Can we we pick a bok under 23 team?

Came across this article https://rugby365.com/opinion/second-phase/why-this-bok-made-the-u23-world-xv/

Shocking to think that Willemse is on there at 15, but also that we don't have any decent young talent being used or brought into the bok setup. 

Instead we have Grant Williams that is the sharks 4th scrumhalf. 

What is Rassie doing,  No Evan Roos, No Jan Herik Wessels, Tyrone Green to name a few. 

If we continue with our  current squad we will be back where De Villiers and Meyer left us. To be fair to Meyer, he had no young players to pick because of the insistence of picking the WC 2007 team and not blooding proper talent. 

Rassie need to catch a wake up, we might be okay in the next world cup but it will go down really fast if we don't bring our young stars through

Rickus !!!

2 new players a year will give 8 players over 4 years and 16 over 8 years...and it won't be only 2 evey year...we don't need to replace the whole team at once, but we do need to build depth in a few crucial positions. 

ja, these are all good players but you would think that we have had at least 4 player under 23 with 10 caps. 

Fassi and Willemse are both competing for the 15 jersey. Willemse had a  blinder in his first professional season for the stormers but he is a selfish player when it come to attack. 

So I would have tried other like Green and given Fassi more game time. 

But after the implosion of the championship, the coaching team have become ultra conservative. 

Then, we also have to realise that the boks tries to attack like a sevens team, living off turn over ball. 

The players above are all talented but a few test matches would have give them extra confidence and help them become better players. 

Look at the players England used during the autumn international, and they won all of their games

• 15 Freddie Steward 21
• 10 Marcus Smith 22
• 8 Tom Curry 23
• 2 Jamie Blamire 23
• 1 Bevan Rodd 23

‘Dominated England’….in your dreams. The stats were almost 50/50. The only thing we dominated was the penalty count and the scrums which gave us the penalty count. If the Poms find a tighthead it’s  going to be an uphill battle.

For the Boks to have one player in the World U 23 selection and only  one player in the alternatives tells you what a disastrous job Harrassmiss has done with succession planning.
