Chabal

Hogg and Mo’unga failed against the Boks at critical times. Barrett was certainly the best against us this year at 15, and Cooper the best at 10.

And the best centre this year by a mile is Kerevi.

I like your most of your forwards, but Lavanini and WP Nel don’t rate a place,

There's still Kuridrani in the wilderness. Surely he and Kerevi would be the most fearsome centre pair in world rugby. 

I like what Sanchez does. Totaaly bamboozled the Boks. When they clicks, that Puma midfield is frightening. Aside from errors in that first test, they unlocked our defence with absolute ease. As easily as Australia.

The Pumas are a very frustrating team to watch….sometimes brilliant, but they make so many errors.

Very true, they were down by a big margin early enough, and the Boks really hadn't done anything! Some stupid dropped passes really killed some lethal opportunities. Some seasons they are top tier, but they haven't built on their 2018.
