Incumbents and door knockers

So what does Rassie have in terms of resources - bloody plenty in fact. Talk is of the need to bring in younger players given the age of our incumbents and Rassie has been pretty vocal about this. So what do we have: Fullback: Incumbents - Willemse and Willie (he is old but in good form) Knockers - Fassi , Gelant, Green, Horn, David Kriel, Moodie and Hendrikse Wings: Incumbents - Kolbe, Arendse, Moodie and Mapimpi (like Willie he old but in good form) Knockers - Nkosi, Tambwe, Green, Zas and Edwill vd Merwe Outside centre: Incumbents - Am and Jessie Kriel Knockers - Moodie, David Kriel and Henco v Wyk Inside centre: Incumbents - de Allende, Esterhuizen and Willemse Knockers - David Kriel, Dan du Plessis and Hooker Flyhalves: Incumbents - Pollard and Libbok Knockers - Sacha, Masuku, Hendrikse and Nohamba. I’d add Goosen Scrumhalves: Incumbents - Faf, Reinach and Hendrikse Knockers - Jantjies, Williams, Papier and Nohamba Loosehead: Incumbents - Kitshoff and Ox Knockers - Gerhard Steenkamp, Thomas du Toit and Mchunu Hooker: Incumbents - Marx and Bongi Knockers - Dweba, Grobelaar, Wessels, Aker and Andre Hugo Venter Tighthead: Incumbents - Malherbe, Koch and Nyakane Knockers - Wilco Louw, Thomas du Toit, Sadie, Fouche and Hanro Jacobs Locks: Incumbents - Etzebeth, Lood, RG Snyman, Kleyn and Mostert Knockers - Jason Jenkins, Moerat, Ruben v Heerden, Andre Smith and Ruan Vermaak Openside: Incumbents - Kolisi, Kwagga and v Staaden Knockers - Theunissen , JC Pretorious and Buthelezi Blindside: Incumbents - PSDT Knockers - JL du Preez, Ben Jason-Dixon, Vincent Tsituka, Reinhardt Ludwig, Elrigh Louw, Gumede and Ruan Venter No8: Incumbent - Wiese Knockers - Roos, Elrigh Louw, Dan du Preez, Hanekom, Emmanuel Tsituka, Horn and Augustus There are a handful of others who are out of sight out of mind - Rohan Janse v Rensburg, Rickus Pretorious, Ivan v Zyl, Boan Venter, JD Schickerling, Cobus Wiese, Liebenberg, Ackerman and Jaco Coetzee

The Door knockers alone, are more than Capable to be our Bok Starter team. …yeah sure we will loose some games in the beginning until this new generation find each other and gel, but come 27 we will have a young dominant Bok team. Important now is to focus on our weak points in coaching….like our structured Backline attack where Rassie should give Brown free reign. Our Forward play is really good, so bring the rest up to the same standard.

Damn you are right Rooi I forgot about him. Added

There is absolutely nothing wrong with our backline play - we score as many backline tries as any other test side Arendse would not have the test try strike rate that he does if our backs were not being creative enough It’s an ignorant fallacy that we don’t use our backs to attack

Of counter attack yes, but structured Backline plays, not so much to zero percent.

Rubbish
