SA TEAM OF THE WEEK (ROUND 14) 15. Warrick Gelant (Bulls) 14. Courtnall Skosan (Lions) 13. Lionel Mapoe (Lions) 12. Burger Odendaal (Bulls) 11. Rosko Specman (Bulls) 10. Handré Pollard (Bulls) 9. Herschel Jantjies (Stormers) 8. Duane Vermeulen (Bulls) 7. Siya Kolisi (Stormers) 6. Kwagga Smith (Lions) 5. RG Snyman (Bulls) 4. Eben Etzebeth (Stormers) 3. Carlu Sadie (Lions) 2. Schalk Brits (Bulls) 1. Lizo Gqoboka (Bulls ......about right. I'd have chosen Willemse who did many good things...including a massive try saving tackle....at 15. Notable absentees include Malherbe and Kitshoff who are seemingly unable to apply scrumming pressure.

Kitshoff form may be off currently but he's proven at test level. Sadie deserves recognition for higher honours.

Mozart

Don't be over-happy because it is total balls.   Kwagga played at 8 and the competition was between Vermeulen and him for selection at 8.   Kolisi played at 6 and not 7.    You must always match players up in the position they actually played in.  

It is not worthwhile comparing apples with pears - in other words real BS,

No Mozart

Wiese played at 5 and on the day was the best lock playing for any SA team considering the opposition faced.

... but I thought that Coetzee "firmed up" enough to crack the team at 15 ... ??

Tell you one thing ... everything is brought into perspective when a player like Lionel Mapoe make the team of the week ... 

It's a hell of thing when quotas are also made a part of the team of the week.
