I saw a video with Jeff Wilson where he said that World Cup squads are not official until formally submitted a few days before the tournament actually starts.

Wilson says that he is certain Pollard and AM will be ready for the world cup, and will be included in the official squad. They are not on standby, but instead are already with the squad.
Not sure about Lomp

That would solve the Jessica Kriel problem. 
I am not sure about Pollard, given how often he has been out of the game.

But he has been doing a lot of singing, those in the know say he is in great voice.

Yep Pollard, Am, Thomas du Toit, JL du Preez and Dweba are in the UK with the squad The squad has to be finalised a week before the Boks first game against Scotland on 10 September Lood has a heart condition caused by exercising when ill. He has to rest for a month

Interesting, wonder which scrummy is going to get the boot and which winger will get the boot if both Am and Pollard somehow make it through.

But neither players had game time or when they did, looked completely average. 

So will they drop Esterhuizen and Williams. Can't see then dropping mpimpi

Well there are four 9’s and four 6’s so one of each should go. I’d drop Reinach and Fourie And hopefully Lood makes a comeback to replace the utterly useless Orie

Orie actually plays better than Limp. 

I'll spare you the obligatory "YAWN".

Limp is the least skilled lock in tier one nations. He is very unathletic, he is very underpowered, he can't tackle, has very limited range, he is very slow reacting to what's around him, when things go wrong, he is commonly one of the names who is at the scene of the crime time and time again. He isn't even a flat track bully, as he is bullied by the supposed minnows. He is routinely stopped in his tracks or driven sideways. At the breakdown he is ponderous and over powered. Again, things that have been well documented for quite some time. Orie is far more dynamic, and has more positive contributions than Limp. This isn't opinion, this is simple and plain truth.

Well are the red faced oaks who were complaining bitterly that Rassie selecting 4 wings, scrummies etc was a complete idiot going to just admit Rassie knew what he was doing and they didn't.

Hahahahahahaha. Now they move on with no apology or mention of the fact we had to endure their wails and nashing of teeth for days on end. But it turns out they were all completely wrong.

How did Beeno not make the same mistake. Because I know Rassie is an extremely astute guy and had some plan - as I stated.

As for Orie being better than Lood. The guy goes from one blunder to another. He clearly does not know lock play.
