 Bench not as good as one would have hoped. Matfiled uggggh. Alberts, Pienaar.
rather Du Toit, Marcell Coeztee and Faf De Klerk. Pienaar if it rains maybe and then Alberts may also be a possibility. 

Beeno, having wee Matfield on the bench is a good thing for the Boks. 
They must be hoping that he will help them in the later stages of the game when they need a well executed rolling maul. The Boks will be trying to win penalties & get the cowardly (but legalized obstruction) going to get some cheap points.

Thank fuck useless Matfield is not starting  

". . . rather Du Toit, Marcell Coeztee and Faf De Klerk."

Baboon-ou, are you actually following RWC2015 at all? Do you know that Marcell Coetzee and Faf de Klerk are not even in the squad?

Just how out of touch is this idiot? Seriously!

 Matfield should have been selected to start from the STANDS.
