[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1054724, member: 39190"] Jip, it doesn't look like we are holding back vs Aussie, Never know what to expect from them so putting out your best is a good idea. I also am not a fan of the zero lock on then bench route. Its not like we don't have other quality locks available. I suppose NJvR is not available, Maybe they are just not wanting to pick Orie and/or not wanting to admit the mistake and leapfrog him while PSdT and Snyman are unavailable. Anyway, I suppose at a pinch if a lock and Mostert are out Vermeulen can pack down at lock but its not ideal and I don't expect he will be relied upon to go the full 80 after so long a time out. Might be my Stormers bias but I for one am for Willemse ahead of Steyn at this stage unless we are thinking Steyn will make 2023. Steyn doesn't cover any position other than 12 IMO- just too slow for 15. Willemse literally covers all the positions from 10 to 15 so you won't have to rejig your backline with him coming in. He is also a 'confidence player' if I've ever seen one and time and consistency will give him that confidence. [/QUOTE]
