Skinstad is also a good choice !!

I hope that is a joke

Without A.A - there would be no Wilemse, Wayne Julies, Certainly no Eddie Andrews who cant even scrum to save his life, no Chavanga, and no Bevin Fortuin, instead there would have been 5 players who deserve to be there. Its a pity "the beast" Mtawarira didnt make it he is a big guy and can scrum well. He is from zim though so im not sure if he cant play for us if he has played for them before. Also sucks Chiliboy is injured he was really doing well. I really feel sorry for Brad Barrit for not making it. Really glad Solly Tyabilika didnt make it.

I have no doubt Luke Watson is a really good player, however i think we have players in that position that are better than him. We have players who can do exactly what he does and are 10-20kg heavier and are faster etc. Its all the W.P. fanboys who want him in. He is good yes, but we have better and they are in the squad.

Agree 110%

SA Rugby also questioned the selection of wings Ashwin
Willemse and Tonderai Chavhanga and former national team captain
Bob Skinstad, the Star said.

Are they questioning Jake about the selections?

Well Willemse not even playing more than 1 game I also can't believe it. Then rather put in Jacobs.

For the "Beast" I think his time will come, not had that much opportunity at the Sharks this year, but he will show us in the CurrieCup if the players are of to the Tri Nations and World Cup.

Also feel sad for Chillyboy, wonder what would have happened if he got some game time this year. Injury is a b1tch for sure.

LOL, and Solly was nearly suspended from the Lions so I doubt he will feel the Green and Gold very soon.

I saw Solly was playing club rugby for Wits the other day... but Skinstad played for them a few years ago so maybe its not the last we've heard from him

That were all the problems started, he is under contract with the Lions and not allowed to play for any other team, injuries ect.

He won't make the side, not on bad preformance (not that he is playing Springbok rugby at the moment), but on his ignorance to contract and rules.

He also missed a few practice sessions IIRC.
