This is what I hate about squad limits for the RWC .Why cant we be greedy and have both ? .Having said that I reckon Nonu is better at breaking the line while SBW seems to draw an inordinate amount of defense upon himself plus that deadly offload .

I think we will have both in the squad but the question is more who will be the main man?
IMO Nonu will play in the big games unless injured & SBW will play in the other games. Nonu has really shown his stuff this season. SBW has been injured so he has missed a lot of games, plus as said above he has developed his skill set. Nonu/Smith combination is hard to pass up for the RWC.

Hi Wardad: I miss ol' High Tackle as he was not shy about giving his opinion Fekitoa is in the 41 selected but he will be in the second string ABs IMO. Smith is too experiences to be ignored. SBW & Fekitoa will get a run but only in the minor RWC games or if the first string is injured. Amazing that we can have such talent as backup. SBW won't be too happy but I hope he get's over it. Anyway injuries can change everything.

Bluebok I reckonn a Saffa front row and goal kicker, combined with the rest of the ABS would be absolutely unstoppable.Be 60+ scores every game over the moth eaten British Lions !

Things are the way they are, even if I don't like them. At this point NZ are spoiled for choice, especially in the centres, but with backs in general. We have a glaring hole at both 13 and 14!

Boks will have to resort to the old game plan of controlling possession through the forwards, kicking for points and field position & beating the cr*ap out of everyone physically. Will we see the return of M. Steyn? I would say yes but Pollard will get his fair share of game time & may start most games.
Wee Matfield will have to earn his keep by winning line-outs & posing as a back.
