Van Staden and Wiese are dumb muscle selections. I like the replacement players more.
Intreting selection of Wesels as hooker - he has scrummed as loosehead at times and played at hooker other times - he may yet develop as a hooker and may end up replacing Mbonambi in the longer term.
It’s almost like Rasmus wants to lose this one….not a great team.
Looks a good side to me - it tells me Rassie wants to win it
Only poor call is Reinach at 9
I know we are scraping the barrel here when it comes to locks, but what the hell is Rassie obsession with that deadweight Moerat. He is as thick as two planks.
We have better locks and better players that can lead. Especially if Pollard is starting.
The guys is probably going to break down in the first 10 min. Absolutely overhyped useless players. Surely Rassie don't need to use quotas anymore.
He can pick a wight captain.
