Bok Backline for the World Cup

For a Rugby World Cup squad, teams are allowed to select 33 players in total.

Out of these: Typically 14 players are backs (backline players)

Based on current form this could be the backs for the next world cup. It is 15 players, so Delande would probably have to be dropped.

Pead could be the bolter who squeezes into the squad. Might be enough time to find another outside centre to replace Kriel.

9. Williams / Faff / Haashim Pead (bolter)

10. Sasha / Libbok / Pollard

12. Willemse / Esterhuizen / (Delande)

13. Moodie / Kriel /

14. Kolbe / Edwill van der Merwe

15. Aphelele Fassi

11. Ardense / Hooker

Usually, squads will include about six half-backs (3 scrum-halves and 3 fly-halves) and the remaining backs cover centres, wings, and fullbacks. Versatility is often considered, with some backs capable of playing multiple positions to maximize squad coverage.

Nope here goes

9 Williams / vd Bergh / Pead / Papier

10 Sacha / Pollard / Libbok

12 Willemse / Hooker / David Kriel

13 Moodie / Jurenzo Julius / Henco v Wyk

14/11 Kolbe / Arendse / Edwill / Green / Jooste

15 Fassi / Jordan Hendrikse

It has to be a maximum of 14 players. Some must be chosen for utility value to avoid injury call ups where possible.

Mine was a list of candidates not the final 14

There is plenty of utility there in Willemse, Sacha, Moodie, David Kriel, Hooker and Jordan Hendrikse

That is not the rules of this thread. It must be 14 players.

Ok here goes

9 Williams / vd Bergh / Pead

10 Sacha / Libbok

12 Willemse / Hooker

13 Moodie / Julius

14/11 Kolbe / Arendse / Edwil

15 Fassi / Jordan Hendrikse
