ABs are a much more settled team.  What about the Boks, are we still building, halfway, still building nicely too, or finished building?  Does anyone think the Boks Team is settled already, or as someone mentioned on another thread, 'just making sure there's enough depth in the squad come WC2015'?  


Issues with our center combo, fly-half, Habana's successor (I'm saying Habana's back-up cause last year he got injured against the Abs and we lost one of our attacking options leaving Willie as the sole threat).  Does anyone recall the incident?

 Ntanga there has to be some concern going into the RC re some players who have been out with long term injuries:
Lambie, Etzebeth, Du Toit and Malherbe come to mind. Can these guys be played in the RC with virtually no game time. Jean has been out for a while but he should be okay and a rest will have done him good. Beast will be fit and raring to go.
A very strong Bok squad can be assembled if all are game fit. 
My other big concern is picking pap victor again. That is a nightmare
wee abs are indeed a settled team but on the way down as their RAWs against the poms showed again. Oz are definitely getting better and are ones to watch out for.

 I'm with you on Victor boet, I really have no idea what Meyer sees in him; PSDT should make number 5 jersey once he recovers.  I do think that most players with injuries at the moment would have recovered and probably had some game time before the WC, in order to assess their progress.

 I think our locks are Etzebeth and Loodt. Du Toit at 7 could be an option. Add in willemse and we have 4 great young locks and Flip for experience.
The abs are in for a shock this RC. They have talked themselves into thinking they are untouchable. A more smug bunch is hard to find
BUT we shall see what happens.
