Rassie to split the squad

For the two Argie tests I’m guessing the likes of Willie, Kolbe, Kriel, de Allende, Ox, Bongi, Marx, Malherbe, Etzebeth, Kolisi and PSDT will be rested and stay at home Players that have been out of action and need game time will no doubt travel to Argentina. This includes Willemse (if ready), Am, Kitshoff and Moodie. Others that have been sparingly used will no doubt travel like Fassi, Esterhuizen, Libbok, Hendrikse, Wessels, Thomas, Grobelaar, Moerat, BJ Dixon, Elrigh Louw and Wiese Arendse missed the last test so will probably travel So what do we have: 15. Fassi 11/14. Arendse / Moodie 13/12. Am / Esterhuizen 10. Sacha / Libbok 9. Williams / Hendrikse 1. Steenkamp / Wessels 2. Grobelaar / AH Venter 3. Thomas 4/5. Moerat / Nortje 6/7/8. Kwagga / BJ Dixon / v Staaden / Wiese / Elrigh Louw Let’s hope the likes of Green, Hooker, David Kriel, Papier, Wilco, Jenkins, Ruben v Heerden, Ruan Vermaak, Buthelezi, Hanekom and the Tsituka brothers are considered but I doubt it - unfortunately

Rest all the older players and send the younger players to Argentina.

No pressure on the Boks because if a young Bok side is beaten, the most experienced players will have rested and prepared for the next week's test. 

Argentina have to get on a plane fly to South Africa and then play a rested team with the most caps in history. 

I think that is Rassie’s plan except for the older ones that have not played much like Am, Esterhuizen and Kitshoff

Nonsense Mike your anti Esterhuizen makes no sense at all Esterhuizen is a class act but at 30 he is not the future but deserves a few more caps

It’s a perfect opportunity to send a young side out there to blood them 15. Fassi / Jordan Hendrikse 14. Arendse / Green 13. Moodie/ Jurenzo Julius 12. Hooker/ David Kriel 11. Tambwe / Davids 10. Sacha / Libbok 9. Papier / Nohamba 1. Steenkamp / Wessels 2. Dweba / AH Venter 3. Wilco / Thomas 4. Jenkins / Moerat 5. Ruben v Heerden / Ruan Vermaak 6. Hanekom / Buthelezi 7. BJ Dixon / Vincent Tsituka 8. Elrigh Louw / Emmanuel Tsituka

Esterhuizen is not dumb muscle Mike - you have always been 100% incorrect when it comes to Esterhuizen
