could be Habana into center or JdV/Monty into flyhalf, perhaps he’s alreading thinking of using Snyman in some sort of capacity or a reshuffled backrow.

The internal tour of 1985 comes to mind, as does the Springboks (in offical jerseys et al) vs the Junior Springboks in 1991.

Same as the players now, they get selected, they play.
Naas is just saying its NOT a world xv and we all agree,
I dont think they should play in Springbok jerseys at all, play in green and gold, with the SARUGBY emblem, but not the Springbok emblem.

Amuses me to hear the proposed XV’s players being referred to as “hasbeens”; this coming from people who in all liklihood dreamed of being good enough to lace up their togs.

It is like a team of past international players past there best.
