Obviously we want to win the game. Clearly we want our squad of 23 to play Ireland to be as fresh as possible and ready to compete.
Is it a test o experiment eg Hooker at 12. Time to give players, a chance.
One thing for sure pack your bench with your best players. Hopefully they only play 20 minutes or so.
This guy has a little You Tube Channel going and has made an interesting selection.
I’d go with
15 Arendse 14 Edwil 13 Moodie 12 Hooker 11 Williams 10 Pollard 9 vd Bergh 1 Venter 2 Grobelaar 3 Porthen 4 Kleyn 5 RG 6 v Staaden 7 BJ Dixon 8 Kwagga
16 Marx 17 Steenkamp 18 Wilco 19 Eben 20 Wiese 21 Libbok 22 Willemse 23 Esterhuizen
Beeno that stupid prick does not even know the difference between a 1 and 3 and I doubt Esterhuizen will play 6 more than likely 7!
Good side Saffex,
I'd definitely rest Eben, Jasper and PSDT. Maybe RG too. Mostert can partner Kleyn with RG and Nortje on the bench. Id start Hooker at 11 and let Willemse have a run at 12. Williams off the bench. Starting Willams on the wing means if he has to go to 9 for Morne, He's going to play a full game and that's a lot of wear and tear on him, especially with Ireland looming.
15 Van der Merwe. 14 Hooker, 13 Moodie, 12 Willemse, 11 Arendse, 10 Pollard. 9 Van den Berg, 8 Kwagga,
7 Du Toit (captain), 6 Esterhuizen, 5 Mostert, 4 Kleyn, 3 Porthen, 2 Grobbelaar, 1 Steenekamp
16 Van Staaden, 17 Ntlabakanye, 18 Louw, 19 Etzebeth, 20 Kolisi, 21 Dixon, 22 Williams, 23 Libbok
Libbok and Arendse were pahetic on Saturday and they need game time. So does Etzebeth as well.
Bullshit were they pathetic
A charge down against Libbok but that first one was because he had time taken off him. He received the pass behind him, had to turnaround and then make the kick.
Arendse’s poor awareness and intensity in defending that Penaud first try
Two charge downs - not one. One can be overlooked - two is serious BS.
Oh what utter shit - he was good bar one charge down
No one is fucking stupid enough to define a players performance by one charge down
L:isten maybe you missed the second charge down. One can be excused - two represents BS . I never said he should be dumped from the squad -I said he needs more game time. He had some good matches - and I suported him as second choice flyhalf. Pollard is rapidly approaching retirement and, In the Ede Prk test abd int eh Bulls URC match he shoed signs o deficiencies,
The flyhalfs I rate for t he future are -
1 Sacha
2 Libbok and
3 Matthee,
