[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 665363, member: 39190"] Some thoughts though I think I've made them clear enough for what they are worth; Not at all surprised by Etzebeth and Smith starting. Should hopefully go some ways to remedy the issues at line-out and is a more like for like selection considering injuries. Much better balance all round IMO. Why Beast gets benched byt not Jannie I can't understand. Malherbe is a better scrummager as is and in some sort of form despite his young age for a prop. I'm not saying Jannie has no spot but he has been played to death. And I'd have been happier with one of Marcel van der Merwe or Nyakane coming in rather than Steenkamp. Actually Heinke van der Merwe and Julian Redelinghuys would have featured for me but they're not even if in the squads so no point in wishing. I'm not going to waste my time deriding the continued inclusion of Pienaar any more. I've said enough on that and I'll keep scratching my head there but other than that I am happy HM has kept the faith in the rest despite not living up to expectation in round 1. Hopefully they'll show why they are all there. Quitely confident despite the fixture being away. Hopefully an entertaining match. I'll go Bokke by 5 to 10. [/QUOTE]
