Possibale Bok Springbok World Cup team - Form & Meyer Choices

Allot could change in the SuperXV next year- 

1. Beast / Trevor Nkaya. Apparently he has some experience as a tighthead. With Beast at 1 and Nkaya at 3 could be an option. 

2. Strauss/ Bismaark  

3. not Coenie or Jannie/ 

4. Eztebeth / 

5. Matfield/ PSTD

6. Louw/Schalk

7. Schalk/ Coetzee

8. Vermuelen/

9. Fourie Dupreez/ Pienaar (Both can play Northern Hemisphere conditions. (Hougaard is a no hoper unless their are injuries). He understand the teams structures and knows the systems of fumling and knocking on.

10. Pollard/ Goosen/ Lambie. Goosen has the best kicking game out of the three. 

12. Serfontein/ Delande

13. Jean (?) 

14. Cheslin Kolbe

11. Habana/Sanatala

15. Willie/ Lambie/ Goosen 

Yes, Meyer will continue on his path and we will all be disappointed come the end of the RWC

Meyers WC side will be:

15. Willie 14. JP 13. Serf 12. Jean 11. Habana 10. Morne 9. du Preez 1. Beast 2. Bismark/Strauss 3. Jannie 4. Etzebeth 5. Matfield 6. Louw 7. Alberts 8. Vermeulen

Had Fourie been available he would have been 13

Its a pretty crap side that wont make it past the quarters  

 "Meyer will go for experience, he won't consider if there is an old player available, he hinted in that direction after the match, blaming inexperience."

Congratulation Meyer - you've had the Boks for more than 3 years now and you still blame inexperience as a reason for their performance. What do you need 7 years like with the Bulls to get them into a competitive squad? 

"To late I fear to turn the ship around at this stage."

No, we thrashed the English in 2007 in our pool match and they got together as a team, won their matches and almost won the Webb Ellis trophy against us.

Meyer is selling us down the river......more talent at our disposal than ever and the best he can come up with is the above side.

The only players that should be in his WC side are Willie, JP, Serfontein, Beast, Bismark/Strauss, Etzebeth and Vermeulen.......that's 50% of the side that he has right......shocking

Sharktwat my side would be along the lines of:

15. Willie 14. JP 13. JJ/de Allende 12. Serfontein/Frans 11. Senatla/Habana 10. Pollard/Goosen/Lambie 9. Hougaard/Reinach 1. Beast/ Nkanyane  2. Bismark/Strauss 3. M.v/d Merwe/ Coenie/ Malherbe 4. Etzebeth/ Willemse 5. PSDT/ Lood 6. Coetzee/ Kolisi/ Carr 7. J. du Plessis/ PSDT 8. Vermeulen/ Arno Botha  

What utter nonsense....give up. Select 30 youngsters to have a paid holiday in England. With that kind of courage the Thousand Year Reich would have been a reality.

We get into the QFs and then we have to win three games against teams we have beaten in the last year, that are just as nervous as us.

The WC has got 90% to do with belief and guts. It's not about pretty, it's about strength and aggressiveness. It's like a boxing match. The AB team in 1995 was way better than ours, they proved that in the ensuing years. But we beat them. We can beat any team in the world on the day.

We are better in tests than we are at the S15. And we are better in the RWC than we are in tests. It plays to our strengths.

Select the competitors....JP, Habana, F du Preez, Pollard.....Schalk, Vermeulen, Strauss, Etzebeth. There you have a core of 8 players who don't take a step back. Find 7 others and a reliable goal kicker and we win the RWC. 

 When Fourie Dupreez plays the Boks take the right options. He may not allways stand out but the tactics of the game are sound. He is one of the generals, and he is surely missed when Hougaard is playing the fool. 

I will have absolutely no problem with FdP being selected as our leading scrummie, provided he comes to SA, joins the Bulls and play S15 for them. I (and I believe many others made a HUGH mistake to welcome the selection of a player purely based on reputation) don't want another Juan Smith scenario.
