I reckon our A team Boks can smash them at home. This All Black side is too confident for their own good. Kind of reminds me about their peaking issue they have :D

I thought the springboks were in crisis because they got hammered away from home? i guess getting hammered away with a good team must be a hard bullet to bite. The aussies gonna get caned back home.

They got hammered away with an AVERAGE team with useless coaching.

I can't agree with this statement. At the moment SA rugby is a mess.

That's a very strong team. Personally I would have continued with the B team to give these guys more time to rest before the WC. If we don't run OZ close with this team we in the p ooh...

Fook me that is a fun team to field :)

Sure there is space for one or two more players that are still on the injury list.

Glad to see Butch get a run. Sure we will see a HUGE difference from this team to the "B team".

FFS I am now sorry that I made my Superbru pick so soon :( I picked the Aussies because I thought SA would field a B team + 2 or 3 heavy weights... damnit!

Pretty much full strength team this. Schalk in for Danie, Morne in for Butch (although many will argue that Butch is 1st choice). Gio for Habana, Bismarck for John. That's about all....
 
The other changes I totally agree with, but for me Gio was not that good as a winger. I would much prefer him at Fullback, because he love to run at players and find the gaps. Didn't see Butch play for a while, but definitely Butch over Morne for attacking purposes. But crunch game, Morne to finish off the penalties. But if he is going to kick like he kicked 3weeks ago, then I don't know

Spies out and Vermuelen in? Or Spies out and Willem Alberts in... or Spies out and Danie in :p:D

Will give spies the benefit of the doubt in the next two test.
 
Finally, we can call this test rugby...
My concern is we lose 1 or 2 of these guys to injury this Saturday and 1 or 2 next Saturday and all of a sudden we fielding a B team again come World Cup!! I would have wrapped my 1st XV in cotton wool until Wales 11/9/2011...
 
Hookers and loose forwards, when they all fit and firing that's one thing SA rugby has in abundance... Need to retread some of those loosies to centre, fullback and flyhalf.... If only...
