@Sasuke(Sasuke)-139: He is. Question is then, at who'se expense? I suppose JJ, as both Habs and JPP can do a job in the 2nd stanza @ 13. Though not ideally, but it would be nice to see Elton getting game time.

@Pot Blou Gevaar(Pot Blou Gevaar)-132: Is Elton Jantjies in the squad? I would put Elton on the bench and give him so game time. If Morne stuffs up the kicking Elton can come on.

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-128: Yes that is fine and true but how is his kicking? and positioning? Rather Pienaar at 15 than Basson. atleast it is in his blood.

@pompies2(pompies2)-123: OK, I put it down to a misunderstanding then. No problem. Thing is, some Stormers supporters are calling for JP. Some arent. MOST are behind HM, theres no doubt about that.

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-124:
Agreed.
With De Jongh unfortunately not there, and Joe P (unfortunately) there, the best way I see the guys lining up is;
09. Hougaard
10. Morne
11. Habs
12. Timotei
13. DiV
14. JPP
15. Aplon
Benched;
20. Pienaar (covers halfbacks).
21. JJ (midfield, wings), still would prefer JdJ in the mix.
22. Lil’ Joe (FB, and at a pinch can take aim at the sticks with ‘Nerves-of-steel’ Pienaar)
That’s all she wrotes for this Sat I’m afraid.

126 Sasuke

Basson started his career as a 15 and he is probably the best high ball specialist in the country.add the OTHER options I added of Pienaar,Aplon and JPP there are more than enough

No need for JoeP no matter how u look at it. Pienaar has been on top form with his boot throughout European season and he a better kicker than Joe P so you can Los that reasoning too.

@Sasuke(Sasuke)-126: meyer said basson has been tried there for the bulls but maybe it was at training because i don't recall basson @ 15 - but hey i don't watch all bulls games so ja...

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-124: Joe P selection makes no sense as there are Pienaar,Aplon,Basson who can cover 15 Basson? Nah mate.

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-124: That's utopian Mshini. As long long as the size obsession is around, creativity to compensate for the lack of size will be stifled. I don't think the Bok brains trust think 1st phase is the most dangerous platform from which to launch attacks. To them, it seems 1st phase is an enabler to build phase play which would hopefully lead to a defensive mismatch ore defensive lapse.

Joe P selection makes no sense as there are Pienaar,Aplon,Basson who can cover 15,even Morne has played 15for Boks. Would have called up de Jongh who covers both 12/13 at international level with Fransie unavailable.Plus he has been more successful at international level that Timotei.lord forbid now we shall be subjected to Morne drift/crab switch pass with Olivier landing them behind advantage line as telegraphed as anything.Frans Steyn gets away with it sum what due to his superior size but even with him it’s been large,y ineffective.Sa needs better set up moves in midfield,the switch play is not good enough. Bringing in wingers in at first phase/pivot and 10 to loop or shift to create space while putting pressure on looses to pay attention to winger coming in-ala Guilford/Savea for Nz is one way of variation.

JJ Engelbrecht has no business being in Boks squad yet and if he’s cover for midfield yeeesh…..

@Stawm(Stawm)-122: All i'm saying is that WP\Stormers supporters are really punting for his selection. I don't suggest HM bowed to the pressure. Truth be told, he's not test quality and the Boks had enough cover in the squad. I don't jump on the anti-HM bandwagon. He's got enough trophies and accolades to prove he's got the ability. Does that mean i can't disagree with some of the things he does? Hell no.

@pompies2(pompies2)-120:

OK, I read it again.

Heres your line:

“More of an emo selection from the WP stormers supporters because it conjours up memories of Percy in the G&G.”

So explain when I misunderstand it please?

Are you saying WP supporters had a role in this selection? If you answer yes, then you are severely undermining HM’s abilities.

Simple as that.
