Up front, JC van Rensburg returns to lead the side, with Jacobie Adriaanse joining him in the front row. One of CJ van der Linde or Pat Cilliers will be the reserve prop, again depending on the former’s fitness. It speaks volumes for the esteem in which Ackermann holds both van Rensburg and Adriaanse that he’ll pick them ahead of his two Bok props. At lock, Franco van der Merwe returns to join Micheal Rhodes, while Warren Whiteley and Baywatch Grobbelaar start in the back row, ahead of Derick Minnie and Willie Britz. Minnie makes the bench, along with Hendrik Roodt, while the likes of Britz and Paul Willemse are not quite so fortunate.

Yes Moffie I was talking about this year.....the year Kriel made an impression and got selected for the Boks......I am not talking about 2012 when he could not make the Lions starting 15.......get it?
Not to mention the fact that we are talking about your ignorant call that Kriel should play 7 for the Boks now......stupidity of the highest order
CC stop speaking shit, Kriel did not start as a 7
Wrong CC, Minnie played 7 with Kriel at 6
No Vlagshit, I am not talking about Kriel when he was a nobody and not featuring as a starter at the Lions......why would I you dunce?
Now never doesn't mean never....hahahahahaha....defending the indefensible again Vetsak
Yep and I have a feeling it was exactly the same in 2013.......but our resident rugby guru Mofgat wants him at 7 for the Boks.......go figure........can he be more bloody stupid?
Just shows how much this ignorant old fool actually knows about the game
" With zero experience of playing on the blindside . . . not this year anyway."
Wehe....never means not this year.
You ineffably stupid man Carbuncle....you shouted the odds about Kriel being a seven. I simply said two things....firstly his strongest suit is his running game....secondly that if he plays Bok fetcher(code for six) he will need another flanker who is strong on the deck to help.
I did, however, point out he has played seven in the past, which is of course totally accurate. The two inaccurate fools on this thread are Dave who said he never played seven....and you who said he mostly played seven with Minnie at six.
Now that's cleared up, a word of advice. Don't project your poor research on others.
