I couldn't pick a side with Moodie not starting, other than that I like your team.

You are probably correct wih the eam selecion - bar I think that Wlilie Le Roux will be on the bench and not  Moodie.   Willie a 3 tests to go to have a 100 caps for the Springboks and wil feaure in both the remaining 2 November tests.   By the way with his goal kicking deficiency I do not think Libbok will feature against Eland as well.   

Against Wales a few key players will be in the staring line-up wih he rest being in the main youngsters  in the squad.   Wales losing against Fiji was pathetic and they will even play Hendriks at flyhalf with Pollard on the bench.   There wil be tw no-no's in the Wales es and hoe are Esterhuizen and Mostert - who boh were pathetic in he est against he Scots.                   

Only place Moodie could start would be 13 as there is no way you leave Kolbe or Arendse out

Agreed

Pollard should start and also Kriel. 

Kriel has turned into an excellent center. His work rate is unbelievable as is his defence. Nice touches as well. 

I suppose guys like Hanekom, Libok and Moodie will start against Wales.

You might see the undervalued Nortje starting with Eben with RG in the bench. Ditto you could see Marx on the bench where he always excels. 

There are actually a lot of options. 

Shows how Rassie has built depth.

Nortje is another lightweight powder puff like Mostert and is out of the tour

Kriel has been good but Am is the better player - far more well hung with a great rugby brain

Am is past it.

So is Kriel.

Canan is the future. He should be starting as many games as possible and the old toppies can play off the bench.

How many times must Libbok fail before you see him for what he is? 

It doesn’t matter who you put out, you’ll still beat us !  

Agree on Libbok he is good for a couple of good passes or cross kicks, but can’t pull thru the Clutch Kicks for a win and can’t defend to save his life.

Start Pollard and have Jordan Hendrikse on the Bench.

Moodie has improved on his tackling and I would also play him at 13. Together with Esterhuisen. Dr. Allendig is a ball killer.

Besides Esterhuisen proved he can do everything Dud can do and offload.

Start Cameron or at least have him on the bench….

Saw a interview on You tube with Tony Brown and Cobus Reinach about England game.

Usually when a player gets to do a interview with a coach together, that means he will play?

So it looks like Reinach might be our scrum half for the England Game.

And the team will be announced on Thursday.

Libbok is a class act - he has not come close to failing

Marx will be on the bench with Bongi Starting. I would drop Bongi, start Marx and put Grobbies on the bench. 

I would go as far as having Stenekamp, Grobbies and Louw in the bomb squad. 

As a front row combo they are extremely destructive 

The team  is likely to be announced today.   No more idiocy in backline selecions should be tolerated again.
