is our primary means of exposition because, like *grits teeth* Sssssteve puts it, it’s easy to assume that she’s read about it somewhere and it makes sense.

That’s all well and good but at first, if you notice, Ron also gave us exposition about the wizarding world, mostly about its culture. He was able to recall the exact year of the Wizarding Confederation that outlawed dragon breeding in Philosopher’s Stone! He explained what were respectively a “Mudblood”, a “Squib”, and Parseltongue, Hermione doing a little exposition about the history of that last one! He was also able to identify Sirius, after being dragged into the Whomping Willow, as an Animagi!

But then Goblet of Fire happens and you can notice the first change that will exponentially grow through the books: instead of Ron, pureblood Ron, born-before-the-end-of-the-war Ron, lived-through-the-aftermath-of-the-war Ron, identifying the Dark Mark, it’s instead Hermione, muggleborn Hermione, lived-as-a-Muggle-for-most-of-her-life Hermione, has-no-idea-about-the-emotional-impact-of-the-Mark Hermione who looks terrified as the Dark Mark shoots into the sky!

And it only will get worse, by the end of the series, Hermione pretty much knows about everything the plot needs her to know, instead of having to work with things she knows but can’t always apply to the situation:

Suddenly has a deep knowledge of Magical Law (in the will of Dumbledore’s chapter, while we had Rufus Scrimgeour who could have provided it to us, or to a lesser extent, Ron could have explained how a wizarding will basically worked)

Is suddenly an expert at finding edible plants and mushrooms. Apparently books are always the goddamn answer in JKR’s world, you can literally learn anything from them

She can decipher all the Tales of Beedle the Bard (may I remind you that they were written in Runes, okay Hermione may have a few years of Ancient Runes education BUT I once tried to translate a 3k+ story I had written for fun, from French to English, which means I knew what the subtleties and intentions were, I knew which turns of phrase I had to preserve so it would make sense in the end, and it still took me two gruelling weeks to get a satisfying result!)

Has suddenly grown a sense of quick-thinking (escaping Xenophilius’ house, using the jinx to make Harry’s face weird-looking) despite it being the only remaining flaw she had at the time (remember when she turned her back on her enemy while he was still conscious just to compliment Harry, and almost died as a result, even though she had been training in the DA to learn how to fight Death Eaters?) Quick-thinking under pressure can be learned, but it takes time and a lot of work to force your brain to override its instinct - and it’s fine because we’re all human and different. But no suddenly Hermione is the Greatest Strategist Evah™ and those silly boys (who actually were the original quick-thinking ones, and one of them was established as the strategist early on) better be grateful for this literal goddess because she protects them from all harm with her superhuman brain.

Somehow knows about Quidditch stuff - she knows about a Snitch’s “memory-touch”. Why should she give all the answers? Why can’t Ron give us this particular tidbit of information?

And then when we come to something Ron actually knows, the damn narration itself goes “woah a book that Ron has read but Hermione hasn’t??? shocking!! incredible!! Ron is not dumb, somebody call the news channel”. But… is that really so surprising? We’ve never seen Hermione read wizarding fiction or even Muggle fiction. We’ve never seen Hermione with anything other than schoolbooks in her hands. Of course Ron has read books she hasn’t read since she doesn’t seem to read fiction at all!

Sorry, bit of a tangent over here.

There are only two characters that you can put it convincingly into their dialogue.

So, that’s one part of the problem: the fact that Rowling, after making Ron our insight into magical culture and Hermione our provider of knowledge, ended up saying “eh whatever I guess Hermione can tell us everything we gotta know because it’s more convenient for me”. Which is a decision that was not based on Hermione’s character, but simply lazy writing. Long story short, it probably went: “Could Ron explain this bit of trivia? Meh, better make Hermione say it cause she’ll have read it in a book. It’s convenient and I won’t need to bother myself with exploring Ron’s characterisation.”

(And thus completely forgetting that Ron could maybe ask his big brothers via owl and provide us with a good heap of extra advanced knowledge - Bill is supposed to have aced his NEWTs after all.)

The other part of the problem is quite simply that Hermione is more often than not, either painted as a victim by the narrative (which makes more people take her side, classic manipulation tactic), or made to be right anytime it’s about a plot point.

Hermione’s mistakes are never explicitly stated, corrected, or even pointed out as being unethical.

Hermione only gets one mistake expressedly pointed out as being a mistake: her misadventure in Polyjuice Potion. The rest of them? Even her crush on Lockhart can’t be counted as a mistake - people get crushes all the time, based solely on physical appearance, it’s not something awful or terrible (Except when it’s Ron who crushes on someone. Ron crushing on someone is absolutely forbidden, and he must be punished with much ridicule and humiliation if he thinks he can get away with not worshipping Hermione like the goddess she is. The nerve of him, really.).

Throughout the books Hermione eventually morphs into Rowling’s Powerful Angel of Vengeance, that punishes the people who dared to do something she disliked - Rita is silenced but at a very ethically dubious price; Marietta gets scarred for life because she was more loyal to her mother than to a bunch of people her friend insisted she hang out with; Umbridge is led to a very, very alarming fate that is never made clear but some people have ideas and they’re not all very kid-friendly; Ron first is “helped” without knowing it because Hermione can’t be bothered to have faith in his capabilities, then when he fails to dutifully reward her for “helping” him, she causes him bodily harm before actively bullying him for not mind-reading her interest in him; causes even more bodily harm to Ron because that’s how feminism works; etc.

Hermione’s mistakes are always justified through the plot itself (which is lazy writing).

Turning into a cat? Only affects her.

The Firebolt? Scabbers? Well, in the end, it was really sent by Sirius Black and Crookshanks really wasn’t the culprit. Therefore all the feelings that were hurt and all the trust lost are irrelevant because Hermione was right all along.

Trying to free the house-elves? Well, it’s the intent that counts, right? And we’re never told enough about house-elf lore to know whether they’re poor brainwashed victims or powerful Penate-like symbiotes who need to serve a wizard to survive?

Kidnapping Rita Skeeter, trapping her and blackmailing her? Rita may be one foul little beetle, but that’s going a bit far, isn’t it? Harry approves? Oh, well, I guess it’s okay then…? A main character can’t have a dubious morality, right?

Manipulating Harry into forming Dumbledore’s Army and forcing him to relive a traumatic event with the same woman she’s kidnapped and blackmail and that she knows he hates? In the end, it all works out for the best and Harry’s hurt feelings don’t matter since it’s all about the greater good.

Using the centaurs to get rid of Umbridge (which poses the highly distressing question of what did the centaurs do to her?), realizing that the centaurs aren’t nice little horsies that are going to gently obey her every orders like good Disney princess’ companions, my goodness could this be an opportunity for character growth - nevermind, here comes Grawp the Giant Ex Machina, saving her arse and protecting Hermione from all that scary possibility of introspection. Thanks, Grawp Ex Machina.

Trying to dissuade a highly stressed-out and irrational Harry from rescuing Sirius by telling him exactly what he needed not to hear, a.k.a. “you have a saving people-thing” which causes Harry to completely go bonkers and go save his godfather without thinking twice? Well she was right after all, it was a trap! Nevermind how mind-boggingly insenstive and inadept at dealing with someone else’s feelings she was being, she was right! That means it wasn’t Hermione’s mistake!… probably. (Geez, I’m sensing a pattern here…)

Endangering Cormac’s life (Confunding him WHILE HE’S ON HIS BROOM) to promote Ron’s success? Oh but that’s so romantic! (Yeaaaah, how romantic to display exactly how much faith you lack in your crush. Top it off with a broken neck and that’s a picture perfect first date!)

Assaulting Ron with magic and causing him even more scars than he already had? But he was being cold with her first, right? And he totally should have known she was asking him out! It’s not like her invitation was even worse than his attempt to ask her out two years earlier! Plus she’s just a teenage girl expressing her emotions, anyone who tries to find fault in this is a disgusting abusive misogynist pig! Ha!

Getting all jealous that Harry is better than her at Potions, then pretending she’s not jealous by claiming that TEH BOOK IS EVIL, HARRY, and giving him the cold shoulder too? But no, she’s right, look, Harry used Sectumsempra and he almost killed Draco, nevermind that he’s very horrified about it! Hermione was right, like she always is!

Hermione Obliviating her parents, which pulls her from the “ethically dubious” zone into the “wow okay I’m pretty sure that this counts as a violation of basic human rights” zone, makes her one of those quirky wizardfolk who have the privilege to control those simple-minded Muggles because it’s for the greater good? But nooo she’s crying about it so it’s obviously very sad and angsty and it shows her devotion to the cause!

Splinching Ron while fleeing from the Ministry? Eeeh, but he’s fine, they’ve got Dittany, he’s good as new!… blood loss? Anaemia? What’s that?

Hermione was wrong about the Deathly Hallows not existing? Um, um, that doesn’t matter, LOOK DOBBY IS DEAD AND HARRY IS BACK TO LOOKING FOR THE HORCRUXES!! Therefore Hermione was right, the Hallows weren’t important for their quest, therefore the Hallows might as well not exist, HERMIONE WAS RIGHT NO REALLY I’VE GOT RECEIPTS -

The books never forget to remind Harry and Ron of their own shortcomings and moments of weakness.

Harry’s wrath and recklessness cost Sirius his life. This is the lesson he has to learn from his entitled behaviour in OotP: actions have consequences, and the greater your responsibility, the greater the cost will be.

Ron’s envy and insecurity lead him astray; they’re used to humiliate, ridicule and torture him throughout the books. They’re supposed to teach him that he’s worth something - but how is he supposed to believe that, when nobody ever tells him he’s worth anything? When nobody ever apologizes to him? When his feelings are taken for granted over and over? When his two friends seem to discard him whenever he does one thing wrong?

Hermione is never punished. Hermione is never said to be wrong, never shown to be wrong, never called out on her behaviour. From Prisoner of Azkaban to mid-Deathly Hallows, she stays exactly the same character. She doesn’t grow up. She doesn’t learn. She doesn’t change. She has virtually no character arc.

The only time, THE ONLY TIME IN SEVEN BOOKS, the only time we have something remotely resembling a call-out of Hermione’s horrible behaviour is with this sole quote in HBP:

Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.

Note how it’s about “girls” and not Hermione in particular, which implies that any girl would do what Hermione does to Ron. Thanks for the generalization, JKR, but I like to believe I’m actually a decent sort of person that doesn’t resort to petty cruelty and exploits my friends’ insecurities whenever I’m angry with them.

Hermione NEVER has to apologize. Hermione NEVER has to learn from her mistakes because she’s always presented as a victim when she really isn’t. Hermione NEVER develops into something more - she’s emotionally stuck at fourteen years old. Even less than that when you consider that her reaction to Ron’s return in Deathly Hallows is to trash him with her fists - and she was going to get her wand!! The utter psychopathic b- wanted TO THROW BIRDS AT HIM AGAIN!!! - and this reaction is an appropriate one for a four-years old girl, but certainly not for a supposedly “mature” seventeen-years old.

(Yes, because what separates a child from an adult is the ability to reign in your emotions and not succumb to your impulses. Exactly what Ron did when he left the tent (notice that he had drawn his wand, then he left before he could start hexing Harry), he left to calm himself down. Exactly what Hermione fails to do when Ron returns (she has the impulse to strike him and immediately succumbs to it, which proves to us that The Brightest Witch Of Her Age has all the maturity of a very small child).)

All of that, on top of the awful portrayal in the movies which removes all of Ron’s characteristics to stuff them into Hermione and turns her into some impossible epitome of perfection, eventually contributed to the portrayal of Hermione as the one who is always right and knows everything.

Add to it JKR’s own ridiculous bias (“Ron was quite emotionally immature compared to the other two”, yeah right I don’t see him trying to force freedom onto unwilling creatures or making Harry fly into an irrational rage with mere words but you do you, Jo) and the sexist misconception that “girls are innately more mature than boys”, and you get yourself this apparent behemoth of righteousness that was literally the sole reason why those two silly boys survived everything, and don’t you dare criticize this angel of perfection OR ELSE.

So let me get this straight you're canceling my girl lizzo because she's overweight???

Boiii stop, my girl lizzo is here being a black successfull strong independent woman by providing positivity and happiness in her songs, also if you wanna cancel her I guess we need to cancel rappers and any other artist who has sang about drug abuse since is "encouraging" others to do it, honesty God shut the fuck up and let lizzo be she ain't here to serve you looks she's here to leave her best life.

Obesity comes alone with mental illness, the person who suffer this disease finds comfort in food due to the trauma that she and he has leave in their life

So instead of being a fucking dick and talking about how her body image looks, why no talk about lizos talent and unique voice and beauty instead of being a ugly ass bitch.

If you're one them let me tell you her success and happiness is going to bite you in the ass

So in behalf of everyone who loves her for who she's no matter what size she is

GO AND FUCK YOURSELF

#shey talks #Stop making fun of woman and man with obesity #You don't know them and don't know their story #obesity #obesidad #stan lizzo #lizzo #thanks lizzo #lizzo music #mental abuse #mental stability #mental health #mental heath support #positive mental attitude #mental state #high cholesterol #treat others with respect #treat others how you want to be treated #don't be a coward #don't be a dumbass #don't be a dick #fat shaming #like seriously #seriously wtf #Let others be fucking happy

Awesome headcannons this week! Super entertaining and actually (please don’t take this in a patronising way because I really don’t mean it like that) you are getting better and better at writing them! I love that they give us an insight into the other characters minds too! Hope your day was not as stressful as yesterday? Pretty shocked Sparks has agreed to tell her near death story, it’s not something she’s ever talked about before, she’s usually very private. Big up Sparkles, good for you! Lizo

Nope definitely not taking it that way. Thank you! I wasn't sure how headcanons were supposed to be written at first but now I kinda get it. Haha, i really have no idea what I'm doing.

It's been good so far. My trainee is starting to understand a little more each day so that's relieving it means I'm doing something right with training. And I'm starting to learn how she learns things so I can adjust my training for her. Still wiped out but not as bad as yesterday.

I'm interested to hear this story and I appreciate she's willing to share.

internalizing that you can write first drafts poorly is so freeing. i was finishing a chapter and i didn't think that it was a strong enough ending, but then i realized i could just leave it there, continue to the next chapter, and revisit it when i finish and begin edits.

#i'm so pleased with how this draft is looking #i know what parts i'd like to edit when i do #but i have 54k down and my goal is to finish this month #i have eight more chapters to go #and they're fairly well plotted #i'm so excited #and very motivated #also nervous because like...i want this to be my first novel #but you know excited #lizo talks

so we're still in jerusalem, and today my parents and i decided to walk along tower of david, which is the wall that marks the border of the old city.

lizo mzimba who’s the interviewer who did the “bill is gay” interview with bill is a member of gallifrey base and he just posted this: 

To be fair to BBC Drama, I guess it's worth making clear they didn't really 'announce' anything. I wasn't told and didn't know about Bill's sexual orientation before watching The Pilot. And when we did the interview I wasn't asked to talk to her about Bill being gay, nor was I asked not to ask her about it. We were free to speak to her about anything we thought was relevant - which is exactly how interviews should work!

meaning no one is trying to push this as a gimmick - pearl (and lizo) took up the opportunity to talk about bill being gay, and being a poc, because - to quote her in the same interview - “that representation is important”

Rugby Championship 2019: South Africa beat Wallabies after 'catastrophic' moment

Rugby Championship 2019: South Africa beat Wallabies after 'catastrophic' moment

Australia’s road to the World Cup has become slightly bumpier after a 35-17 loss to South Africa in Johannesburg.

Australia have just four more games to show they can be a force during the World Cup but fell short of the Springboks, continuing a disastrous record in South Africa.

The side’s last victory in South Africa was in 2011 while the Ellis Park hoodoo will now stretch on beyond the 56 years with Australia’s last win at the ground coming in 1963 — their only win at the ground.

Worse for Australia, the South African side were largely a second-string side with six of the Springboks line up considered first choice players.

The key moment of the game was the second half yellow card and sin bin for Taniela Tupou with the Springboks punishing Australia with two tries with the man advantage.

Leading 14-10, the referee and video referee saw it as a shoulder charge from the Aussies but the commentators blew up.

The video ref said “That’s clearly a shoulder charge into the chest” but Channel 10 commentator and former Wallaby Matt Burke blew up, exclaiming “no it’s not”.

He then explained it wasn’t a shoulder charge because Tupou used his hands, saying ” You’ve got to use your shoulder when you clean-out”.

Gordon Bray replied: “Somehow Australia has got to survive this catastrophic situation. Naisarani has to go for the arrival of Kepu but Australia looking winded upfront. They will need all their courage and guile to withstand the Springboks scrum.”

Australia couldn’t survive a man down however with the Springboks spreading it wide for S’busiso Nkosi to score in the corner.

South Africa then hit back again with halfback Herschel Jantjies scoring his second on the match, running down the short side to pile on the pain for Australia.

Post match, the sin bin was a big talking point.

“There was clearly an arm there, I think it was a poor decision from Paul Williams, one of a number throughout the course of the night,” Drew Mitchell said on Fox Sports. “That being said, you can’t yourself in a position to let the referee make that decision.”

Phil Kearns went much further, slamming the standard of refereeing in world rugby.

“I think it was a disgraceful decision,” Kearns said. “I think so many times we put referees that are out of their depth into these games. We’ve all talked privately about the World Cup referees and there are a whole bunch of guys that are totally out of their depth. That is a game changing moment and some of these guys are out of their depth.”

South Africa took the game to Australia early and opened up a 14-3 lead before the Wallabies struck back.

The Wallabies couldn’t be denied for long though with winger Dane Haylett-Petty scored in the corner to cut the lead to 14-10 at the break.

But it could have been so much better for Australia with two bombed tries leaving the side ruing its missed opportunities at the break.

After South African halfback Herschel Jantjies scored his first try on international debut, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto looked to have streaked away for Australia’s first try of the night but it was overturned on review, much to the praise of the vocal home crowd.

Samu Kerevi cut through the line and found Salakaia-Loto just late with the pass ruled forward, denying the flanker his first try for the Wallabies.

Following Haylett-Petty’s try, the Aussie winger butchered a certain try, unable to pick the ball up and knocking on with no opposing players within five metres.

“I don’t think he realised he didn’t have too many players around him, sit up, sit up, it would not sit up for Dane Haylett-Petty,” Tim Horan said on Fox Sports commentary. “Try bombed.”

“Oh dear, it’s such a crucial moment in the game, a couple of minutes before halftime,” Rod Kafer agreed.

Burke said it was a “coach killer”.

But despite the loss, it’s not all bad news for Australia with some Wallabies legends praising the performance, particularly in the first half.

At halftime, Fox Sports commentator Phil Kearns said there was a definite shift in style for the side.

“I was impressed by the speed they played at,” Kearns said. “You could see a different style they were trying, it wasn’t as programmed as we’ve seen in the past. It’s clear that some of these guys haven’t played together, the combinations just aren’t there but we’ve bombed two opportunities, absolutely slaughtered them.”

Drew Mitchell said it was an “absolute gimme” admitting “we were fist bumping in the green room”.

With a four point deficit at the break, the hopes were high in the Wallabies camp the side would fight back for their first win in South Africa in eight years.

Wallabies skipper Michael Hooper said South Africa controlled the second half to run away with the game.

“I thought our attack in the first half was real class, we showed a lot of different pictures,” Hooper said. “We’ve ended up being doubled in point. There’s a lot to look at, a lot that we did we but certainly a lot of improvement to be made.”

Kearns said it was a tough loss but there were plenty of positives.

“I’m not disappointed by it,” Kearns said. “I thought there were some disappointing decisions if I could be as diplomatic as I possibly could be, particularly that Taniela Tupou decision from the referee. However, I’m not too disappointed by the Wallaby performance.”

Drew Mitchell agreed there are definite positives from the game.

“There are a lot of things to be frustrated about because there were so many opportunities created by the Wallabies,” Mitchell said. “There is something to hang on to going into next week. They were able to create some opportunities but there were quite a few things to be frustrated about.”

South Africa selected flanker Rynhardt Elstadt and halfback Herschel Jantjies to make their debuts in the Rugby Championship test against Australia on Sunday as a group of first-choice players travelled ahead to prepare for the away game against New Zealand.

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus split his squad into two groups, hoping to prepare better for the world champion All Blacks and manage fatigue ahead of the Rugby World Cup in September.

In the absence of injured captain Siya Kolisi, lock Eben Etzebeth was named to lead South Africa against the Wallabies at Ellis Park.

South Africa’s team has players needing game time after injury and others on the fringes of the World Cup squad. Etzebeth and lock partner Lood de Jager are returning from injuries. Elton Jantjies starts at first-five in place of first choice Handre Pollard.

Ireland-based loose forward Marcel Coetzee is on the bench and in line to play his first test since 2015. Utility back Frans Steyn is also among the reserves, as is uncapped prop Lizo Gqoboka.

South Africa have six players in the 23 for the Australia game who play overseas, indicating Erasmus will cast his net wide in an effort to find the right combinations for the World Cup in Japan. They are Elstadt, No 8 Francois Louw, and reserves Vincent Koch, Cobus Reinach, Coetzee and Steyn.

Australia’s preparations have been upset with three players returning home with injuries and winger Marika Koroibete released for family reasons.

James O’Connor could return to Australia’s test team after a six-year absence. The utility back’s international career was stalled by a series of off-field disciplinary issues but he’s returned to Australia after spells in Britain and France and is with the Wallabies squad in South Africa.
