Agree bar two players.
Koch is not on top of his game - seems like he is playing at 89% - Kitshoff is a very underrated prop!
I would prefer Uzair Cassiem to Carr. I know he's not there but Charles Marais of the Cheetahs would be a big improvement - I'd then leave Koch there and look at switching (he has been switched before) Trevor or mayby Jacobie
Is it not a bit early for du Preez ?

I like the side.
I'd swap the 2 centers around and give Goosen a shot at 10.
Charles Marais is a class act and should have been in the mix to begin with.
I think bringing Du Preez in against Italy would be the right timing for his entry into test match rugby. Just keep the "egg laying" expert away from the Boks.

Saffex
No real problem with that side - but for two positions. Jantjies seems to lack big match temperament and I would use Goosen at flyhalf. Carr was very good in 2014 and since then average and at times even poor - I would prefer Smit at 6.
I think that useless Alberts will be in at 7 but the rotten egg layer should not be near any Springbok side.

Goosen may be the answer at 10 - I leave Jantjies there simply because of the understanding between him and Faff - somehow they "lift" each other.

Alberts our highest ranked player last week and statistically best forward is an obvious choice.
As for having 3 flyhalves, we have none. Lambie is a fullback, Goosen is a sevens player and Jantjies is an exposed nerve end.

An yet the egg laying Alberts has been dropped from the match 23.
Puzzling ... being our "best" forward and all.
He was selected on the openside and just never got around to doing any of the required functions expected of a 6. I wonder if that played a role in his axing?
If only he knew how to "counter ruck" properly.
Oh well ... guess you can always phone him up and advise him on the techniques needed to be successful there , huh?

More evidence that cc doesn't know his @rse from his elbow .

Oh my goodness. So true, Monster!!
Sincere apologies.
Just when I thought a little sanity had come, Coetzee goes and persists with the spent force of Alberts.
Italy are probably delighted at his selection. It's like playing against 14 men now.

CC, No need to apologize, a simple observation.

Thanks, Monster.
I mixed Saffex's side up with Coetzee's.
No matter ... it's given the three stooges a little bit to crow over.
They feel better now and my good deed for the day has been done.

That's a little harsh ... but ... ok ... seeing as it's Friday and all.
