With a finger issue - he is a huge loss - won’t have him against Ireland

Kitshoff is also out for some time as is Kwagga. Not sure how long Marx is out for. Am is also under an injury cloud with shoulder and rib injury

Damn!...might open a door for Dan-Dup or Kriel...although Willemse would probably stay at fullback for the Bokke...Gelant might get a look then...he's been playing really well this season, despite his shaky start.

Yeah would love to see Gelant or Fassi at 15

David Kriel simply has to be in the mix - what a player

Even Jake said he does not usually single out players but could not help but do so when it comes to Kriel

Kriel and DanDup combo would be interesting...

Willemse is definitely a loss….he is in good form. …maybe Quan Horn will be used more as he was picked….hope David gets the call up.

Willie will stay in the picture given Willemse is out

Willie is playing excellent rugby….still our best fullback.

Willie has been good but Gelant and Fassi have been far better but Willie’s experience will see him start against Ireland I reckon

So the genius is not going to choose the ‘far better’ fullbacks.

No because experience counts in Willie’s favour against a formidable Irish side, coupled with the fact Willie is in good form

I’d also select Willie against Ireland for the experience reason

But one certainty is that Gelant and Fassi have been on fire this season which is encouraging for Rassie moving forward
