    Goodbye Doppies, thanks for the service over the years .. I just wish that Fraco vd Merwe and Baywatch follow too. Deon v Rensburg should be left to rot in middle earth.

    Expect to see alot more of this! You cant blame these okes for looking for greener pastures because of the rapid decline of a once reputiable franchise and the uncertainty of their Super Rugby future.

    1. Oosthuyzen
    2. Strauss (captain)
    3. Cilliers
    4. Smith (here’s hoping he can still play)
    5. Van Der Merwe
    6. Brussow
    7. Minnie
    8. Strauss (vice captain)
    9. Van Zyl
    10. Goosen
    11. Le Roux
    12. Strauss
    13. Ebershon
    14. Mapoe
    15. Taute

    16. Maku
    17. Van Der Linde
    18. Botha
    19. Labuschagne
    20. Bondesio
    21. Jantjies
    22. Killian

    Plus – most importantly – some depth beyond frontline 22 if the best of Cheetahs and Lions squads are combined.

    ‘Nuff said.

    @RL(RL)-6:

    A pack containing Oosthuzen, Strauss, Cilliers, Smith, Van Der Merwe, Brussow, Minnie and Strauss
    Along with Goosen at 10
    And players like Le Roux, Ebershon and Taute in the backline.
    Not good enough?
    I reckon a team comprising of these players could do some damage.
    As for the details of how this can be achieved… I’m glad I’m not the one making those decisions!

    A team with Cilliers starting, already has a deficiency, add Minnie and van der Merwe for what reason? Minnie is a penalty machine, can’t play two opensiders, if you want to concede penalties just pick james already… Rhodes is a better option next to Brussow, but the locks are pathetic…
