If their is an injury early on, it could prove disruptive.
A back three injury should be fine, but if an inside back is injured, it is more problematic.
It could be a massive reshuffle of the backline which is not good.
RassNabber may move DeKlerk to flyhalf if their is an injury to Manie...
Then Reinach would go to 9.
It might be less disruptive, but Willemse may well be pushed to 10 instead . (Just dont give the pole kicking to Willemse)
"De Klerk returns to the number nine jersey after filling in at flyhalf against Romania, but with the coaching team of Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber opting for a 7-1 forward split on the bench, he will be needed to cover if anything happens to Manie Libbok.
"I don't think it will happen but if it needs to, I am very comfortable stepping up," said De Klerk.
"I played there before in my career and at schoolboy level. This is obviously a lot bigger but I've been training there since we got together as a group. I've trained there a lot."
Against Scotland, the effusive scrumhalf with the shank of blond hair also took over from Libbok as goalkicker.
"That only happened once," he says. "We just felt I should take over. Manie was playing amazing rugby, got man of the match. We didn't want to make that a thing."
In the case of injury…..Kwagga on…..Dud Toit to the wing where he spends half his time. Make sense?
Yes Dave has it right.
Nienaber says a second Bok forward can play in the backline. My guess is that forward in Deon Fou rie
