Let’s ditch the old farts and build for the future

Select an EOYT squad of the future from the following:)

15. Fassi / Jordan Hendrikse

14/11. Arendse / Kolbe/ Green / Tambwe / Edwil vd Merwe / Davids

13. Moodie / Jurenzo Julius / Henco v Wyk

12. Willemse / Ethan Hooker / David Kriel

10. Sacha / Libbok / Masuku

9. Williams / Hendrikse / Nohamba / Papier / vd Bergh

1. Ox / Steenkamp / Wessels / Mchunu

2. Marx / AH Venter / Dweba / Grobelaar

3. Wilco / Thomas / Hanro Jacobs / Sadie

4/5. Jenkins / RG / Ruan Vermaak / Ruben v Heerden / Moerat / Nortje / Cobus Wiese

6/7/8. Kwagga / Buthelezi / BJ Dixon / Vincent Tsituka / JL du Preez / Ruan Venter / Wiese / Roos / Hanekom / Dan du Preez / Emmanuel Tsituka / Elrigh Louw / Gumede

Who the fuck needs Eben, PSDT and co

Dan du Preez….hahaha…..the 29 year old Deysel twin has a future?

Well we could get a good 4 years out of the twins if we wanted to

Rassie’s biggest failing is selecting powder puff Mostert, his second biggest is not investing in the twins

If Rassie doesn't flood the the Boks with new younger players he gets criticized. If this team with lots of changes loses by a point the oaks get hysterical

If he picks a new player who doesn't shape he gets critized by the armchair pundits. Wise heads know it can take a while for a player to really find his feet at test level. Others who look like they could make it dont. 

If he sticks with older players he get criticized. 

They only way to shut some of these halfwits up is to have a good win ratio. Sane people know losses are inevitable. 

While rebuilding it's an achievement to stay in the top 3.

The whole problem is some oaks lack rugby acumen and are emotionally immature. Hence we can expect more hysterics and high levels of drama in the future. Hilarious stuff from the oaks! :D

Pick your best players and ensure you are bringing the younger ones through. Incremental change.

Dave fhe dea o just leave in form players in the eam to provdeleadesip to the team as a whole is wrong.  

TYou build teams by keeping fighers like Marx, Etzebeth, Du Toit and De Allende in the team.   The other is that Erasmus wants  Wilie to get to a hundred caps as a SpringbokThere are othe players that should be i he team in a tembuildig process and tha means the new cpain is likely o eb Shaca - but I do think that most of the elderly will be out of the eam in anoher 18 months,  

In the emantime I really laugh about Mozart comments to promote Mostrt - at 33 not a key performer anyway and deitnitely not a laye that is perorming on international level anyway.   We ave a hst of much younge rlocks than Mostert.

For the rest I think that we must look at a better outside center combination ad gt Arendse and Kolbe to perorm or move on.

Well Mike 18 new players in half a season post the WC is pretty impressive in my books

If that’s not building depth then I don’t know what is. Rassie is pushing the building so much so that he is willing to risk losing games - like the 2nd Oz test and the 1st Argie one
