The squad will be announced on Saturday - so I am taking the liberty to pick the team Meyer will pick against the one I would pick so as to allow for maimum input by the members here.
Meyers Side
15 Kirchner, 14 Mvovo, 13 Engelbrecht, 12 De Villiers, 11 Habana, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Vermaak, 8 Spies, 7 Alberts, 6 Louwm, 5 Kruger, 4 Etzebeth, 3 Du Plessis, 2 Strauss, 1 Beast
16 Du Plessis, 17 Oosthuizen, 18 Van der Merwe, 19 Botha, 20 Hougaard, 21 Lambie, 22 Basson
After all - there must at least be 10 Bulls in a team of 22 players.
My Side
15 Le Roux, 14 Mvovo 13 Engelbrecht, 12 De Villiers, 11 Habana, 10 Steyn, 9 Vermaak, 8 Botha, 7 Labuschagne, 6 Louw, 5 Du Toit, 4 Etzebeth, 3 Oosthuizen, 2 Strauss, 1 Beast
16 Du Plessis, 17 Du Plessis, 18 Van der Merwe, 19 Alberts, 20 Hougaard, 21 Lambie, 22 Mvovo
I had to perforce include players from Meyer's training camp squad only. I did not mention Serfontein since I think he will go to the Under 20 WC.
Problem is I have serious reservations about the following players being at the training camp and think Meyer should have invited other in-form players rather than those he did invite:-
Kichner, Basson, De Jongh, Jantjies, Hougaard and Alberts, to name but a few.
Matter of fact tking all available players into account - my backline would look like follows:=
15 Le Roux, 14 Engelbrecht, 13 De Villiers, 12 De Allende, 11 Habana, 10 Steyn, 9 Van Zyl.
De Allende got stuffed up badly by Coetzee by him not being in the Stormers starting line-up - he showed a lot of talent and the abiiity to break tackles and carry the ball at speed and also how to be effective in other aspects of the game.
