[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 950903, member: 40658"] I agree Gena. I wouldn't read too much into both teams prior to the World Cup, but for us to not lose 2 games in NZ in 2 years does say a lot about our mental toughness, and the belief in the squad. For me, Rassie is doing a good juggling job with regards to rotation and testing things out while still having the team improve. We have a week off this week before Argentina, and I suspect we will again see some wholesale changes to this past weekend. Nyakane should be our pick at no. 3. He made a massive difference when he came on. Kwagga's second game in green wasn't as bad as you make it sound though. I thought he was fantastic and complimented his fellow forwards brilliantly. Kolisi should be the first choice, yes, but Flouw, Coetzee and Kwagga there, we certainly aren't downgrading in that position. Faf and Willie took a while to get going, but then again they also did that last year against England, and then turned on the magic. Hopefully they will defrost as we edge closer to the World Cup.
