The injuries and poor form of players in Super 15 - as well as departure of players like Bekker - is making inroads into the training camp squad. Bekker was not in the squad anyway. Of the players who were there the following should be eliminated from selection:-
Sharks - Unfitness and Under-performance - Steyn, Kankowski, Franco, Jannie, Coetzee
Injuries - Mvovo (?), Alberts (?), Beast
Bulls - Under-performance - Mapoe, Kirchner, Basson
Injuries - Hougaard (?)
Stormers - Under-performance - Jantjies, De Jongh (especially on defence)
There were only two Cheetahs and no Kings players at the training camp. I think replacements for the above should mainly come from the Cheetahs team and would replace Jantjies with Catrakillis. For the rest I would bring in players like Nyakane, Oosthuizen, Labuschagne and Le Roux into the mix. I would also bring in Engelbrecht - mainly becaue his defence is slightly better than that of De Jong - De Allende and Kitshoff.
Meyer has a real opportunity in June to gt a really good squad together for the Championship and he should not waste the opportunity and get rid of the under-performers that has shown their deficiencies already.
