10 Frans Steyn

12. Esterhuizen

13. Delande


I would rather field that combination than Jessica Kriel.

Klop ........ imagine that trio smashing their way voorwaarts on a mini rolling maul. Catastrophic. Kan 'n man dan nie?

Other than De Allende - the other two are slow and poor players at flyhalf and inside center.   Both have3 serious defense problems - both are slow thinkers and both are equally useless in execution and that results in ball losses and penalties against the Springboks.  Why don't you think before writing BS on site?   

I stay with my prediction - if Steyn is flyhalf and Esterhuizen at 12 the Springboks will lose the test because of the two players you mentioned.

My only concern is distribution and don’t think our outside backs would get much of a chance. That said, kurtley and Nkosi are back. Gelant has been dropped out of the Squad, but De Allende has been covering 13 in a few test now. 

You don’t have to be the quickest at 10 as long as you can manage the game. Two massive centres can create a lot of problems, Especially someone like Arendse to exploit the spaces 

Not a bad Idea to think of it. 

But with the current backs in the Squad who should we pick. 

This is probably the only time when the boks have to go flat out on Attack if the All Blacks win with a bonus point. 

9 Hendrikse 

10 Steyn (no one else) 

11 Arendse 

12 Esterhuizen

13 De Allende / Moodie

14 Nkosi

15 Le Roux

De Klerk, Kriel, De Allende / Moodie

At least we'll know what's required ............. the ABs might blitzkrieg the Worribees & we're already behind on the points diff. C'mon Oz.
