The squad you won’t see

The squad you won’t see

23 Aug 2011

We’ve told you who is likely to make the Springboks World Cup squad, now keo.co.za’s writers pick their preferred 30 as well as their match 22 for the opener against Wales.

KEO’S WORLD CUP SQUAD - Keo believes his squad is so good it needs no elaboration. He picks Johann Sadie and Schalk Brits, while forgotten man Joe van Niekerk makes a shock return from Toulon. Bryan Habana makes his squad, but only as the world’s most decorated tackle bag holder.

Backs (14): Frans Steyn, Pat Lambie, Gio Aplon, Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen, Johann Sadie, Jaque Fourie, Jean de Villiers, Juan de Jongh, Butch James, Morne Steyn, Ruan Pienaar, Francois Hougaard, Fourie du Preez.

Forwards: (16): Pierre Spies, Joe van Niekerk, Schalk Burger, Heinrich Brüssow, Willem Alberts, Danie Rossouw, Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha, Johann Muller, Jannie du Plessis, Beast Mtawarira, Gürthro Steenkamp, CJ van der Linde, John Smit (c), Bismarck du Plessis, Schalk Brits.

Keo’s 22 to face Wales - 15 Frans Steyn, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Butch James, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Schalk Burger, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Victor Matfield, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 John Smit (c), 1 Beast Mtawarira.
Subs: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Danie Rossouw, 19 Willem Alberts, 20 Schalk Brits, 21 Juan de Jongh, 22 Pat Lambie.

JC’S WORLD CUP SQUAD JC cuts John Smit and picks Schalk Brits. Lwazi Mvovo gets handed a ticket to New Zealand and Bryan Habana has to watch from the stands.

16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Danie Rossouw, 19 Pierre Spies, 20 Ruan Pienaar, 21 Juan de Jongh, 22 Gio Aplon.

VREDE’S WORLD CUP SQUAD Simple for Vrede really, no place for Smit in the squad (Victor Matfield gets the captaincy) and Bryan Habana is relegated to the bench for the Test against Wales. Schalk Brits cracks the nod, as does Johann Sadie. Francois Louw is in as cover for Heinrich Brüssow.

Backs (14): Frans Steyn, Patrick Lambie, Gio Aplon, Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen, Johann Sadie, Jaque Fourie, Jean de Villiers, Juan de Jongh, Butch James, Morne Steyn, Ruan Pienaar, Francois Hougaard, Fourie du Preez.

    I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say that Helen and Ethel are characters invented by the Keo crowd to keep the male blog visitors clicking. I’m thinking Helen is Ryan Vrede and Ethel is Simon Borchardt. Bravo, it seems to be working.

    I’m concerned that keo would consider Schalk Brits

    Schalk still the one player with broad smile immediately after a defeat; I still say ‘your cup cannot run over with joy after a loss’

    keo must be frikken retarded.

    He’d pick britz in a match day 22 that already has smit and bismark in it?

    to do what?
    cover flank,cover center?
    and de jong, to do what from the bench? if you are going to have a 5-2 split your 2 must without a doubt be utilities that can cover a couple of positions reasonably competently.
    And what if butch get’s injured early on?
    Frans Steyn to then move to 10….a position he has always been kak in?
    And Aplon at 14? Why? Didn’t keo see how shite he was the other day under pressure and with his dodgy left boot? Ironically, I would consider him as a back 3 utility

    no way hose
    keo is great at critisizing but shite at picking a serious match day 22.

    By the way, I am not Simon Borchardt.

    Some of you might remember me as Jo, but that was many years ago when the bulls babes were still the hottest thing you guys had ever laid eyes on. No-one calls ame Jo anymore, other than some family and fwends

    I think it must be the hardest thing to try and figure out the South African accent.

    In the 3N context, we know what Aussies and Kiwis sound like.

    How would one describe the SA accent?
