Good for you - nice-looking team.
I have gone for some other players - not really by choice - but bearing in mind costs and the need to restrict Waratahs players because of the bye next week. Simultaneously I bore in mind the opposition teams faced and their likely impact.
My team selections are -
PR - Kitshoff - Malherbe
HO - Strauss
LO - Van der Merwe - Simmons
LF - Kriel - Labuscagne - Whiteley
SH - De Klerk
FH - Goosen
CE - De Villers - Ellison
OB - Piutau - Alofa - Smith
Would have liked Whitelock ahead of Simmons - - but the budget and transfer restrictions did not allow for that.
I wanted Higginbotham in - but no money to do that and bring in Ellison as well. So had to make a choice and my choice fell on Ellison.
Did not like what I saw of Barrett last week - he was slow and appears to be indecisive - and would have gone for Cruden - but could not - because of the issues mentioned previously.
The Hurricanes tight 5 is weak - hence my prop selections.
