Likely Springbok Team for the Match against Ireland

According to the ,media the follwing is the team to be annoubnced tomorrow.

South Africa (probable): 15 Damian Willemse, 14 Cheslin Kolbe, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Kurt-Lee Arendse, 10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 9 Cobus Reinach, 8 Jasper Wiese, 7 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 6 Siya Kolisi (captain), 5 Ruan Nortje, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Thomas du Toit, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Boan Venter.

Replacements: 16 Johan Grobbelaar, 17 Gerhard Steenekamp, 18 Wilco Louw, 19 RG Snyman, 20 Kwagga Smith, 21 Andre Esterhuizen, 22 Grant Williams, 23 Manie Libbok.

Hope the media is wrong about that team - so I am not a vey happy chap.when it comes to Libbok - he eally wa substandard against he French and I would rather have Pollard on the bench,

Deleted - I was wron g on that one

Wrong Mike.

These are the officials...

Referee: Matthew Carley

Assistant Referee 1: Karl Dickson

Assistant Referee 2: Christophe Ridley

TMO: Andrew Jackson

FPRO: Dan Jones

Often wrong never uncertain

So I make a mistake and I deleted ot.

Libok makes mistakes, but he at least gets the backline running. Pollard has become Morne Steyn.

Yeah that will be pretty much the team if Arendse is fit after his head knock

Edwil, Hooker or Moodie could replace him on the wing - take your pick

Hooker

Bugger off Liar in Chief

you are not far of Oom Mike, think Rassie likes to keep his best forwards on the bench. We are a little bit short on Tightwad, young Porthen has done the job, will Rassie roll the dice and back him? Boan Venter has been struggling as a started and Stenekamp and Wilco have put in more minutes than intended. Du Toit have been rested in the last game, so I do expect a big shift from him. I wonder if Rassie will start with him and then move him to Loose head.

I do think Rassie needs to be a little braver, why not Start with AE, that way, if a Forward goes off, we don't need to make so many subs.

Dave wants Willemse to start at 12, but we don't have an out an out 15 but I would almost say Moodie is a really good Candidate at 15. He played there before, probably our best high ball taker. Good switch from 15 to 13 as you normally have to hit the line at pace from the back in both positions.

I would go for

1. Du Toit
2. Marx
3. Porthen
4. Etzebeth
5. Nortje
6. Kwagga (But it will be Kolisi)
7. PTSD
8. Wiese - We missed him in the last game
9. Reinach - Revelation this season
10. SFM
11. Kolbe
12. AE
13. Moodie
14. Hooker
15. Willemse
16. Grobbies
17. Stenekamp
18. Louw
19. RG
20. Mostert
21. Kwagga
22. Williams
23. Pollard

AE is the bench mongrel.
