@oimatey,


thanks for this bro, i am on holiday at the moment and in very lazy mode, so my time here will be very minimal, so im going to use this thread for my team selections and roll back to normal next week, :o)

but regarding the bulls team from bok bef$k, i thought olivier had already left the bulls for france or where ever hes heading??? its only the kings so i can see why he might be named and jj on the bench.

Waltie Vermeulen has been with the Cheetahs for some time now. Solid enough player.....one of those players not really big enough for lock, but does a good enough stop gap.

Mnisi is an ex Sharks junior centre now playing for Griquas. By all accounts a good player. He is 23 and a big unit at 100kg or so.

Several teams resting their Test players, CM - throws a wrench in the lineups though :) Will be playing my wildcard this week in FoxSports so selection is easier than usual, the hard part will be figuring out who to start !!

Wallabies, Lions, Crusaders updated

The Sharks: 15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Louis Ludick, 12 Butch James, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Pat Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Edwin Hewitt, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Kyle Cooper, 1 Tendai Mtawarira

Replacements: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 Danie Mienie/Wiehahn Herbst, 18 Jandre Marais, 19 Jean Deysel, 20 Jacques Botes, 21 Cobus Reinach, 22 Jaco van Tonder

 Sharks and Blues updated - thanks Rooi and Mikey. Only waiting on the Highlanders, as usual.

Surprised Ranger is not playing in a must-win for the Blues. He only started the final Test. Spent a Testrugby transfer on him already because I was convinced he would play.

Engelbrecht or Shields?? Someone help! I can't make up my mind.

Already have Lappies.

Now you've added another guy into my mind. Vito may have to be picked. This is a tough week. A lot of guys on the bench.

 Thanks Mike - I must have been updating the first post as you were posting the above. Found the team on their website - now to setting the rosters !

Good luck bud
