PdV ‘rewards form’

PdV ‘rewards form’

19 Jul 2011

The Springboks have named four uncapped players in their match 22 to face Australia in Sydney .

There are debuts for props Werner Kruger and Dean Greyling, as well as flank Ashley Johnson, who all start, while scrumhalf Charl McLeod could get his first cap off the bench.

Openside flank Heinrich Brüssow has failed to recover sufficiently from injury to be considered, but Johann Muller has, and starts in the second row. CJ van der Linde, who Springbok coach last week said was a serious injury concern, plays off the wood.

The versatile Danie Rossouw is deployed at blindside flank in a back row that features Johnson and Bulls fetcher Deon Stegmann. In the back division Ruan Pienaar and Morné Steyn run on as the halfback pair, with Wynand Olivier and Juan de Jongh in midfield.

The back three features players with pace to burn in the form of Gio Aplon, Bjorn Basson and Lwazi Mvovo.

Springbok coach Peter de Villiers said: ‘The new caps had outstanding Super Rugby seasons and this is an exciting opportunity for them. They have been rewarded for their form and now it’s up to them. We have got some new combinations, but there is a lot of potential in this side and the players are hungry for this chance.’

The inexperience of the pack is a concern, in particular the two rookie props. However, captain John Smit expressed his utmost confidence in them.

‘They’ll be nervous and I’m pretty sure Australia will want to have a crack at them as well up front,’ he said. “I’m sure they’ll understand that but the boys have stepped up every week in Super 15 so I can’t see it being any different in a Test match.’

The players in the squad to miss out on selections are: Brüssow, Elton Jantjies, Ryan Kankowski, Odwa Ndungane, Coenie Oosthuizen and Adriaan Strauss.

South Africa: 15 Gio Aplon, 14 Bjorn Basson, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Ashley Johnson, 7 Danie Rossouw, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Johann Muller, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 John Smit (c), 1 Dean Greyling.
Subs: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Alistair Hargreaves, 19 Jean Deysel, 20 Charl McLeod, 21 Adi Jacobs, 22 Pat Lambie.

    @topaz(topaz)-188: have you seen your support base…@Blitzbok(Blitzbok)-191: SA Whites dont play football because… football is very competitive. No club can afford to entertain prejudice. You get relegated when you are kak and you lose millions… not like S15 rugby.. Mitchell and Naka still have jobs?? Mallet only needs to win two games every two seasons to retain his position in Italy.. Chelsea fire their coach when they dont take silverware.. the same with Kaiser Chiefs

    Gumede wanted to change the losing culture at the Lions… The twats reresenting white interest preferred the culture of accommodation..

    So how much of a loser are young man ?? ;-)

    @Blitzbok(Blitzbok)-183: carter tore his achilles in january of 2009 playing for Perpignan and only came back to Test rugby in the last game of Tri-nations in Hamilton where the Boks neeeded half-way kicks fron Frans Steyn to win. the last move of that match was an over-cooked crosskick by carter that would’ve snatche the Tri-Nations title from the Boks…where did he have a **** season in 2009, playing for who?

    langers has self-esteem issues.

    ever since he lost out on the head caddy job at langebaan golf club.

    so he feels the need to over-compensate here.

    I feel he is too harsh on himself, he did after all get through to the final round of interviews.

    I think we should give him our support.

    @he’s not the messiah. he’s a very naughty boy!(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-199: how many tri-nations do the boks have playing with the likes of skop & jag morne compared to the all blacks? what is our recent win ratio vs teams like france, ireland? what is the current win-loss ratio vs the all blacks since re-admission? the bulls had the best lineout combo in the world for the past 5 years, the best 9 for the past 4 years and a menacing pack of forwards that dominated super rugby…their flyhalf was just there to take kicks and THAT he did well, as soon as he starts missing, which he did this year, he was a non-entity…deal with it :D

    @XhosaKid(XhosaKid)-223:

    Yeah, it a shocker alright and it’s shaping up to be a continuation of the S15. Why on earth was PG allowed to go to Japan again?

    I know Coleman will be back next week and GvA was unlucky at the weekend, but it’s a romantic notion to think those two were going to take us through the CC without injury and gain the experience required.

    We were two injuries away from a disaster, now it is one. This AC fekker is really pisssing me off…

    @topaz(topaz)-226: noone i know has ever denied that there are excellent footballers from the coloured community. you just seem to be particularly peeved because of some pie-in-the-sky perception that black people are monopolising football.

    the REAL truth is that a clique of soweto hoodlums ARE monopolising football and have for the past 2 decades. i know of stories where augusto palacios – then bafana coach – was trying to poach brendan augustine who at the time was competing for top goal scorer in the league while playing for Mthatha Bush Bucks. Brendan blatantly refused to sign for chiefs even though palacios threatened NEVER to pick him for bafana if he didn’t.

    so keep fighting your lost cause. :D
