15 Willie le Roux, 14 S’bu Nkosi, 13 Lukhanyo Am, 12 Frans Steyn (Damian de Allende), 11 Cheslin Kolbe, 10 Handre Pollard, 9 Herschel Jantjies (Faf de Klerk), 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Eben Etzebeth (RG Snyman), 3 Trevor Nyakane, 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Steven Kitshoff (Tendai Mtawarira). ..... That's Rob Houwing's team.....Tokkie's favourite source apparently thinks Frans, Vermeulen, Louw and Mostert should be starting. I would put Mostert at blindside and start the dominating Snyman. Put the Beast back, retain Faf and put Duhan van der Merwe on the left wing with Kolbe on the right wing. At centre outside Frans, Mapoe looks the best bet.

Why for him to make a relieving kick from the red zone rolling on the grass in the 2012 test as he did in 2012?   I believe Erasmus would like to win the test not lose it by playing a center hs club chose not to and a former coach said he is not a center at all.

You need to hire a proof reader.

Rassie is a shrewd selector. 
Hieneke Meyer biggest weakness was selection.

Rassie has to decide what comes first, testing certain players or going all out for a win. 

He needs to test Frans by Starting him at 12.

He also needs to give Coetzee a start along with Reinach. Then what about forgotten man Lleyds a smart player who may do better than Mpimpi.

Another who has done well is Gqboka. 

So that is the issue. Where there is any uncertaintyabout a players inclusion in the squad give them a shot. 

Or go for the win at all costs. 

Of course if he decides to test some players and loses Dr Moz will argue from Rassie win/loss record as will the Organhuffer.

Beeno calling it as it is.

Why bother with the x factor players when we won't be utilising them? Rassie wants stout defence and kicking, yet he selects aerially inferior players and porous defenders. It makes no sense. The game he wants requires tall and physical wings and robust centres. I maintain that he doesn't know what he wants and hasn't twigged with a lot of what hasn't worked.

So the kicking game and defense are bad.  What a farce from the "expert"  who thinks that Morne Steyn was better than Dan Carter.   Morne was the worst defender and worse kicking out of hand player ever to wear Springbok jersey at flyhalf  so he is a good one to talk about a kicking and defending game.   He also quack on about Fat Fransie with the same problems .
