Bekker’s apparently quite a hot-shot bench player.

i would start with Bekker and Matfield.

And pray that Juan Smith is okay

then have a full go at the kiwi lineouts and try and replicate 2009 ….where the kiwis were so scared of lineouts it was unreal….

@HongKongSlong(HongKongSlong)-7:

Yep imo this old ’4 is an enforcer 5 is a that’ addage is very short-sighted and limiting…

There are plenty of players that can and should be able to perform all the tasks required of an international lock depending on what’s in front of them…

Look at the Martin Johnson’s, the Daniel Vickerman’s, the Nathan Sharpe’s they can do it all… hell John Eales could even kick side-line penalties to clinch major cups!

Its nonsense looking at a player like Bekker and pigeon holeing him as a no.5. He does a better job of enforcing then most no.4′s do. Probably the best lock in the world at the moment.

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-1: Jissie Tackles, so skerp soos 'n tweede handse Minora blade vandag! Did you do the proper thing and spoiled your Mother yesterday?

@coma(coma)-2: the same Hargreaves who Antonio van Zyl schooled and fooled?

Bekker should start ahead of Matfield. I’ll team him with Hargreaves. We don’t need an “enforcer”, we need someone who will play hard for 80 minutes. I’ll go

1. Beast
2. Bissie
3. Jannie
4. Hargreaves
5. Bekker
6. Brussouw
7. Flo
8. Alberts

Ootshuizen, Smit, Matfield, Burger on the bench. Elstadt close to selection.

He’s smarter than Bakkies, but not by much. And a park statue is smarter than Bakkies as well.
