I do not think there is much Meyer could do after the mess yesterday, bearing in mind what is going on on the injury front as well:-
15   Willie le Roux14   Jean de Villiers13   Jesse Kriel12   Damian de Allende11   Bryan Habana10   Patrick Lambie  9   Cobus Reinach  8   Pieter-Steph du Toit  7   Lappies Labuschagne  6   Jaco Kriel  5   Lood de Jager  4   Eben Etzebeth  3   Frans Malherbe  2   Adriaan Strauss  1   Steven Kitshoff
16   Bismarck du Plessis17   Trevor Nyakane18   Marcel van der Merwe19   Franco Mostert20   Schalk Burger21   Faf de Klerk22   Handre Pollard23   S Senatla
Bismarck and Burger looked tired and ineffective yesterday.  Both should be put on the bench.   Du Preez is injured and is not likely to get fit before the WC and he would not be exposed to further injuries.   
We have a serious problem at Tighthead.  Our loosies are bad as well.   Brussow was absent from the game yesterday - Burger was a blunderbuss - Coetzee obviously was not over his injury.   Louw is also injured - so time to call up others.  Same with the locks - since Flippie was useless when tried out in that position previously.  
For heavens sake - do not play De Allende as a loosie where he e nded up yesterday.

ou maaikie who got injured? What Meyer most needs are.my contact details! Burger I heard was one of our best players snd earned a 7 rating. Dont let your prejudices get the better if you like Card.

 It is not prejudice Beeno - it is fact.  Burger was active - but really ineffective.   His passing was a disgrace and he was losing balls when tackles after carries.  There was no ball protection on the part of anybody. 
Burger looked like a boy with a toy who did not know what to do with it.  I gained the impression that he was overplayed and need a rest - further games now would damage his prospects and usage in the WC   
Coetzee was injured and the present injured include Vermeulen, Louw and the lay Alberts.   In other words of the loosies in the squad only Burger, Kolisi and Brussow are available.   Burger was active - but ineffective yesterday.  Brussow and Kolisi did squat on the field of play.  I would keep Burger in the set-up, but rest him on Saturday or five him a bench position.  Alberts is and remain a hopeless case who should never have been in the squad at all.
