Why on earth does he persist with Werner Kruger and Dean Greyling ahead of Frik Kirsten and Marcel v/d Merwe at prop.........both proved far better in the CC, with Kirsten being rewarded with a Bok call-up on the EOYT.
Why is Jacques du Plessis still being wasted at 7 when he is clearly a lock?
How on earth can you play lightweight Hattingh at 5 ahead of Willmese in the A side? Surely Willemse at 4, with Flip at 5 would make better sense?
Disappointing to see Dries Swanepoel not making the B side at 13 ahead of Small-Smith or young centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg not getting a look in on the bench
Beyers at 12 is a quality player, but mostly plays 15 and 13. Jessie Kriel on the wing is a star in the making, he is usually at 15.
Ludeke fails to impress
