Having Matfield/Bakkies getting a rest for one match , due too super14 commitment i think we should try a lock combination of Muller with vd Berg, and Danie Roussouw on the bench ( i would personally have danie as starter, but we need a more solid line-out option). There is no sense having Matfield/Bakkies in this match, the outcome isn’t important, its not even an official test, and its a perfect match to try out new guys. Put them in the deep end and see how thay cope with it.

As for the props it also isn’t that bad yet. Tighthead unfortuneatly we’ll have to go for Eddie – no way du Plessis will get a call just for one test. But on the loose it doesn’t look all that terrible with Lawry aka Lorry and Carstens as back up. Ofcourse i know that most of you will cry for Deon to be the starter, but i guess his place is on the bench. Lets see if a prop combo of Lawry/Eddie gets it right. I have faith in them.

there is no need to panic, we should still manage to fairly beat an unorganised group of world veterans. But even if things go wrong, it would be the perfect match to see the weak links etc.

Totally agree with you (Point 2). Good luck to Johann, he deserves it.
