Who are ridiculously weak so no doubt we will see the rest of the squad used and given it’s make up will necessitate players playing out of position Why we chose such a strange squad with four 9’s and fours 6’s is still beyond me I guess the side will look something like: 15. Willie 14. Reinach 13. Moodie 12. Esterhuizen 11. Mapimpi 10. Willemse 9. Hendrikse 1. Ox 2. Fourie 3. Koch 4. Kleyn 5. Orie 6. v Staaden 7. Kwagga 8. Vermeulen (c)

I would definitely field a team made up of bench and fringe players but I'm not sure our control-freak moron of a coach will do the same.

I would start the first-choice team for continuity for the first half, and then empty the bench in the 2nd half. Maybe rest a few key players like Eztebeth, DuToit, Faff 

I would stick with most of the team last weekend, but just change the centres. (And maybe bring Leroux back in at 10).

Injuries are a concern, but we also need the team battle-hardened and ready for the Irish- and the quarter-final.

I hope the two centres are the only ones he retains . . . rest AE and Moodie for Ireland.

AE and CM need gametime.......the partnership needs to continuously build confidence.

DDA and Jessica for this game... And then our better combo of AE and Moodie for the following one as a nice warm up for Ireland...where there is no chance in hell we should be picking DDA and Jessica.
