Good to see them starting after bench appearance last week

 Why are they persisting with Danillier at 15 he is average at best. Move Leroux to 15, and then play Hendriks and Rhule on the wings
Goosen never takes on the line these days, he is a bit like a scrummie playing at 10. Hope to see him back into top form soon. He is not playing the way he did in 2012

Hopefully he can also tackle better than that pathetic effort he made on Stepfontein

Also, persisting with Coenie at tighthead is foolishness.

He's as much a tighthead as Os was.

Much prefer Watts to Goosen, even though he's so painfully slow. He reads the game better and is a far better 10 than Goosen will ever be.

Why Mnisi has never been given a decent run is also beyond me.

connie is needed at tighthead, not so much for the cheetahs but for the Boks.
if ur malherebe fan then u will disagree, but if ur not a fan then loosehead would be his best position by a country mile.

there was also an article back when he was having all his neck issues which stated that tighthead might actually be better for him inn the long run injury wise, something to do with the pressure during scrumtime being evenly distributed to a tighthead compared to that of a loosehead.

IMO beast and connie are SA best props at the moment, and that would mean connie having to go to tighthead.

good news for both these boys, but elgar watts has been doing a top shelf job at 10 for the cheetahs, they are lucky to have him.
