JJ to miss the RC finale??

I read a report that JJ Engelbrecht is battling a leg injury and in doubt for this weekend?

Not great reading. If he can not train by today, they should make the call to cut him. We need the best preparation we can get this week. No disruptions. We need to play a completely different game plan and we have 1 week to work on that so we cant afford guys sitting out of training runs.

Franco VD Merwe been called in for Flip. You dont reckon he will feature though? The same report reckons Juandre is the likely starter but I wonder if they will include Steph-Du Toit on the bench of the experience of Franco?? I really hope its Steph-Du Toit. Infact, I hope SDT is starting!

If JJ can't play - it worries me very much - because De Jongh will come into the picture. He is way below par and not international material at all,  How Meyer picked him for the squad is at best amazing.  He will go AWOL like he did in the Twickenham test.  

I would rather have seen De Allende called up as a back -up and put him on the bench ahead of De Jongh.

As to Franco van der Merwe - he has no grunt at all - less than Kruger.  My initial reaction is that they should start with Du Toit and put Kruger on the bench.   Bad news that one - worse news Franco.
