[QUOTE="BakkiesBokke, post: 950100, member: 71949"] Northern Hemisphere teams don't have a tournament that subjects them to jet-lag like SH teams do. I would say it makes absolute sense to ensure that 15 players go to NZ ahead of time, in order to get used to the time differences in good time. It allows for the opportunity to test depth. We have had a problem this last year at number 9. When Faf comes off, we have gone off the boil in the last 10-15 minutes. We have now unearthed Herschel Jantjies who will hopefully do well as an impact sub, or as a starter, should Faf not be fit. Well done Rassie on having the faith and for giving him the chance. Profitius, you would presumably have played Faf and given Herschel 10 mins, so as to not "disrespect" the tournament? [/QUOTE]
