Balls…the game was won by Marx, Frans and Vermeulen. Let’s just play some real rugby like we did today.

Some player rotation would be good, but the Boks also need to win games. 
It would be good to test some different positions and combinations to build depth with some first-choice players on the bench - like Willie Leroux.

Frans Steyn proved he is still an option at fullback with his monster boot ensuring the game is played in the opposition half. It works for South African style of rugby, even if he is past his prime. 

Kolbe could also be tested at fullback. Nkosi could be tested at outside centre, and AM at inside center.

Yes Vermeulen literally did with his last steal…..and Frans provided some stability  we needed. Get over yourself.

Your idea of using the YE tour to blood a bunch of youngsters and leave the likes of Etzebeth and Vermeulen at home is pretty dumb.
