Another list? So, how do you plan on using each combination, and what combinations will you have? What plays, patterns? How do you plan on attacking France/New Zealand?

Doos the day I entertain you is the day hell freezes over. Given you know fuck all about the game and in particular the players how in heavens name would you begin to comprehend what patterns of play or pod deploying entailed huh?

You are a fucking joke. Your worth lies in me telling you what a useless twat you are

So many options in the backline, that it is not clear who the best starting team is.
Not just which individuals, but which combinations too.

Yeah there are so many possibilities. For me it’s about getting the best 15 on the field

Some calls are obvious but most are not

At fullback Willemse has the edge, he has the individual brilliance but Willie gives you creativity set up.

On the wing the three options are very close in Kolbe, Arendse and Moodie. Kolbe and Arendse are similar while Moodie gives you more size

At inside centre de Allende and Esterhuizen are a mirrored image there is nothing between them. Willemse would provide something completely different, an option under explored. Pollard would do a job and provide goal kicking security

At outside centre Am stands tall but back from injury protocol stands in his way. Moodie looks set to be a gem at 13 but he is clearly a work in progress. Willemse has the credentials to be a great 13 he has the tools. de Allende at 13 would give us the AE/DA combo which would take some stopping. Kriel would do a job but one that short changes a little

At flyhalf there is little to choose between Pollard and Libbok, with Pollard lacking game time and Libbok being a suspect goal kicker. Willemse provides back up and that’s it

At 9, Faf has the edge but Williams and Reinach provide attacking clout and Hendrikse is a work in progress

At loosehead there is nothing between Kitshoff and Ox, with Nyakane as back up

At hooker Mbonambi stands tall with Fourie the pretender and v Staaden the joker

At tighthead Malherbe stands tall but Nyakane looks good with Koch solid

At 4 Eben has no peers as does RG at 5. Kleyn, PSDT and Mostert are backups not challengers

At 6 Kolisi and Kwagga are close with useful backups in v Staaden and Fourie

At 7 PSDT stands tall and alone. Mostert is a poor backup as he is at 5

At 8 there is little between Wiese and Vermeulen with age having dulled the Vermeulen effect giving Wiese the edge
