Was the same thing when they picked chilliboy for hooker. At the time he was 3rd in line, not even on the bench at the time, Gary Botha and [another player that escapes my mind at this stage] was 1st and 2nd choice hookers at the bulls.

Actually think it was Bandise Maku, who at the time, was 2nd choice behind Botha at the Bulls. Wasn't long when Maku joined the Lions.
Chilliboy was chosen by old Pieter de Villiers. Think he was trying to do the same with Chilliboy as what Jake White did with John Smith. John was Jake's captain when he coach the junior boks, so was Chilliboy Pieter's captain.

Looks like Lood will get full 80 minutes. Eben to replace Bakkies. This is not a bad team at all, barring Ruan Pienaar of course :twisted:.
Some players are better impact players than full 80 minute players.

jeez that's a good team...
I agree. When any player pull the Green and Gold over their head I support them 100% and hope that they perform well.
RP has talent, of that we are sure. But it might not be suited to the Boks style of play or the Southern Hemisphere's speedier play.

That's the hammer, the nail and the head there...
BTW, mad your picks? A 'tah-filled Oz side may be enough at home to stop the ABs. I am having second thoughts on my call there.

If I were able to change my SuperBru picks, I would have changed that pick about ten times already.
I see Rugby365 seems to agree with the way you and I picked.
They say NZ by less than 10 and that worries me even more.
