Well if you claim these players are not essential to Bok success, then the Number of players on your list will increase. DDA Siya Kolisi Salmaan Moerat Jessica Kriel Van Staden Nicolaas JV Rensburg These players are also candidates that is not essential to Bok success. We have better Younger players that can step in. Besides it will not take the younger players long, to familiarise themselves with there Positions.

DDA at present the  best  12 in the world and that is rcognized by experts hroughout the world and derided by site idiots base on prejudice.  That counts for nthing in the rugby world and dishonesy about hat happened in amtches and liess spread by you is definitely not of any value.     I posted tries scored b De Allede over the last fice years and you dd notnotice the ivovlement in scoring of the tries scored by oher players as well.   How many tries or tries assist did sterhuizen scored in the tests he played in?  NONE  and that show the BS spreading we hve to keep up with.

Oh wow, yes. What's DDA at now, 83 tests? Esterhuizen 18 or something? One would almost, I mean, it's a stretch, but one would ALMOST think that one of those players have had maybe just a tiny bit more opportunity to score a few tries.

Pakie

Esterhuizen did not get more opportunities because his pefomances in the tests played did not justify more opportunities,   If Wilemse is fit - which he will be next week - it is unlikely that Estrhuizen will be called up for the quad from which to play in fhe remaiing test n Nelspruit would be played, ,

An inside center who played in 18 tests and messed up the only one real try-scoring opportuity by  knocking on the  ball - he is just not up to standard,    In all tests, franchise and clubs De Alleede played for since 2014 he scored a try once in evey 7 matches he played in - one would have expected that in the 18 maches Esterhuizen played in for the Springboks he should he scared a least 2 tries to jsutify his retetion in the Springbok team -  but there was one big sero in evidence,   

Esterhuizen is already 30 years of age and to expect a higher level of performances over he next three years would be toally unforeseen bearing in mind his performnces thus far on test level.  I have high hopes for Hooker - but I thnk that Willmse will be the more likely choice at 12.  Hooper and Willemse is the potential replacements for De Allende - but on the level De Allende performs at present he wlll not be replaced unless there is deterioration in performances on his part.
