Two steps forward....one back for the Bok team

15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Dillyn Leyds, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Courtnall Skosan, 10 Handre Pollard, 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Siya Kolisi, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Lood de Jager, 4 Eben Etzebeth (captain), 3 Wilco Louw 2 Malcolm Marx, 1 Tendai Mtawarira Substitutes: 16 Bongi Mbonambi , 17 Steven Kitshoff, 18 Trevor Nyakane , 19 Franco Moster, 20 Dan du Preez, 21 Rudy Paige, 22 Elton Jantjies, 23 Damian de Allende ....... The team is better for Pollard and Vermeulen. But Francois Venter is a horrible selection and he will cost us before the tour is over. .. I guess the only surprise is that Paige who has some playing time with Pollard wasn’t selected....and good old Lomp has been retained after a truly flaccid performance against Ireland.
