Not too shabby, that backline. 


Expect Louw will only play the 1st half to be replaced by Coetzee.
Leyds covers back 3 although I think he should have started at 15.
Britz and Orie are worrisome though. Why not Akkers????

Rassie having played as a flanker seems least clued up when it comes to looseforwards. Everyone of his trio is playing out of position. Elstadt playing 6 is a 7 PSDT a lock playing 7 Louw a so called 6 playing 8 Poor poor selection The fact that he has ignored the du Preez twins is just plain stupidity

The most surprising selection is Elstat at 6. He is either a number 7, or a lock. Are Stephanie and Elizabeth now B-team players? 

It is a relatively strong team.

Etzebeth is his next in line as captain so he had to play i guess and I think he sent 10 first choice players off to NZ so some in this side will play against NZ Etzebeth Mapimpi Nkosi Kriel PSDT Beast Will probably also start against NZ

SB

The players who had injuries (Etzebeth, De Jager and Du Toit for instance) need game time and so does Mtawarira.   They will be off to NZ together with the caching staff.    Erasmus send 15 players to NZ and will take another 11 players to NZ to make up a squad of 26
