I would be surprised if Libbok is overlooked plus the two Stormers locks are a shoe in with Rassie.

Yesterday I put a few bucks on Fransie making the squad as well.

Dave I also think that the du Preez boys will be in the squad.

Also don't forget Morne Steyn as another surprise.

Goosen and Elton I think are done.

I very much doubt Morné, who retired from international rugby. The du Preez boys will never get a look in, I'm afraid. Libbok has question marks. He really hasn't shown anything substantial at all at test level, and too much of how we play will have to change to accommodate him; that seldom works out for us.

AJH no way will the du Preez twins make the squad and obviously Morne won’t given he has retired from test rugby

Beats being as rugby ignorant as you are and I mean that sincerely You have to be blind or profoundly stupid to conclude the likes of Arendse, de Allende, Willemse, Faf, Malherbe, Lood, Kolisi and PSDT are not test standard They are not only test standard, they are test greats - all being either the best or close to the best in their respective positions in the game

None of them are anywhere near the best in any position. Malherbe was good in 2018 and for a couple of games in 2019, since then he is back to belly flopping since last year. Quite lucky those anti-Bok refs let this one go, or that alone would have been the entire Lions series.

Nice to see the bash Willie movement in hibernation. I think Mapimpi may not make it. Dud Toit and Dud Allende had pretty awful years, they shouldn’t make it….but alas, we will see more toothless ball carrying from Dud Major and dead end tractoring from Dud Minor.

I’m not at all persuaded by Hendricks. Chances are Lomp won’t be there because of an injury…no loss really. Kolisi will of course be there, but most of the time his mind will be elsewhere.

That team was a joke, no Savea and no Etzebeth and Genge is the loosehead. Another political team.

It was a pathetically selected side Mozart. Our top three performers for the season, Kwagga, Eben, Wiese (in that order) weren't selected. We live in a time where people feel no shame for their idiocy, and have no interest in learning. But even by usual standards, that was a horribly chosen side.

Genge is not often touted as the best loosehead in the game - I don’t necessarily agree but he is certainly up there Etzebeth should definitely have made it ahead of Beirne But more to the point - de Allende made the side and there is no way a shit player or not test standard, as the pathetically ignorant Doos will have us believe, would be selected for a world side of the year Simply impossible. There will always be some close calls but all those calls will be between quality and worthy players which is exactly what de Allende is

Poor carries, poor defence, exceedingly poor decision making, wonky strange kicks, horrible passing. There's a reason why Erasmus wanted to look at other options and even you admitted Willemse was better.

Stop lying you fucking habitual liar - where did I say Willemse was better? Absolute bullshit that Rassie is looking elsewhere, that’s another lie Just as poor carries etc is a blatant lie You are rugby ignorant I’ll say this one more time you fucking idiot - no world side of the year would EVER be made up of poor players FACT

It is so credible, but it is omitting Eben and no Kwagga (What's the deal with Kolisi ahead of him?)! You are making this too easy Saffex. I suggest you calm down, have some herbal tea and think this through before you make an even bigger fool of yourself. It's only Monday and you are already at the point of a breakdown!

Dave 

I have had my amusement increased to unlimited levels today - based entirely on the comments made by Mozart and l'Grande Merde on site - the silliness was unlimited in their cases.
