[QUOTE="unrated, post: 949592, member: 45773"] The squad has not been announced as I’m writing this but can we please stop following the media narrative that this is a b team? I actually think that whatever team gets picked tomorrow might really impress us, win the game, sit out the next game against the all blacks and then when we play Argentina we would see a mix of both teams. There will be some of the untested foreign players tested in this game such as Reinach, Frans Steyn, Elstad etc... so some of these guys and other locally based players might really impress us so much that after the All Black game that serious debates will be prevalent across South Africa regarding selection. I think this is a master stroke. Not a b or a or c team but rather a different kind of selection, one which maybe incorporates a European based Flavour. I have a feeling that the team that is going to beat the Wallabies on Saturday might actually be able to beat the so called A team if they were pitted against each other. With the above in mind this is the squads I think will firstly start against the Wallabies and then against the All Blacks. XV for Wallabies 15. Francois Steyn 14. Cheslin Kolbe 13. Lukhanyo Am 12. Esterhuizen 11. Mapimpi 10. Jantjies 9. Reinach 8. Marcel Coetzee 7. Pieter Steph du Toit 6. Elstadt 5. RG Snyman 4. Lood se Jager 3. Koch /du Toit / Nyakane 2.Brits 1.Mtawarira All black XV 15. Willie le Roux 14 probably Mapimpi again 13. Kriel 12. De Allende 11.Nkosi 10. Pollard 9. Faf 8. Vermeulen 7. Pieter steph du Toit 6. Kwagga 5. Mostert 4. Etzebeth 3. Kitshoff 2. Marx 1. Malherbe And then to prove my point above this is what I think or strongest combined Xv would be from available players and one we might see against Argentina or against The friendly vs Japan before the World Cup. 15. Le Roux 14. Nkosi 13. Kriel 12. Francois Steyn 11. Mapimpi 10. Pollard 9. Faf 8. Vermeulen 7. Jean luc du Preez 6. Coetzee 5. Pieter Steph du Toit 4. Etzebeth 3. Kitshoff 2. Marx 1. Koch Sorry, I struggle to remember which props plays tighthead and which plays loosehead [/QUOTE]
