[QUOTE="unrated, post: 918807, member: 45773"] I reckon the team will look exactly like this: 15. Willemse 14. Nkosi 13. Kriel 12. De Allende (Although i would have played Esterhuizen for this one) 11. Dyanti 10. Pollard 9. Schreuder ( This is probably the hardest one to call) 8. Vermeulen 7. PSdT 6. Kolisi 5. de Jager (I wuld not want de Jager jumping ahead of the queue as i feel Snyman deserves to start in the absence of Mostert and with PSdT at flank but its pretty obvious actually that de Jager will start) 4. Etzebeth 3. Wilco/Malherbe (my wish would have been to play Thomas the tank) 2. Marx 1. Kitshoff This side looks like quality though even without the guys not selected , i know England has not been playing all that well, but.... 1. they have had time to get their **** together 2. they are playing at home 3. most of the so called injured/retired (Marler) 18 are actually playing in the same front row positions 4. Mitchell will help them with the Afrikaans calls and player knowledge (proves why foreigners should not be appointed in SA) 5. Jones is a good coach and i have faith that England will be part of the top 3 by the world cup. So will we win this? i thinks so, yes. Our defence above all is remarkable, its leaps and bound better than when we faced England first up. Nienaber really is a defensive guru, England wont be able to deal with our rush defence, they will make errors. Lots of them, we will kick for touch and put pressure on their lineouts, expect the Springboks to play with the same tactic as the Sharks used against WP. The rush defence would go all in, in their attempts to make sure the ball does not reach the third player, cut it off after 2 players, third player under enormous pressure forced to do a hot potato pass to his wing if time allows or get either smashed or intercepted. Wont necessarily work on saturday but that will be the Springbok tactic come Saturday. England wings could be in for braces or even triplets if our tactic does not work. Obviously England could try and counter this by kicking box kicks in behind, Faf used to be our sweeper for this scenario. Now he is gone, will the new scrummie fulfill this role? [/QUOTE]
