About right. I have a concern though about two small wings. I like what I saw of Mpimpi. Good finisher and great in the air.
The leaked side looks good. Vermuelen on the bench is an option to keep him fresh, - as with Willie Leroux.
Wiese needs to up his game, he was better last season than this year.
Arme ouDawie, no DdA but effing Mostert ............ hehehehe
With the exception of Faf it's exactly the side I would have chosen. Oh well, what's another aim less box kick or two?
Faf has been kicking way less this season...
Faf has been kicking way less this season...
True. And he's in better form.
Th at said I think he's ordinary compared to Williams.
The only advantage Faf has over Williams is test experience. Williams is faster, kicks less and passes quicker.
Not a bad choice to have and we have quality scrumhalves like Hendrickse and Reinach in reserve, but I think in the longer term Grant Williams will be the one.
Faf's value is being a nuisance in the face of the opposition all the time.
I have no issues with Faff starting, but if Williams consistently outperforms Faff, maybe Williams should start as the tournament progresses.
Williams is the fastest scrumhalf I have ever seen, so having him as an impact player when the game opens up also works. Not just how fast he runs, but how quick he is at the base of the ruck.
(Apparently he is the fastest runner in the team).
Maybe Faff will go to 10 if the Boks get an unsurmountable lead.
You’re worrying about your scrum halves….we’ve got flaming Ben Youngs !!
Better Youngs than Von poor Feet
Yeah yeah, Saffex. Rub it in why don’t you ?!
Mozart…..at least Van Portvliet is slightly speedier with his service than Youngs the tortoise !!
I remember Youngs faking the barge Dud Toit twice in a game…spare a thought for us, we have the Dud.
Ha ha ha ! We all have our crosses to bear…..some of us more than others !
The team will only be announced on Friday as we now have to follow WR rules on team announcement. 48 hrs before match.
Team is being announced tonight at 18:45pm
Interesting. The reason for Canan Moodie's exclusion is given as a minor hamstring injury.
This gives me hope that the leaked team above is in fact Rassie's first choice but he couldn't pick his favoured centre pairing because of this injury.
xavi, there's only ever a deadline for naming your side. You can announce your team a week in advance if you feel like it.
Cheers Rooi.
