[Devill]

Just like to say i dont have a clue how the aussies will fare in the 3N.

Anyway, we'll see, new coach (thank goodness they got rid of knuckle head, knuckles) - go Deans, Go.

Think Robbie deans will really make AUS into a great team again.

Springbok Tri-Nations Squad:

Backs:

Bolla Conradie
Jean de Villiers
Peter Grant
Butch James
Conrad Jantjes
Adrian Jacobs
Enrico Januarie
Bryan Habana
Percy Montgomery
Odwa Ndungane
JP Pietersen
Ruan Pienaar
Francois Steyn

Forwards

Andries Bekker
Bakkies Botha

Tendai Mtawarira
Brian Mujati

Only 3 players shouldn't be there (Twatson, Mujati and Ballas) .... not bad otherwise. Hopefully they really click and pound those AB's

Yeah overall not a bad selection

I can't believe BJ Botha didn't make it.

I can't believe BJ Botha didn't make it.

Yeah that is a ridiculous selection mistake!

JP Pietersen too. His woefully out of form.

 

[Fiekus]

Yeah that is a ridiculous selection mistake!

Have to agree, Mujati not up to scratch yet.
And what about JP?

BJ in dark as to why he was dropped.

I really feel sorry for the guy.

I think the title of the article probably best defines why he was dropped...
