I really want the boks to win every game, but not with the players they used during the championship. Mallet pointed out the other day that Libbok doesn't suite the boks game plan and that every player around him will need to adjust and know how to play off him. But, a great coach would see that and get the most off the team. That said, here is who I would like to see get a crack and finally settle the debate once and for all. 


  1. Kittshoff  - Ox
  2. Marx - Mbonambi - Dweeb, had a sold first game for the Stormers
  3. Malherbe - Du Toit
  4. Etzebeth - Jenkins (Out Moerat)
  5. Lood - PSDT (Moving steph to the bench and Lock and looseforward cover)
  6. Kolisi (Token pick) - Coetzee 
  7. Louw
  8. Roos 
  9. Hendrikse - Reinach (Can cover Wing and Scrumhalf, Zak Burger is my first choice but thinking of players that are in the system)
  10. Libbok - Goosen (Goosen can cover all of the positions)
  11. Arendse 
  12. Willemse
  13. Rohan Jansen Van Rensburg (Massive impact for the Sharks so far)
  14. Moody
  15. Gelant

9/23 darker brothers to please the ANC, 8 on Merit  Some on here rave about De Allende, so probably in the wider group.

Kwagga is the BEST Block but you choose neverwas Coetzee? YOu feks are useless. Black de Linsy at 12??? Hahahahaha wehe!! Roose... but Wiese is the NEXT best Block??? You guys are never quick to learn huh?? Take a PROVEN talent and you chuck them away... unbelievable. Both wings scraping the bottom of the barrel. Hopeless. Mapompi is still the best Block wing by far...Rohan... now some actual thinking for a change. Maybe... have to see.

I am glad you are not pocking the team - that would be a disastrous one to start with since the backline functioning in both attack and especially defense would be jeopardized with Libbok and especially Van Rensburg around.    I would rather have Goosen at flyhalf and De Allende at 12 and  Willemse at full back to replace Le Roux.

My biggest concern at the moment is who will be our backup at 13. 

At the bulls we have

Simalane who has promise but he has only played once this season and that has been at 15. Doesn't look like the bulls trust him yet to play 13 and don't know why they shifted him to 15. 

Then for the Stormers, other than Nel, who is good, but not great. We have Hartzenberg, but he is untested and too soon. Dan Du Plessis has done the job, but he hardly ever plays and gets injured often. Good player though

At the Lions they have Henco Van Wyk who I have been really impressed with. Don't know if they have another 13 of his quality. In know Saffex goes on about Xamalesh, but I haven't seen him in action and he doesn't have that much first class rugby under his belt. 

The sharks have AM, but he is injured, so Rohan has been filling the gap. He can play both 12 and 13 Seems to have some serious pace for a big square like him. Bit injury prone too, but he has a bok cap. 

So I think we don't have that many options. 

I know I did not mention Kriel, but the guy is somewhere in Japan, look more suited to the Gym than the rugby field. Would love to see him back in the URC and get better look at him.
