Yep he won’t fucking let go of the washed up hasbeens like Willie, Mapimpi, Reinach, Koch, Bongi and Mostert. Not to mention the retention of the stupidest player on the planet in v Staaden


Move on for fuck sake - poor Cobus Wiese is the only player dropped with Edwil and Arendse the only injured players left out


Still no specialist 8 in the squad

Thre are too man seless passengers in that squad.


1 Wille le Roux - way beyond retirement age

2 Andre Easterhuizen - a flop at center and used as a loosie where he is even worse

3 Manie Libbok - serial flop as flyhalf and even worse on franchise level

4 Cobus Reinach - way beynd retirement age.

5 Franco Mostert - way past retirement age and a powder-puff as well.

6 Vincent Koch - why he is in the squad after repeat failures only Erasmus will know,

7 Aphelele Fassi - poor performer on both URC and test levels after his return from injury,

Johan Grobbelaar or AH Venter for Bongo Drums, Carlu Sadie or Hanro Jacobs for over the Hill Vincent, Faf D Klerk for Reinach, Kade Wolhuter or Jurie Mathee for Jan Pierewiet.


Ruben v Heerden or Reinhardt Ludwig for Lomp. Marcelle Theunissen or Thsituka for Eskom Dumb muscle. Cobus Wiese for Jean Luc De preez.


Rickus pretorius for John Deere Allendig the Dud. Ivan Roos for Siya Kollisi. ( Make Eben Etzebeth captain! He Leads by example, not like the pretend 40 minutes Mandela) Tyrone Green for not so Fassi.


Dr. Lucky is not a genius. His head is so far up the ANC,s hind quarters, the brown rings are showing.

Ag nee Kade and Mathee are not close to test standard - bog ordinary


No ways Rickus before David Kriel


Lood is 100 times better than useless Mostert - he needs to be the first to go on the list


Faf is a poor call - too old - Papier deserves a recall


Jordan Hendrikse for Willie


Jurenzo Julius for Mapimpi


Papier for Reinach


Hanro Jacobs for Koch


AH Venter for Bongi


Ruben v Heerden for Mostert


Cobus Wiese for Nortje


Roos for v Staaden


Dweba for Marnus vd Merwe

Yes David kriel i forgot about him, he is very good. In my opinion Kade and Jurie are above average. Also more stable in defence and kicking for poles, then Libbok.


I think Marnus and Dweba are pretty even-Steven. Then rather Johan Grobbelaar instead of Dweba.


I really like Mostert he’s a warrior, but for the sake of progress ok, Ruben for him. Then definitely Reinhardt Ludwig for Lomp.

Funny enough I started comments on the NZ squad and most of what I said must not be in he squad found support. But then we ahcve some problems becuase for instance on Ludwig - who was not a regular for the Bulls - so I differ from him as to lock selection. Like the guy as a potential replacement of Du Toit thou gh - in othe words a loosie and Lock alternative.


I like both Hooker and De Klerk as future inside centers - delighted that Hooker is aalready in the mix though - rankly I prefer him to replace De Allende.


I would also for alternatives in the backline from the Under 20's by next year. The Under 20 flyhalf was way better than Libbok was and is, I also think that Pratt will be a must by 2027 and frankly I would prefer to see Muller in the WC squad too. And then there are also Pead as a scrummie, Tose are key players for the fture of SA Rugby - but the ANC wil have other ideas sending rugby down the drain like they do wih everything else.

The backline for both games will be Williams, Pollard, Kolbe, DDA, Kriel, Arendse, Willie.


Sacha looked so snappy when he came on this past weekend.


The kid has a quick mind but a cool head. He literally has the best of both worlds. Why would any coach resist just giving him as much ball as possible? After how Sacha played in the URC this year, and how friggin horrendous Manie is...why would anybody not put their faith in Sacha!? No other SA ten comes close in terms of being to take the game away from the opposition. And he does it without being reckless.


Were it up to me, I'd already have started him in six of the four gams this year. Barbies, ITA 1, Georgia and Oz 1.


I'm just saying, if Manie is still the second choice 10 at this point, and Sacha has been relegated to winger, or worse...sharing the 23 jersey with Willemse, I'm gonna be really really really pissed!

Just enough black brothers in the team. Bongo is done for, Mpimpi is done and was never really a test winger.


Am had gone MIA and should be at his peak.


Kwotalisi is one hip replacement away from retirement.


Fassi looked promising but he made so many mistakes on Saturday and doesn't tackle at all.


Only Ox is the best loose head in the world right now, not just scrumming but also his contribution across the park.


So Rassie has not black brothers to hold the ANC line and politics.

Sacha is next level but he definitely took a big wack when he came on and could see he was fighting the team doctor to stay on


I was surprised to see him included in the squad to NZ as I fully expected to hear he was out injured


Must have just been a stinger to the shoulder


The side against NZ will be:


15 Fassi 14 Kolbe 13 Kriel 12 DA 11 Mapimpi 10 Pollard 9 Williams 1 Ox 2 Marx 3 Wilco 4 Eben 5 Lood 6 Kolisi 7 PSDT 8 JL du Preez


16 Wessels 17 Thomas 18 Koch 19 RG 20 Nortje 21 Kwagga 22 Reinach 23 Sacha


Id go with that side except I’d retain Moodie on the wing ahead of Mapimpi and I’d have RG at 5 with Lood on the bench. vd Bergh ahead of Reinach and I’d have Boan Venter on the bench ahead of Koch with Thomas covering tighthead


Also tempted to start Sacha at 10 to create the spark with Pollard as security off the bench

Unbelievable that Erasmus continues to select so many players that are way pass their best.

I have doubts about the Springboks even winning one game in NZ.


Shocking at best.
