Why is this a surprise? Their is a serious disconnect between Super Rugby, Currie Cup, and the National side. Coetzee is an average Super Rugby Coach at best. Had to be a political decision. His selections are horrendous. Let's look at the lineup and see who should of been their.
1. The Beast (Fine) 2. Strauss (Fine) 3. Koch (Fine) 4. Du Toit (Fine) 5. De Jager (Fine) 6. Carr (Err he is a good player, but surley their are better open sides?) 7. Willem Alberts (LOL, he is not even a natural 7) 8. Whitely (Fine) 9. Rudy Paige (De Klerk is clearly better) 10. Lambie (He is not an international ten, why was Goosen on the bench? Or even Janties, who lead the Lions to a super rugby final?) 11. Habana (Well obvious) 12. De Allende (One of the very few standouts) 13. Venter (Fine, the boks had two flyhalf replacements on the bench) 14. Combrinick (Who else is their?) 15. Le Roux (Never got in the game)
Bench is uninspired. Overall Boks offer no creativity on attack or defense.

"Fine" isn't good enough.
Another word for "fine" is "ok" ... or "average" ... or "mediocre" ... or "will have to do" ... or "I guess so" ... or "what do we have to lose" ... etc ... etc ...
We have the "wows" and the "incredibles" and the "amazings" and the "brilliants" all sitting at home.
We are where we are because of all the "fines".
I'm sick of the " fines". When are we going to select the "wows"? ... starting with the coach. He's not even a "fine" ... he's more like a "oh sh!t"
Honestly, there's nothing "fine" about our side at all.
Thanks for the encouragement anyway.

Fine was my way of encouraging . I meant fine in terms of well they are in the right position. I mean you got to look at the positives, if their are any. I guess your missing Vermulean.
