Some of my choices are by no stretch the worst in their respective positions they just irritated me being selected ahead of far more worthy players - some of them being old players who were great in their prime but were liabilities on their return. 15. Percy Montgomery bubbling under Loubscher 14. Cornal Hendricks bubbling under Kayser 13. Juan de Jongh bubbling under Adi Jacobs 12. de Wet Barry bubbling under Brendan Venter 11. Aplon bubbling under Bijorn Basson 10. Morne Steyn bubbling under Braam v Straaten 9. Ross Cronje bubbling under Rudi Paige 1. Rob Kempson bubbling under Pat Cilliers 2. Chiliboy bubbling under Shimange 3. BJ Botha bubbling under Lourens Adriaanse 4. Albert vd Bergh bubbling under Johan Muller 5. Mostert bubbling under Matfield 6. Francois Louw bubbling under Stegmann 7. Cassiem bubbling under Jacques Potgieter 8. Whiteley bubbling Adriaan Richter

I think you left out Mohoje by accident,   For the rest I am 100% with you.  One should always base the issue on actual performances and  there is not much missing i n the above iro actual substandard performances.   

Wait for pollution by Mozart and AO to follow.

I don’t mind Oupa at all he is not big enough for a test blindside but he is a good provincial standard player

To be fair, Greyling had one test. He didn't give himself much of a chance. Went onto the field to lamp out every A ll Black he could find and that's the last we ever saw of him!

Watson should never have ben anywhere near the Springbok squad - neither should Werner Kruger,   Both were there because they happened to play for the Bulls and ckueles Meyer claimed he was familiar with them as the reason for selection.   I would eprhapos have Werner Kruger ahead of  Marcel van der Merwe if I was Mozart.

Meyer never selected Watson, who played the last of his 10 caps in 2008 . Werner toured with the Boks in 2010. Had nothing to do with Meyer's Boks. Another fail by Liar Mike.

Safesex, that actually isnt a bad side!

I'd include Dave van Hoesslin and Gaffie du Toit though.

Maybe Dawie Theron too.


Russell Bennett. Where is Russell Bennett?

And Theo van Rensburg?

Ian McDonald and Jannie Breedt?

Why not  Alberts at 7 - a player totally unable to make breakdown turnovers and slow and a poor defender because of lack of pace,

Alberts has left a void that has yet to be filled. He was a monster and Meyer utilized him well. His injuries severely hurt the side in 2014 and 2015. Nobody was able to replicate what he brought to the table.

AO

You stupid idiot you scream about turnovers and then champions  a player totally incapable of making any turnovers - with zero ability whatsoever to play a role in breakdown ball protection and recovery and similar when it comes to breakdown turnovers,   He was totally pace-deficient and totally devoid in ball skills.   

A slow and useless player in virtually all facets of play - a loosie who  was not one and a lock he was not - what was he?
