Well the is just the training squad and already pleayers left out.

I really just hope the right 30 will be choosen. :)
 
Sounds like squad may have changed because of political interferance:

"Sharks outside centre Murray was rewarded for his good form. In all there were 14 black players in the 46, adding credibility to the reports last week that politicians were unhappy with the composition of the squad. The group looks a lot different to what it was expected to look a week ago when it was initially due to be announced."
 
Derrick Hougaard is a big loss!! but at least we have the mule (Francois Steyn) in the team. :)

Skinstad is also a good choice !! :D

The only sad part is that not all of them will make the final squad. And who they choose for the final squad is also gonna be just as interesting. :confused:
 
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 :D 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.
