The following is the joke team announced by Coetzee:-

15 Pat Lambie, 14 Bryan Habana, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Juan de Jongh, 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Rudy Paige, 8 Warren Whiteley, 7 Oupa Mohoje, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Vincent Koch, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Tendai Mtawarira

Replacements :

16 Bongi Mbonambi, 17 Steven Kitshoff, 18 Julian Redelinghuys, 19 Lood de Jager, 20 Willem Alberts, 21 Jaco Kriel, 22 Lionel Mapoe, 23 Willie le Roux

Although Mozart will be delirious about some elections I am not sure whether I would laugh or cry about the team - to my mind it is an absolute abortion asnd my reasons for that is as follows:-

Pat Lambie 

Lambie is a flyhalf who occasionally play at full back.  H is a ten times better flyhalf than the dolt selected as flyhalf

Juan de Jongh

This guy at 12 carries no punch in attacking play - he goes Awol regularly and his defense is piss-poor.   He reuglarly goes AWOL during games and that was the case again in the test against the AB's.  What the hell is he doing in the team?

Morne Steyn

Remember the Perth test where the Aussies ran through him lie a sieve.  He is a real defensive liability and has no attacking skills - his main attribute is aimless  donkey kicks.   His club routinely played him as a bench player and that makes him apparently in Coetzee's book the real deal.

Rudy Paige

This guy cannot make the Bulls starting line up because he goes AWOL and is more often than not in position to receive balls - yet he is now the starting scrummie for the Springboks.  Defense poor and no attacking ability - really a joke selection.

Oupa Mohoje

The loosie with very poor defense, non-existent attack and incapable of ball protection and recovery.  There is only one loosie in world rugby worse than him and that is Willem Alberts.

Francois Louw

A low work rate player that could be marginally acceptable as a blindsider - an opensider he is not.   He is slow, and poor in defense and virtually incapable of ball protection and recovery.   Regular penalty give awayer.

Bongi Mbonambi 

There is just one observation about this guy and that is he is not an international level player.

Willem Alberts 

The joke selection who played for 35 minutes against the AB's and never made a single tackle.  Slow as a ox when considered as a loosie and incapable of ball protection and recovery.   In serious competition as the worst loosie in world rugby. 

Lionel Mapoe 

Failed in all the tests he played in - yet e is on the bench.

I give the Australians a plus 15 points win over that concoction and cannot see h ow they can be anything bar poor.

 It's a mess.
We now have Lambie, HouGat, Habana, Jesse Kriel, Juan De Jongh and Louw all playing out of position.

That's 6 of the starting 15.
I see he's persisting with a 6/2 split.
I feel for Lambie. He's never had a fair shake. I would recommend he leave our shores and go gather some coin abroad.

 Any truth to the rumour that AC has wiped Dis-Chem out of KY for Strauss to hand out after the Captains run?

 What a fantastic half back pair we have!
Steyn and Paige to take us back to number 1 on the rankings.
Along with token players Mahoje, Juan and Mbonambi.

I want to vomit!
I honestly feel a tremendous sense of sadness at the moment.

I still back the boks to win on the highveld vs aus, so the BEE selections will be masked and lauded as a success!

 BokBF, yes I heard something along those lines.
And with the size of Oupa's " Zulu King", they may still need more KY.
Lord knows, Oupa has to give it to coach more often than anyone else to keep his place.

This team is pathetic. Forget about the quotas- half the team is out of position. A real musical chairs outfit. 
Moane Steyn is back, with No Goosen.Jantjies has been poor- but he and Coetzee have a track record of no understanding. 
Oupa headbutt is looking forward to running around aimlessly- with a neck made of Jello.
Rudy Page is ok. He has a decent pass and clearance kick- but obviously not Springbok standard.
Marx should be starting.
Dejong punches above his weight- but that is still not nearly enough. It is only a matter of time where someone runs over him to break the Springbok defence into tatters
Bongi is solid around the park. He needs to work on his throwing- but seems ok. 
Hougaard got bullied on the wing by the all Blacks. It is no brainer that Willie leroux was on the wing. 
We need Leroux on the wing- to avoid him doing chip kicks
lambie is better at 15, where he can get some space. He is a Morne clone at 10-
