@YoMama(YoMama)-577: Excellent team. Brilliant rationale. Should have space for Aplon instead of Meisiekind.

1 Question…. Where is Kolisi???… Not a single player of colour that has not represented SA before.. so that says alot about the supposed transformation in this country…I m all for merit selection..I know we want continuity, I know we have lots of good loosies.. But C’ mon… this is a preliminary squad, not even a squad of 30… Think Kolisa could/should have been there, ESPECIALLY if you have alook of some of the other names there, players who have proven time and time again that they are not test quality…Good squad… but dont think Heyneke will last long if he continues to pick along these lines… even if the Boks keep winning..

I really feel for Kolisi and Ebersohn. Why choose that useless W Olivier ahead of. Ebersohn?

Looks like a better squad now.. Although I think that its a big suprise to see ndungane there? I mean van den heever is better and willie le roux? Other suprises are JJ Engelbrecht, Ryan Kankowski, Keegan Daniel, CJ Stander?? Will see Vermeulen, Burger etc return.. I will also say that its good to see marcell coetzee there and eter grant.. I would have gone for Elstadt over Flip and I predict that 1 or 2 no
t in this vsquad play their way into the squad.. CJ VD Kinde?

Forgot about Aplon, definetely a strike option at wing.

I’ll make some slight adaptions to the team I posted yesterday, predjudiced towards an attacking team (far as m.Steyn will get you)
Lambie
Aplon
De Villiers
Steyn
Hougaard
Steyn
Pienaar/Du Preez
Johnson/Bismark
Alberts
Brussouw
Bekker
Estebeth
Oosthuizen
Strauss
Beast

Habs, De Jongh, Kruger, Coetzee, Potgieter, Greyling,

Steyn
JPP
De Villiers (c)
De Jongh
Aplon
(BIG conundrum) Steyn , Grant or Lambie
Hougaard
Coetsee
Elstadt
Brussow
Kruger
Etsebeth
Nel
Bismark
Greyling

Beast, Chili, Kruger, Bekker, Alberts / Stander / Kolisi, Van Zyl, Lambie / Engelbrecht / Pietersen / Steyn / Pienaar.

that would have been my thinking

Our backline stocks are so weak for a top 3 rugby nation. Really worried about our depth in just about every position, who’ll play inside centre if Frans is injured?, are our wings threatening at all unless hougaard is occupying one of em, hows our depth at centre generally? Most of the guys are either too small or just too damn one-dimensional. Who’ll be the fullback if Lambie is injured? Kirchtner ? What a joke.

Imagine just for a moment

Stormers playing Fenton – wells, Armand, and Elstadt actually pull it off over Sharks with all their beefy braggadocios

that would be the daintiest little fairy tale come true in overrated guppy yuppie sardientjie land .. Sharkievarkies wouldn’t know how to live that one down.. not on your overrated Nellie

Imagine a midfield with Olivier and De Jongh. The wings should file for pension there and then.

SARU should just ask Heynecke to select his top 30 and have the Super 15 teams do without them for that prior weekend.

It’s all derbies and provides a stupid situation where the players will donner each other in to the ground, leaving the Boks with having to field a bunch of leprous geratrics against England.

Guaranteed scenario:
Four fist choice players will be injured for the England game, on that prior weekend.
The fresh Poms will beat the Men in Green.
The Super Rugby schedule will be debated endlessly after the fact.

Get proactive.

Choosing Blue Bulls much Heineke????

By: YoMama(YoMama)

YoMama(YoMama) — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:58:32 +0000

15 Patrick Lambie
1st Choice. Covers 10 as well

14 JP Pieterson
1st Choice. Covers 15 and 13 as well.

13 Jean De Villiers
Captain. 1st choice at 13. Covers 12 as well while FS is getting married.

12 Frans Steyn
1st Choice. Cover 15 as well

11 Bryan Habana
1st Choice, but only by a whisker. mVovo or Basson will usurp him within the next year.

10 Morne Steyn
2nd Choice. When Goosen comes back, he will drop out of the squad altogether, unless he wants to run the kicking tee on for kicks.

9 Francois Hougaard
1st choice. Just let the boy play. He is no FDP. It’s like asking Christian Cullen to be a kicking fullback. His game is different altogether. Also covers wing.

1 Tendai mTwarira
1st choice. Must keep on his toes as Coenie steps in.

2 Bismarck Du Plessis
1st choice. Quality is permanent. Class is debatable.

3 Jannie Du Plessis
1st choice. Isn’t there another Du Plessis brother whom we can call upon to cover tighthead? He is the only international quality 3 in SA.

4 Eben Etsebeth
1st choice. No more backwheeling Bok scrums

5 Andries Bekker.
1st choice. I just wish that the Stormers would stop playing him. The Boks’ cause is much more vaulable.

6 Heinrich Brussouw
1st choice. Another player in need of cloning.

7 Josh Strauss
4th choice. I rather have Burger, Vermeulen or Potgieter but the thing about Josh is that he will play his heart out, punching above his weight and do a great cover job.

8 Pierre Spies
2nd choice. I prefer the mule, Vermeulen and would like Spies in the last 30 minutes but he’s not a bad fall back on guy.

Reserves
Coenie Oosthuizen
Not far off a starting spot. Just hope this windgat attitude stays on the field. Stands back for no-one and has enough dik boer in him to punish unruly miscreants.

Chilliboy Rallepelle
Very hard to play him above Adriaan Strauss. His ball pilfering skills give him the edge in the internation environment.

Werner Kruger
Only there because no one else is. Stronger than Cilliers and at least loves SA enough to stay, unlike WP Nel who would have gotten the nod ahead of him.

Juandre Kruger
Perfect backup lock, covers 4 and 5.

Willem Alberts
Covers 7 and 8. Really only plays well from the bench, when oppositions are too tired to tackle a rhino.

Fourie Du Preez
Weird but deliberate. Let’s call him the “Assistant Coach” who can also guide Francois.

Wynand Olivier
Way down the totem pole. Will hopefully be that guy at the end of the game with his tracksuit still on.

Bjorn Basson.
Guaranteed to start within the next year. Just needs to learn more skills than, kick – catch and run.

Jaco Taute
Awesome player. Too bad he plays for the pussies. Cover 15 and 13.
