    Looking forward to see how he goes with the u20s.

    Must say that I am not a big fan of T. Jantjies… Hope he changes my mind though…

    10. Jantjies
    11. Jordaan
    12. Serfontein
    13. Small-Smith
    14. Mbovane
    15. Schmidt

    With Pollard, Lleyds and Howard on the bench

    Like the look of the backline… Also bodes well for 2013 u20s with Pollard, Serfontein, Swanepoel and Howard being elible together with a fit Tim Swiel

    No way will Small-Smith play ahead of Pat Howard at 13, that would be madness

    Small-Smith has more experience having played SA 7s. Was also the SA Schools captain 2 years ago if I’m not mistaken… I’m a fan of Pat Howard but there’s still alot for him to do

    He’s not signed with the Bulls. Although the Bulls and Sharks have offered him contracts, he hasn’t signed on yet. A WP signing sounds probable.

    @Saffex(Saffex)-2: @Gambit25(Gambit25)-3: I hope you’re both wrong and Paul Jordaan plays 13. With Goosen out, he will be our best and most influential backline player. 13 is his best position, and it’s also one that will give him more opportunities and influence than out on the wing.

    my prediction
    10 Jantjies
    11 Ismael
    12 Serfontein
    13 Jordaan
    14 Mbovane
    15 Schmidt

    @Gambit25(Gambit25)-1: jordaan on the wing last year was pants – knocking on and generally nowhere, he got burnt ALL the time – the nippy irish wing blitzed him and he ended up in a hedge face first!

    Noticeable omissions are locks Jacques du Plessis Ruan Venter and Etienne Oosthuizen
    Rudi van rooyen(half back),Neetling(prop),Stephen cotze(hooker) & full back Craig Berry

    as for the scrummie & lossie depth is a bit poor
    Note: Selection errors was SA downfall last year!!.

    As for the fly halfs (Pollard & tony) although they nowhere near Goosen they Are the best available although Tim Swiel of WP could have been tested

    well sorry to say but i watched the trails and I dont see how Pollard out played Zeilinga on the night,Zeilinga scored a try kicked well and tackled excellent and his passing was great way better than Pollard ,if one had to make a decision that night who the better player was it was by far Zeilinga ,dont get me wrong Pollard is a great player at school level,Zeilinga played in the Sanix world cup at school and has 2 vodacom cup seasons behind him so pressure and BMT is there he kicks great but a pity the sharks didnt give him the chance he wanted to kick .my personal choice would have been to give pollard a season at a higher level first and go with experience and a person conditioned at vodacom cup level and who playes flyhalf and scrumhalf .Zeilinga to me is even beter than Jantjies currently but hey we all have our own opinion go bokke

    So looking at the latest Keohane scandal I can understand why we haven’t seen a real episode of KeoTV in a while.

    I always thought the tiny man seemed a little buzzed on camera. There is an Eric Clapton song that springs to mind…..

Keo.co.za has always promoted uncensored views, but has never tolerated racist or crass outbursts. Come on guys and girls. If you can't moderate yourselves or each other then I am going to be forced to regulate the posts and enforce a registration process for comments. The choice is yours.

Have your say
