Esterhuizen and Williams

These are good picks. I'm always worried that Kolbe and Arendse might be a little bit too small having both in the back 3. Moodie did okay on Saturday, but he dropped a few catches which should have been regulation for him. So that rules him out. Arendse did tackle that much, only had two tackle attempts and missed one of those. 

I would drop De Allende Completely and get Grant and Am as my starting centre combo. 

Dud and Kriel are not the best. Both are very good at defence and strong runner but don't have the hands or ability to kick smart. 

Williams have definitely impressed me and have probably knocked Jantjies out of the squad all together. Especially that he can cover wing as well. 

Agree on Wiese over Roos. Roos haven't been able to break the line like he did last season and make those big runs. Wiese is not as quick but can definitely bash over the line. 

I had another look at Duane play on Saturday and he definitely still got it. He seems stronger in contact than Roos but lacks Roos Pace. 

Right now Roos is closer to Pierre Spies. Got speed by not the physicality you want from your 8. 

Trouble with those picks is a combination of Faf , Pollard and Dud Allende  will put us right back to the bankrupt rugby we played for the last 3 years. That combination needs to be changed. The best candidate is Esterhozen, distribution vs contract. If we are going to play Arendse and Kolbe there is zero point to having Dud Allende crashing into brick walls, 

So it’s Faf, Pollard and Esterhozen to start with Williams coming on as the moment dictates.

By the way, anything Dud Allende can do, Esterhozen can do better.

Few question marks for a side to play wee abs. 

Van Stadem could be given a chance.

Is R G Snyman ready

Is Am ready.

Does Vermuelen deserve to be dropped. 

Libok of course at fly half. 

Apparently Willemse is going to play at 10 which will be a big mistake 

Faf, Pollard and Dud Allende as individuals are one thing….as a combination they destroy our creativity.

This is a stale combination [Faf, Pollard and Dud Allende]

If Faf is kicking too much, then I want Williams starting. However, the ideal scenario would be a Faff in top form, with Williams an impact player. 

After being impressed with Hendrikse, but he has been more of a linking scrumhalf than one that also attacks around the fringes to keep the defence guessing. 

Esterhuizen is finally delivering to his full potential at international level. He is a big unit, but he can also pass off both sides. 
Delande is very good on his day, but Esterhuizen seems to be naturally more of a playmaker .

"To me, one of Libbok's biggest assets is his hand speed and how fast his passes travel though the air. A short windup and probably the fastest ball I've seen in recent memory. It buy's valuable milliseconds. The precision of his passing is also some of the best I've seen."

I haven't seen much Super Rugby this year, but I've seen similar passes from DMac in the few Chiefs games I watched .
