Schalk Brits at #8?

Not saying it's a bad idea but surely Rassie could have tried it in one of the warm-up games. Oh well, I suppose it's only Namibia.

He played flanker for the Stormers, can't recal if he played 8 too (while on loan from Saracens). 

Interesting, but I suppose it's only to stop a gap while resting some and keeping others match fit .

Who covers 2?

Surely they're obligated to select a recognized hooker on the bench?

Never mind.

Goooooooooooooo Namibiaaaaaaaa!!!

Frans Steyn starting at 12 Mike!

Does Frans have any idea what that will do to the traffic congestion on this board??

Steyn is not even remotely a reasonable 12 on club level - so he has p icked De Allende to cover that position.
