Told ya.... Jordan Hendrikse at 10!

Proud moment for the family.

SSDD still to many oldies starting….Steenekamp should be starting, Hanekom should be starting….Wilco should be on the bench instead of Vincent.

Well there is to little young guns in the squad, so more oldies in the team…. Grandpa team going to WC 27

Wish we could adopt more of the AB teams younger approach….Eben, Marx, Pollard,Pieter, Cheslin is enough of the older Core to guide the Young guns…

Rotate Frans and Vincent in between to add more guidance…

Designed to morph into our experienced team if there’s trouble. No excitement there.

Opportunity to blood young players missed here - not enough youngsters included in the squad

Why include Koch, Mostert and Reinach in a test against a weak Welsh side

Makes no sense

There is no progress in having Kleyn and Mostert at lock

Why DA and Kriel at centre - why not Esterhuizen and Am or even better, Moodie at 13

Cameron Hanekom doesn't even get a start.

If this guy turns into a Springbok legend, let's not give the credit to Rassie who didn't even pick him in the initial sqaud and couldn't  start him against hopeless Wales.

I see that the we know better than Rassie brigade are peeping through the mountains of egg and moaning and babling away as per usual.

Great tigbt five sitting on the bench with Pollard and Reinach as insurance. 

Mostert and Klein could be playing their last match for the Boks unless they really pull finger. 

At a guess Kolisi will be the lossie taken off and Hanekom  will slot in at 6.  I hope that happens and early. Want to see what this guy can produce. He looks to have the goods. 

I must have misjudged how smart ou mampara power is. He evidently thinks he knows what the Bok squad will look like in 2017.  Hahahahahaha.

Meanwhile ou Rooitwit has his we worn Welsh rugby jersey all ready for the match. His well worn long over due wee ab jersey is in the wash. 

Amazing...complaining met die wit brood onder die arm...waar was die dae van 57-0 verloor teen NZ ...of die 49- zip vs Aus? SIES!!!

Gaan kyk interskole as julle laaities wil sien speel...net manne speel virrie Bokke.

This Welsh game is a nothing test.

Is there a single Bok fan that doesn't wanna see Hannekom start?

Sucks

Draad would you not agree this will be the perfect opportunity to start Hanekom?

Or is Erasmus so scared of Wales that it justifies his selections?

In comparison look at the OZ team taking names with a team of nobodies…..now Joe Schmidt can be proud of that shit and the OZ players are making a real name for themselves….

Rassie is to conservative with his selections ….

What's the reason for Willie's EOYT selection?

Why is Reinach on the bench? Why? He is a third choice at best, and will not make the next world cup anyway.  Grant Williams was great last week

I'm also disappointed that Hanekom isn't starting...but breaking into the starting lineup of the best team on the planet shouldn't be easy...I trust the coaching and management team that got us there...they've earned the trust I put in them to decide what is best for the Bokke...Willie deserves to get to a 100 tests...and he's more than still good enough...we don't know the ins and outs of why these decisions are made.

..

" but breaking into the starting lineup of the best team on the planet shouldn't be easy " -

Does this statement justify the very very slow import of the inform players ready and raring to go??

This sounds like a Cult and not a Rugby Team. The over emphasis laid upon the " Bok System " is a fine line towards negativity.

Then obviously the fans also buys into it, him still using predominantly the same core as HM…

Yes some of that core : Eben, Pieter, Marx, Cheslin, Pollard, RG, Ox, Kollisi, Frans, Jessica Willie are still playing well enough to justify there inclusion .

But for how long still?? Geez man all I am saying is more of the inform players of all positions should be intregated more already….Fact.

Just go have a look at Dave,s list of players….and then tell me you still believe a Trevor or a Reinach etc.. must still be in the team ??

What is obvious right now is that Rassie should be moving on from Willie, Mapimpi, Reinach, Koch and Mostert as we have better younger players that now need full time investment in their places

For Willie it’s Fassi / Willemse and Jordan Hendrikse

For Mapimpi it’s Moodie and Green

For Reinach it’s Papier, Nohamba and vd Bergh

For Koch it’s Wilco, Thomas, Sadie and Jacobs

For Mostert it’s RG, Ruben v Heerden, Ruan Vermaak, Cobus Wiese, Rahl and JF v Heerden

The Bok 23 will look far better with one of these younger better players replacing the old boys who’s time is up

The next wave will include the likes of Kitshoff, Malherbe, Bongi, Lood, Kolisi, Faf and de Allende

I can’t agree more… and I really think it’s not to much to ask.

Can't believe Moodie's been left out. What on earth is Erasmuss thinking!??

Yeah Moodie should have started at 13 against Wales the fact that he is not even on the bench is madness
