Doos no one asked you

You are too fucking dumb to come up with a credible WC squad

It’s beyond your ignorance

It’s an impossible task

Jan 03, 2023, 01:24

Not important enough to have an actual coach do it apparently.

You don’t have the rugby brain to select a respectable WC squad

Too stupid

Jan 03, 2023, 01:48

If you had more than one brain cell you could rub them together to start a fire to illuminate your cretaceous period hollow, maybe then these exchanges would be more fruitful for you! :P

As I was saying no brain to come up with a WC squad

Clueless

You can only have 5 loose forwards because teams normally have 3 hookers and 3 scrummies. 

It would have been great if we had a more versatile hookers and scrum halves that could cover more than one position. However, standby players can be added relatively easy if a player gets a serious injury. 

Gelant has now been demoted. If he was in SA I would select him but I would make Willemse my backup 15. We also have Arendse and Moody that can cover those positions as well as Kolbe. Although, both Kolbe and Arendse is a bit too small for me to have both in the back 3. 

I would start with who would be my starting 15. 

  1. Kitshoff - Du Toit
  2. Marx - Bongi - Grobbler
  3. Malherbe - Louw
  4. Etzebeth - Jenkins
  5. Lood - PSDT - Mostert
  6. Kolisi - Kwagga
  7. Kwagga
  8. Wiese  - Roos
  9. Faf - Hendriksen - Zak Burger
  10. Pollard - Libbok 
  11. Moody 
  12. Esterhuizen - Dud
  13. Am - JVS
  14. Kolbe - Arendse
  15. Willie - Willemse

I like the idea of moving Dud back to lock. He could function there, but can he take his lineout ball? I’d love to have seen Etzebeth at 5. I think he is athletic enough to pull it off and that would open the door for another monster at 4. Still it’s a brave man who would switch positions for the world’s best number 4.

You have Kwagga twice and there is no rule on how many 9’s or hookers you need.

If a player gets injured he just gets replaced so the make up of your 33 is your own choice

Dweba has far outplayed Grobelaar this season

You can’t leave the impressive Ox out
