Leave SA and go qualify to play for another country as fucking Rassie has yet again snubbed him. Shit I feel for the lad. Rassie’s anti Roos is pathetic

I feel for Papier as well, snubbed after a good performance against the Scots in favour of 36 year old Reinach - what is the bloody point?

Ruben v Heerden on standby? WTF is Mostert still doing in the squad ahead of him.

Some players just have a free pass while others regardless of what they don’t just can’t seem to penetrate the selection wall.

Moyo given a free pass again, while Reinach and Mostert continue to ride the wave

Piss poor calls

Cameron and Divvy are there though.

Roos might be there there too if played smarter rugby instead of attempting to convince us all that he's our next hulk. YOU ARE NOT THAT GUY! GET IT THROUGH YOUR SKULL!

Still, i feel for Roos because he really does have the makings of a world class hybrid player. As much as you don't like to hear it, Dave, Roos does have the skillset and athleticism to do a job in the backline as well as play upfront. For that reason alone i would have thought Rassie would include him. Once AE goes, who else do have that is suited to the hybrid role?

As for Moyo, it seems he got quite a few negative reports here after the weekend but i thought he did quite well considering he's barely been a professional for a year. Also, and while very abstract, watching the game on the weekend, when he was taking one of his kicks at the posts, the nickname "Policeman" popped into my head. I have no idea why. From now on, that's my name for him..."Policieman". I like him and i think he has a big future ahead of him. Honestly, I'm glad he's being included.

Disagree that he is trying to play like a hard man. He plays it narrow and wide for the Stormers and is probably under instruction to play it narrow for the Boks which is sad considering he would lend himself perfectly to playing Brown ball

Moyo is at best solid, he offers very little on attack, does the basics well - is that really what we need?

Considering how good Yaqeen Ahmed has been for the Baby Boks it makes absolutely no sense that Moyo is the one playing test rugby. Foote the Baby Bok coach knew this - he started the impressive Ahmed with Moyo on the bench and rightly so - it was literally not even close
