Injured. The one player that can make a real difference to the Boks.

 I am sorry to hear that he is injured Pakie. What about the Lions centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg?

At home, healthy and kicking. Not selected for whatever reason.

 Mate sorry for your stupid selections but weaker Boks and weaker Wallabies make weaker ABs. Get those players on the field. They are a joy to watch (although begrudgingly of course when they play against us since we don't want them to score tries against us )

 Pollard cracks under pressure ... much the same as Jantjies.
Over rated.
Lambie is back on the field. Should give him the rest of the year to settle. He is the only one worthy for the Bok 10 jersey.

 the 3 of them notice the pressure, Jantjes, Lambie and Pollard,....... but not in the same way

as we could see these last weeks, Jantjes cracks completely under pressure,..... and it will be very difficult for him to get over it,........ but Lambie has also cracked every time he played for the boks (true that he has had very few starting opportunities),.... in this case probably with more gametime and good coaching I think he could get over it

and IMO Pollard could handle it with some more games,..... playing him at 12 probably would help also,..... at test level I see him more suited for the inside center

9. ???????   10. Goosen/Lambie

12. Pollard    13. RJ. van Rensburg

11. ???????   14. ???????????    15. Combrick

this would be the only competitive bok backline,...... but there's no scrummie up to test level ( I would play Faf but he 's too green yet) or wings (I would probably play there Habana who's long time past his best and de Allende),...... I cannot see any other backline SA player able to play tests

 You are nearer the mark than possible ABF - I think that backline will be better.

 Pollard has not played enough Tests to judge him so severely yet but Lambie has.
