[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 359700, member: 42683"] Normally you are missing 3 or 4 players, not an entire backline. Du Preez, Fourie, de Jongh, Pietersen and later on Habana and Basson are all players out with injuries. On top of that Rossouw, Brussouw, Bekker, Smit and Burger. Not an excuse, just saying. I still feel that games like these against the Barbarians are a buzz kill if a team is playing with the 3rd choice for most positions. Oosthuizen, Adriaan Strauss, Andries Strauss, Ndungane, McLeod, Hargreaves, Jantjies, Alberts, Lambie, Mvovo are all players who had close to no experience in the Springbok-squad. I still feel it would be much more entertaining if we could have used Matfield, Spies, Bismarck and Jannie du Plessis, de Jongh, Fourie, de Villiers, de Preez, Rossouw, Bekker and all those others in a match against the Barbarians. That would bring out the best in the Baa-baas as well in stead of the match dying halfway through [/QUOTE]
